Pretrial Probation for Non-Citizen Charged With Assault and Battery by Means of a Dangerous Weapon
On August 30, 2022 police in a Boston suburb received a call for a disturbance in a parking lot. When they arrived they learned that the defendant, a non-citizen, was acting irrationally, challenging everyone in the parking lot to a fight. She was chasing patrons, throwing objects at their cars and threatening everybody in the vicinity. When the police tried to calm her down she kicked an innocent bystander with her shoes. She was arrested and charged with assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon, to wit a shod foot in violation of G.L. c. 265 section 15A. Today our office was able to get her pretrial probation pursuant to G.L. c. 276 section 87. This will have no impact on her status whereas a felony conviction or even a continuance without a finding might have resulted in her deportation.
