A state trooper from Massachusetts is alleging that he was made to change a DUI arrest record for a judge’s daughter in the area.
Ryan Sceviour, 29, had been reprimanded after including oral sex comments in the arrest report of the October 16 detainment of Allie Bibaud.
Allie, the daughter of Dudley District Court Judge Timothy Bibaud, had allegedly swerved into a police construction detail.

‘My dad’s a [expletive] judge. He’s going to kill me,’ Allie Bibaud was alleged to have said in addition to crude offerings of sexual favors in exchange for leniency.
The trooper wrote everything down from the incident into the report and stands by his performance as simply doing his job.
But three days later Sceviour was allegedly told by superiors, including State Police Major Susan Anderson, that he would need to retract parts of the warrant and failure to do so would result in him getting fired.

‘You are to immediately code 7 to the barracks, per the colonel. It’s an order from the colonel. It’s got something to do with an arrest report, umm, a judge’s daughter,’ a voicemail left on Sceviour’s phone said, according to Boston 25.
Sceviour was then reprimanded for including the racy language in his initial report, even after he changed it.

In a statement released at the time, police said: ‘The revision consisted only of removal of a sensationalistic and inflammatory directly quoted statement by the defendant, which made no contribution to proving the elements of the crimes with which she was charged.
‘Inclusion of an unnecessary sensationalistic statement does not meet the report-writing standards required by the department.’
Since then, Sceviour claims he has not been able to sleep since he was forced to make the alteration.
He is demanding an apology and wants his name to be absolved.
‘They have impaired his reputation. People hear his name, ‘isn’t that guy who faked the report. Isn’t that the guy who covered up for the judge?’ Sceviour’s attorney Lenny Kesten said.
‘He said, ‘I don’t want to. This is wrong.’ He said, ‘this is morally wrong.’ [Anderson] said it’s a direct order from the colonel.’
But the police department stands by its decision.
They added: ‘The removal of the inflammatory and unnecessary quotation did not change the substance of the trooper’s narrative, did not remove any elements of probable cause from the report, and, most importantly, had no impact on the charges against the defendant.
‘The defendant remains charged – as she was initially charged — with operating under the influence of drugs, operating under the influence of liquor, negligent operation of a motor vehicle, and two other motor vehicle offenses, and she will be held accountable for those crimes based on the evidence collected by State Police.’
