    Dr. Peaslee, however, had a split personality. Although he was generally a respected member of the settlement at other times townsmen considered him a nuisance or worse. He was in and out of court on numerous occasions both as a plaintiff and defendant for various misdeeds several of which reveal a darker side to his character.

    In November of 1676 Peaslee was charged with assaulting one Peter Bruer with a chain. He was ordered to pay restitution to Mr. Bruer in corn and money. He was also bound to good behavior. Later in April 1677 he was convicted of abusing Timothy Swan and ordered to pay 20 shillings in corn to Timothy's father, the contentious Robert Swan.

    Then in 1681 he faced major assault charges for a brutal beating of one Peter Green following a barn-raising, ordinarily a neighborly affair. The cause of the altercation is unknown but along with several other witnesses, Ephraim Roberts testified that Peasley had chucked Green under the chin, and then took an apple from a tree and stomped it to pieces boasting: "I could do with you as to this apple, and deal with you and throw you into the river." Peaslee challenged him to a fight but Green refused and began walking home. After following him for a short distance Peaslee struck his victim from behind and beat him until he lost consciousness. He told Ephraim Roberts that Green was drunk and to haul him under a log and leave him there. Peaslee was found guilty, fined and forbidden thereafter to bear any weapons.
