"A chief justice of the District Court placed Welsh on administrative duties beginning on Monday. He is not hearing cases while the matt"
Robert A. Welsh III, a judge at Orleans District Court, faces misdemeanor assault and battery on a household or family member and a felony assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. The charges were filed in Brighton District Court, and an arraignment was scheduled for May 19 at Brighton Municipal Court. Welsh’s attorney requested moving the hearing to June due to unavailability. The case was transferred to Brighton because of a conflict, and court documents do not specify where the alleged assault occurred. The court is impounding the complaint, application, and supporting reports until arraignment because the materials include sensitive crime details and identify the alleged victim. The commonwealth plans to provide copies with proposed redactions before the documents become public. Welsh is off the bench and assigned administrative duties.
