Charges of Domestic Assault and Battery on Restaurant Owner Dismissed
Last April, police in a Massachusetts city responded to a domestic call. They were met by the victim who is married to the defendant. She was out of breath, bruised, cut and crying. She told the officers that she and her husband argued. The argument became tense. Frustrated, our client threw a medicine bottle at his wife, ran up to her, choked her and punched her several times in the head. This was witnessed by the couple’s adult son.. The police made an arrest charging domestic assault and battery, G.L. c. 265 section 13M, assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon, G.L. c. 265 section 15A and strangulation or suffocation, G.L. c. 265 section 15D. The latter two crimes are felonies in Massachusetts. Today, all charges were dismissed.
