Judge's Daughter At Center Of MSP Controversy Pleads Guilty

WORCESTER, MA—A woman who unwittingly sparked legal action against the Massachusetts State Police has pleaded guilty to OUI charges on Friday, according to reports.

Alli Bibaud pleaded guilty to two counts, including OUI (liquor.) She received probation, random testing and a loss of license, reports WBZ. She also must complete a residential treatment program.

Bibaud is at the center of controversy that started when she was pulled over in October andarrested by Trooper Ryan Sceviour, who filled out a detailed report of the incident. The trooper filed a suit last week against the MSP after he said the agency forced him to remove details from a police report because Bibaud is the daughter of a Worcester County judge.

Only days after the suit was filed, Colonel Richard McKeon, the superintendent of Massachusetts State Police, announced his retirement.

"As you are now aware," McKeon wrote in a letter to Executive Office of Public Safety and Security secretary Daniel Bennett, "there has been increasing media and public controversy over how my office handled the processing of a woman in Worcester County after a Trooper arrested her on charges stemming from erratic behavior and potential threat to others in her operation of a motor vehicle."

On Nov. 15, 23-year veteran of the MSP Kerry Gilpin was named the new superintendent and colonel, reports WBUR. Days earlier, second-in-command Francis Hughes had also announced his resignation.
