Lawrence, MA- Police officer Daron Fraser found guilty of Assualt & Battery.

HAVERHILL — A veteran Lawrence police officer was found guilty of domestic assault and battery and faces the possibility of losing his job.

Daron Fraser was placed on probation for a year and ordered by Judge Stephen Abany to attend a treatment program for batterers. Lawrence police Chief John Romero said he will recommend that Fraser be fired.

The guilty finding came yesterday after a two-day trial in Haverhill District Court.

Fraser, 39, of Raymond, N.H., was arrested after a July 13, 2010, altercation with a former girlfriend on Kimball Street. Another off-duty officer, Joshua Waller, 26, of Methuen, used a Taser issued by his employer, the Kingston Police Department, to subdue Fraser, investigators said.

Waller was initially arrested and charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, but District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett dropped that charge in September.
