State Police Want Superior Court Judge Arrested in Connection With Salisbury Case (WEB FIRST)

SALISBURY (AP) — Connecticut State Police have applied for a warrant to arrest a Superior Court judge for coercion and hindering a criminal investigation in Salisbury.

The Republican-American newspaper reported Thursday that Judge Corinne L. Klatt has declined to sign an arrest warrant application targeting a Salisbury man accused of attacking a man who was communicating with his former girlfriend in November unless she receives an arrest warrant for the victim.

Salisbury Resident Trooper Mark Lauretano now wants the judge arrested, saying her actions amount to “coercion and a violation of criminal law.”

The newspaper reports that Judge Klatt declined to comment in Litchfield’s Bantam Court or say why she refused to sign an arrest warrant application for the man singled out by police as the assailant in a fight at the West Main Cafe in Salisbury.

A call to Troop B headquarters confirmed that a warrant had been drawn up but was as yet unsigned.
