Charges of Domestic Assault to be Dismissed

The defendant is a very successful commercial insurance agent. He and the complainant had been in a dating relationship of over a year. While out to dinner our client learned that the complainant had been seeing someone else. He immediately ended the relationship and asked the waiter for a check. He agreed to drive the complainant home as she complained that she had no money for a cab or Uber. There was absolutely no discussion in the car. When our client dropped her off she pleaded with him to reconsider the breakup. He refused and told her to “get out of his face or he would kill her”. She closed the car door and went into her house. He then drove off. Within a few minutes he was pulled over and arrested for assault on a family member in violation of G.L. c. 265 section 13M. The woman had apparently called the police claiming that our client had assaulted her; i.e. threatened to commit a battery. The case was continued without a finding for one month. All charges will then be dismissed.
