Assault and Battery
Vandalize Property
Client, a former NHL player and Vietnam War veteran, was charged with assault and battery and vandalizing property. According to the police report, a young boy in the neighborhood was acting unruly and assaultive towards other young boys and girls. Client, witnessing this dangerous behavior, took action by restraining the young boy—leaving a small mark and (possibly) ripping his shirt. Fortunately, a seasoned and experienced district attorney was assigned to the case, who after speaking and doing her own investigation, determined that the actions of the defendant should not be criminally prosecuted—the case was dismissed.
Result: BOTH CHARGES DISMISSED.
