BRENTWOOD — A judge declared a mistrial for an ex-Seabrook police officer accused of assaulting a 19-yearold drunken driving suspect while on duty.
The jury in the Mark Richardson trial told Judge N. William Delker at least twice on Tuesday that they were deadlocked on reaching a verdict before they were released from duty. “There was more than a lone holdout. I don’t think we ever got a number,” defense lawyer Peter Perroni said late Tuesday.
Richardson, 40, faced a single count of simple assault by an on-duty law enforcement officer for slamming Michael Bergeron into a cement wall at the Seabrook police station on Nov. 11, 2009.
