Charges of Assault and Battery on a Police Officer against Maine women resolved through pre-trial probation

Boston Municipal Court: The prosecution charged our client, a woman from Portland, Maine with Assault and Battery on a Police Officer and Disorderly Person. The allegations stemmed from an incident in a local North Station bar wherein patrons reported a disturbance. A Boston police officer on foot patrol responded. He was told by personnel working at the establishment that our client along with a couple of her friends became involved in an argument with other patrons and that the argument escalated. The responding officer claimed that while investigating the complaint he was assaulted by our client, one of her female friends and a male friend. As to our client it was alleged that she grabbed the officer from behind by his neck and struck him. Today Attorney Neyman was able to get the case resolved through pre-trial probation. The defendant will not have a criminal record and all charges will be dismissed.
