Overview
- Michael Gagnon appeared in Plymouth District Court on charges of unlawful wiretap and violating an abuse prevention order tied to March 10, entered not guilty pleas, and had his bail revoked.
- Prosecutors say he used a shared Amazon account to control Ring cameras and Alexa devices in his estranged wife's home, with logs showing nearly constant viewing of one camera from 10:55 a.m. to 7:27 p.m. that day.
- The woman had reported a drone over her property, an unpostmarked envelope of text-message screenshots left in her mailbox, and a powered-on baby monitor under her bed, prompting a police sweep.
- Massachusetts bans recording private conversations without consent or a warrant, a rule prosecutors say was broken through alleged listening via smart-home audio.
- Gagnon remains suspended without pay from the State Police since December 2025, and earlier child-assault and witness-intimidation cases are still pending as criminal and personnel investigations continue.
