IPSWICH, Mass. (WHDH) — The Ipswich Fire Chief is expected to appear in court Monday after an arrest on Saturday.

Investigators say Gregory Gagnon, 41, of Dracut, tried to strangle a woman back in 2016. He was charged last week with assaulting that same woman.

Gagnon will be arraigned in Lowell District Court.

He has been placed on paid administrative leave.
