Summons Issued Against Patrolman Over Assault Claim
In Jamaica Plain a District Court case over two men arrested in Franklin Park yesterday shifted after Judge Brackett discharged James R. Reardon and Michael McCarthy on profanity charges. A summons was issued for Patrolman John J. Coffey of Dorchester Division 11, charging him with assault. The hearing is set for next Monday. Coffey testified he handcuffed Reardon not for blows but due to Reardon's fighter reputation. Reardon alleged the officer struck him unprovoked on a misty night with blood visible on his clothing.
