Pretrial Diversion Granted for Graduate Student Charged with Disorderly Conduct, Trespass, Disturbing the Peace and Resisting Arrest

The defendant is a graduate student with a 4.0 GPA. On April 6, 2018 she was in line at a club in Worcester. She and her friends were denied entry as one of the security staff believed one of the friends to be intoxicated. The group began to argue with the staff and a police officer was called. The officer alleged that the defendant refused to leave the premises and began arguing with the officer. She was advised to leave the property again by the officer. She refused and threatened to hire a lawyer and complained that her rights were being violated. Once the officer determined that the woman was not going to leave he went to arrest her. She resisted. She was ultimately charged with disorderly conduct, G.L. c. 272 Section 53, trespass, G.L. c. 266 Section 120, disturbing the peace, G.L. c. 272 Section 53 and resisting arrest, G.L. c. 268 Section 32B. Attorney Neyman was hired to represent the woman. Our office was able to get pretrial diversion pursuant to G.L. c. 276A prior to arraignment. The case is dismissed.
