Last year, Fisk accepted the prosecution’s downward departure offer of five-year probation rather than a pos- sible 25- to 30-month prison sentence. Fisk was charged with fourth-degree assault for in- juring a woman July 8, 2013, after having been previous- ly convicted of four domes- tic violence charges. On May 27, Fisk was charged with fourth-degree assault, interference with making a 911 report and harassment for abusing another woman. The assault in May oc- curred in front of the wom- an’s child, according to the indictment. Within one year, Fisk violated his probation and now faces nearly four years in prison. “We gave him a shot and he blew it,” Marquis said.
