Felony Assault and Battery Against Local Mechanic Dismissed
In November of last year our client was arrested and charged with assault and battery on an elderly person under G.L. c. 265 section 13K. According to the police report, our client and his 68 year old father were arguing about money. During the argument our client got angry and threw his father to the ground. The police were called. Our client had left the scene. He was later located, arrested and charged. This crime is a felony in Massachusetts. It is punishable by up to 2 1/2 years in the house of corrections. Family situations like this often resolve favorably for the accused. In this case, nearly 7 months has passed since the incident. The alleged victim had ample time to calm down and let the matter play out. He took advantage of that time and made the decision not to appear for trial which was scheduled for today. As such, the case was dismissed.
