Charges of Assault by Means of a Dangerous Weapon (Gun) and Vandalism Against Doctor to be Dismissed

In October of last year, our client, a local physician, was charged with 5 counts of assault by means of a dangerous weapon under G.L. c. 265 section 15B and 1 count of vandalism under G.L. c. 266 section 126A. All charges are felonies in Massachusetts and a conviction would result in the doctor losing his medical privileges in Massachusetts and elsewhere. The facts are as follows. In October of 2023 several children in the defendant’s neighborhood were throwing balls at his house and taunting him relentlessly. This had been recurring for months. The police were called on several occasions yet they were unable to control the youths. Frustrated, our client grabbed one of his guns, pointed it towards the children and succeeded in scaring them into vacating the area. Ring video footage confirmed the allegations and charges were brought. Attorney Neyman was able to convince the judge to continue the matter without a finding (CWOF). All charges will be dismissed if the doctor remains free from criminal legal problems. His professional license will not be impacted.
