North Adams Brings Up High Street Gun Law Case
Berkshire district court moves on a tough gun law that mandates a one year jail term for illegal gun possession as defendant Neal C. Cheesbro, 18, pleaded guilty in North Adams and then challenged the sentence. Judge Benjamin Apkin released him on recognizance pending appeal. Cheesbro was on leave from Fort Carson at the time of arrest. A second case involves a mother of a two month old found abandoned in an Eagle Street trash can. Judge Apkin set February 12 for further proceedings while charges of attempted murder and child abandonment linger as Bonnie L. Maynard, 23, remains jailed.
