Case Overview:
A woman faced three open criminal cases and active arrest warrants. The first case arose from her refusal to vacate an Airbnb and her resistance to police attempting to remove her. The second case stemmed from her conduct upon release from police custody. The third case involved an assault on a Public Safety Officer at Charlton Memorial Hospital during an involuntary admission, where the woman caused deep scratches to the officer’s arm. She retained Massachusetts Criminal Defense Lawyer, John L. Calcagni III, to defend her.
Attorney Calcagni and his team first surrendered the woman in Taunton District Court, resolving the first two cases. The warrants were lifted, and both cases were continued without a finding (CWOF) for three months. They then surrendered her in Fall River District Court on the third case, which was also CWOF’d for six months. If she avoids further legal trouble, all three cases will be dismissed and immediately eligible to be sealed from public record.
Case Result:
- Case #1: Three-Month Continuation Without a Finding
- Case #2: Three-Month Continuation Without a Finding
- Case #3: Six-Month Continuation Without a Finding
