Court records: Fall River City Council President charged with criminal harassment

The president of the Fall River City Council has been charged.

According to court records, Pam Laliberte was charged with Criminal Harassment, Annoying Telephone/Electronic Communications and 2 counts of Intimidation of a Witness on Thursday.

The charges stem from an investigation that began in April 2022. As a part of the investigation, detectives were granted a search warrant for an application used to disguise telephone numbers and a person’s identity. As a result of the search warrant detectives learned the calls and text messages were being placed by Laliberte’s cellphone.

According to the investigation, multiple phone numbers were created through an app and used to reportedly harass a Westport couple.

Laliberte allegedly opened an account to make the spoof numbers that were used in the criminal harassment.

Westport Police stated that Laliberte became aware of the investigation and contacted one of the victims in an attempt to have the investigation stopped.

This is a developing story.
