Pretrial Probation Imposed for Man Charged With Various Gun Crimes

Our client is retired career military and career law enforcement. His entire career was spent outside of Massachusetts. In June of 2020 his partner of several years called for a wellness check after having some concerns about his mental health. A commitment under G.L. c. 123 section 12 was ordered. During the course of treatment mandatory reporters learned that the man possessed several firearms. A police investigation corroborated the report. The officers went to our client’s home and located a handgun in his car, other firearms and ammunition. The man was charged with violating G.L. c. 269 section 10(h), leaving a firearm unattended, possession of a firearm without an FID card, G.L. c. 269 section 10(h) and possession of ammunition under G.L. c. 269 section 10(h). Attorney Neyman was able to convince the prosecutor that the man’s military service and law enforcement career warranted pretrial probation under G.L. c. 276 section 87. All charges will be dismissed within a year.
