Charges of Threatening to Commit Crime Against Convenience Store Owner Dismissed Prior to Arraignment
The defendant is a convenience store owner. In October of last year while working the store he stopped a woman who was routinely stealing goods from his store. He did not call the police, instead asking her not to return to the store again. Fearing he was going to report these multiple incidents to the police, she took a preemptive strike and called the police on him accusing him of threatening to commit a crime, specifically assault and battery under G.L. c. 265 section 13A. The threats charge violates G.L. c. 275 section 2. For some reason, the defendant missed a clerk magistrate hearing and a criminal complaint issued against him. That is when we were hired. Today, we convinced the district attorney’s office to agree to a dismissal prior to arraignment.
