The Gardner Lake Volunteer Fire Co. chief, accused of creating a public disturbance during a scuffle at the firehouse last year, is due in court Tuesday for a hearing in the case. Records show the incident involving James Savalle happened March 24, 2018, although it’s unclear when police cited him with creating a public disturbance, which is a criminal infraction that doesn’t involve an arrest. Because the incident happened more than two months ago, state police only could confirm it happened at the fire station at 429 Old Colchester Road. Per a new policy, they deferred requests for further information to Legal Affairs, an arm of the state Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection that sometimes takes more than two years to provide information.
