The defendant, a student attending college in Boston, was denied entrance to a local club due to his intoxication and was asked to leave the area, but refused. When the defendant started to scream profanity at random, a Boston Police Officer told him to leave but instead the defendant demanded to be arrested. Unfortunately for the defendant, the officer obliged. After the defendant was arrested and booked for disorderly conduct, he hired Attorney Topazio to represent him. Attorney Topazio met with the prosecuting attorney and negotiated that his client complete 20 hours of community service in exchange for the charge being dismissed and the Commonwealth agreed. In lieu of being arraigned on the case, which would have resulted in the formation of a criminal record, Attorney Topazio requested that his client’s case be continued for further arraignment to give the client time to complete the community service hours. Today, after submitting proof that his client completed the requested community service hours, Attorney Topazio convinced the court to dismiss his client’s case prior to arraignment.
