- Motor Vehicle By-Law Violation, in violation of M.G.L. c. 85, § 10
Case Overview:
A woman went to renew her license but was unable to do so because she had two outstanding warrants for her arrest in Massachusetts. The first warrant was in Attleboro District Court for her failure to appear for the charge of Operating a Motor Vehicle with License Suspended for OUI (which carries a mandatory 60-day jail sentence). The second warrant was in Fall River District Court for failure to comply with probation after admitting to Leaving the Scene of Property Damage. The woman retained Massachusetts Criminal Defense Lawyer, John L. Calcagni III, to assist her with removing these warrants and resolving the pending cases.
Case Result:
- Fall River District Court: Warrant Vacated and Probation Terminated.
- Attleboro District Court: Warrant Vacated and Case Dismissed.
Attorney Calcagni and his team first surrendered the woman in Fall River District Court, where they caused the warrant to be recalled and her probation to be terminated. Next, they surrendered her in Attleboro District Court where they caused the warrant to be vacated and the case to be dismissed in exchange for the payment of $200 in costs.
