Pretrial Probation Under G.L. c. 276 Section 87 for Business Executive Charged With Disorderly Person, Disturbing the Peace and Resisting Arrest

Our client is a high level business executive with an MBA from one of the best business schools in the country. He relocated to Massachusetts after receiving a promotion to run an international branch of his company. He was invited to a party and unexpectedly became extremely intoxicated and confused. He left the party and drove to the parking lot of a crowded strip mall. His behavior caused alarm and the police were called. As officers approached him he became aggressive and swore at them. He began screaming at the top of his lungs causing a crowd to gather. One of the officers attempted to calm him down. In doing so our client became physically aggressive and needed to be restrained. He was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and disturbing the peace, both violations of G.L. c. 272 Section 53 and resisting arrest under G.L. c. 268 Section 32B. He contacted Attorney Neyman to represent him. Any conviction or admission would likely result in this man losing his job. Our office was able to get him pretrial probation under G.L. c. 276 Section 87. The case will be dismissed in six months and this will have no impact on his employment.
