Charges of larceny over $250 and receiving stolen property over $250 not prosecuted against local college student

Boston Municipal Court Docket # 09-2339. On March 26, 2009 Boston police were called to an upscale retail store in Boston’s Back Bay. They were met by store managers who had detained a local female college student. The authorities alleged that the female had stolen over $1,200 worth of merchandise. She was witnessed by store security cameras placing dresses in a bag and walking out of the store without paying for the goods. Officers then observed several other items in the bag bearing tags from another local retail store. Our client was unable to produce a receipt for those items and the manager of that store was contacted. It was subsequently learned that those items were also stolen and had a value of $1,250. Attorney Neyman succeeded in getting the judge to impose pre-trial probation for a period of one year. If the defendant remains free from criminal trouble during that time period the case will not be prosecuted.
