The recently released leader of the Salisbury-based gang called"Crimesquad 4 Life 3:19" will spend the next three years of his life behind bars.

Paris Cormier, 21, of 3 Ashworth Terrace, Haverhill, was found guilty of violating probation yesterday in Newburyport and ordered to serve two 21/2-year sentences for two charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. Cormier was released in February after serving two years in prison for the charges.

"His reign of terror comes to an end," Salisbury police Chief David L'Esperance said.

Cormier had been identified as an attacker in a March 17 assault on Atlantic Avenue in Salisbury, in which he punched a man in the face and kicked out one of his teeth, according to police reports. The victims identified Cormier after seeing photos of him on the Crimesquad MySpace page, according to reports.

After receiving a tip, police found Cormier in a trailer at Heritage Trailer Park on Lafayette Road in Salisbury. After ordering Cormier to leave the trailer several times and then notifying him they would send in a police dog, police sent in Amesbury K-9 officer Kaybar, who found Cormier hiding underneath a mattress, according to reports.

Cormier refused to put his hands up and was bitten by Kaybar, according to police reports. He also reportedly yelled "3:19" as he was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. Those charges violated his probation agreement, prosecutors argued.

Judge Peter Doyle agreed, saying Cormier had amassed a "substantial record" of arrests and probation violations. He ordered him to fulfill the remainder of his sentence.

Cormier was originally found guilty in 2006 of assaulting two men at a party at High Rock. Cormier helped beat and kick the two men, one of whom was thrown into a campfire.

Cormier still faces assault and battery charges for the Atlantic Avenue attack, L'Esperance said. But Cormier's incarceration for violating probation should cut down on wannabe-gang-related activity in Salisbury, L'Esperance said.

"Usually it quiets things down somewhat," L'Esperance said.

L'Esperance said Cormier "deservedly" needs to finish his sentence but said the increased prison time might give Cormier the impetus to change that probation did not.

"I hope he rehabilitates himself, takes some time to reflect on what it means to be a good citizen," L'Esperance said.
