Continuance Without a Finding For Man Charged With Larceny of a Motor Vehicle and Assorted Motor Vehicle Crimes

On November 1, 2019 members of a suburban Boston police department responded to an accident scene. They immediately observed a car with extensive damage. The vehicle was running and the operator was not in the car. Bystanders told the officers that they had witnessed the incident and described the driver as a man wearing clown makeup and with particularized clothing. Within a few minutes the officers located our client. The witnesses made a positive identification of our client as the man who was driving the car. The police soon learned that the car had been stolen from outside of a restaurant in another municipality. Our client was arrested and charged with receiving a stolen motor vehicle, G.L. c. 266 section 28, leaving the scene of an accident with property damage, G.L. c. 90 section 24, OUI, G.L. c. 90 section 24, reckless operation of a motor vehicle, G.L. c. 90 section 24 and malicious destruction to property over $1,200 in violation of G.L. c. 266 section 127. Our office was retained to represent the defendant. Today, we were able to get the case continued without a finding. In one year the charges will all be dismissed.
