Former Danbury School Safety Advocate Enters Probation Program

DANBURY, CT — A former high school safety advocate accused of disorderly conduct has been given a path out of her felony and misdemeanor charges, the News-Times is reporting.

Sueanna Lamontagne, 50, applied for the diversionary program during her appearance last month at state Superior Court in Danbury, and was granted permission to enter the diversionary, pretrial intervention program there on Monday.

Lamontagne was charged with second-degree breach of peace, disorderly conduct, interfering with an officer and felony assault of public safety or emergency medical personnel on Feb. 22. Police reported that she cursed at cops and hit an officer repeatedly in the face when police went to investigate why she had parked her car diagonally across a road, blocking traffic.

Lamontagne lost her job as a Danbury High School safety advocate following her arrest. Her attorney said his client has led “an exemplary life.” If she successfully completes the program, the charges against her will be dismissed.

Conditions placed by the judge for Lamontagne 's entry into the accelerated program include 25 hours of community service, participation in a substance and/or alcohol abuse program, private counseling, and no rearrests.
