NEW BEDFORD — A “major violators prosecutor” was named today by Bristol County District Attorney C. Samuel Sutter to rid the region of the worst gang leaders, drug sellers, weapons peddlers and other chronic offenders.
The $65,000 salary for Assistant District Attorney Steven Eric Gagne’s new position is being paid for largely through a two-year grant from the U.S. Attorney and the Justice Department’s Project Safe Neighborhoods initiative.
Mr. Gagne will serve as a go-between with federal and state prosecutors to determine which jurisdiction should best handle an individual.
He will identify those responsible for “the worst, the biggest crimes in the county,” said Mr. Sutter, and “getting them incarcerated for a long, long time.”
Mr. Sutter was flanked at his press conference this morning by state police, Bristol County Sheriff Thomas Hodgson, and representatives, mostly chiefs, from every police department in the county.
