Larceny Charges do not Issue After Clerk’s Hearing

On December 15, 2015 members of the Bridgewater, Massachusetts Police Department were dispatched to a residence for a report of a larceny. They met with a homeowner who had hired a maid service to clean her house on a weekly basis. On this occasion the woman returned home to find cash and prescription pills missing. The police contacted the maid service and learned that the defendant and one other person had cleaned this woman’s home. The defendant had a prior complaint lodged against him for stealing prescription medications. The other maid stated that the defendant cleaned the room where the theft occurred. Before retaining counsel the defendant made the same statement but denied stealing the money or the drugs. He was summonsed to court for a clerk magistrate hearing for larceny charges, in violation of G.L. c. 266 Section 30. Attorney Neyman represented the man and the charges were dismissed. No complaint will issue.
