Ex-officer R.J. Letendre booked at Dover police station
DOVER – Former Dover police officer Ronald “RJ” Letendre – who is facing criminal charges – was recently booked at the city police station.
At the request of Foster’s Daily Democrat, Dover police released Letendre’s booking photo after he was processed on a felony charge at the station where he used to work.
Superior Court Judge Mark E. Howard issued a bail order for Letendre in December, requiring the former Dover cop to “arrange for booking or processing by the Dover Police Department on or before Dec. 30.”
Dover Police Chief William Breault terminated Letendre in August “due to multiple violations of departmental policy,” after police conducted an internal investigation into the former officer’s conduct.
DOVER – The attorney for former Dover police officer Ronald “RJ” Letendre asked for his client to have access to guns while out on bail on a felony charge of falsifying physical evidence.
Strafford County Attorney Thomas Velardi also revealed Letendre and his estranged wife, Sarah Letendre, may be seeking to reunite, raising that as a concern regarding the guns.
Public defender Carl Swenson argued Friday morning “that there is a constitutional right to a firearm” and Letendre should not be prevented from having access to one “merely because of an accusation of a felony-level offense.”
Swenson told Superior Court Judge Mark Howard “the circumstances of this case does not suggest” there would be any danger for Letendre to have “access to a firearm.”
