Charges of Possessing a Firearm While Intoxicated to be Dismissed

The defendant lives in a rural part of Massachusetts. Several months ago he called the police to complain of a disturbance with unfriendly neighbors. The police arrived and noticed that the man, while in his home was in possession of a firearm. He was properly licensed to possess and carry the weapon. The officers then contacted the neighbors to advise them of the complaint. While doing so the neighbors were told that the man owned a gun. The police left. Later that evening, after an exchange of hostile texts between the neighbors and our client the police were called back to the home. This time however the neighbors called. The officers contacted our client and observed him still in possession of the firearm but this time intoxicated. Our client was summonsed to court and ultimately charged with possession of a firearm while intoxicated in violation of G.L. c. 269 Section 10H. Attorney Neyman was hired for representation. Today, we were able to negotiate a continuance without a finding (CWOF) for our client. All charges will be dismissed in 6 months.
