Felony Charges of Larceny Over $1,200 and Shoplifting Against Entertainment Executive do not Issue After Clerk Magistrate Hearing
On January 22, 2022 police were called to a high end clothing store for a report of a theft. Loss prevention personnel met the officers to advise that they observed a woman stealing items the value of which exceeded $1,200, thereby making the crime a felony in Massachusetts. A clerk magistrate hearing was scheduled charging a violation of G.L. c. 266 section 30A. We convinced the clerk’s office that our client, a well know figure in the entertainment industry, had been suffering from depression and anxiety, that she had no prior record and that all of the merchandise had been returned, uncompromised. Based on that and our representation, no complaint issued.
