Charges of Assault by Means of a Dangerous Weapon and Resisting Arrest Against Postal Worker Nolle Prossed After Video Shows Police Officer Lied

Our client is a postal employee with an unimpeachable record. In August of last year he was driving on a highway outside of Boston. The police had secured the scene of a disabled vehicle in that area and traffic was slightly redirected to keep cars at a safe distance from the site. Our client was driving his pickup truck safely and in accordance with the limitations imposed by the attending police officers. After our client safely approached and left the secured area an overly aggressive police officer got into his cruiser, stopped our client and aggressively pulled him from his truck. Our client was arrested and charged with assault by means of a dangerous weapon, the truck in violation of G.L. c. 265 section 15B and resisting arrest under G.L. c. 268 section 32B. Attorney Neyman was hired. We procured body worn camera video and prevailed on the district attorney’s office to agree that our client did not commit any crimes. Today, the district attorney’s office filed a nolle prosse. All charges have been dismissed.
