Charges of Domestic Assault and Battery, Disorderly Person and Resisting Arrest to be Dismissed

On October 5, 2015 members of the Brookline, Massachusetts police department responded to a call for a fight in a posh neighborhood. They encountered the defendant, a local financier in an apparent state of inebriation. She was with her boyfriend who was bruised and bloodied. He told the officers that during an argument the woman attacked him, ripped the skin on his face and smashed his eyeglasses into his cheekbones. The officers then tried to discuss the matter with the woman who then became unruly and had to be arrested. During the process she resisted and assaulted the officers. The woman was charged with domestic assault and battery, G.L. c. 265 Section 13M, resisting arrest, G.L. c. 268 Section 32B and disorderly person, G.L. c. 272 Section 53. The woman hired attorney Stephen Neyman to represent her. Today, Attorney Neyman was able to get the woman pretrial probation pursuant to G.L. c. 276 Section 87. In six months all charges will be formally dismissed. She will have no criminal record.
