Keith Lucy, who lost his re-election bid to the Board of Selectmen last week, will be arguing his case to a trial jury.
Former Selectman Keith Lucy will be heading to trial next month in Salem District Court to argue against an assault charge being brought by the Essex County District Attorney's office. The Salem News reports that Lucy and his attorney Michael Smerczynski (who is also the City Solicitor for Peabody, for the record) have decided to not seek dismissal of the charge after all, but rather argue the case at trial. The trial is set for June 26. Lucy, who lost his re-election bid to the Board of Selectmen last week, pleaded not guilty at his initial arraignment in November and denies the allegation. The DA's office took over the case for the alleged victim, John Fratus, after probable cause was found earlier this year. Fratus sought the charge …

All three candidates for Selectman in Danvers took part in a forum with DCAT and local news outlets Tuesday night, fielding questions ranging from housing homeless families in motels to long-term debt, tax policy and medical marijuana dispensaries in town
Tuesday night's forum in Danvers presented the three candidates for the Board of Selectmen with a wide range of topics to address -- everything from tax policy to medical marijuana treatment centers, housing homeless families in motels, transparency in government and managing long-term debt. The May 7 Town Election pits incumbent selectmen Keith Lucy and Dan Bennett against challenger Dave Mills in a three-way race for two seats. Two topics that sparked some of the most impassioned remarks of the night were about housing homeless families in town and lingering traffic issues from a major state highway project on Elliott Street and High Street where those main thoroughfares intersect with Route 128. On using motels as emergency shelters for…

The Annual Town Election is May 7. Here's a look at the candidates who will be on the ballot.
When voters hit the polls May 7 for the Town Election, they'll have to decide contested races on the Board of Selectmen and the Housing Authority. Selectmen Keith Lucy and Dan Bennett are both up for re-election and face a challenge for one of their seats from retired judge David Mills. Mills, reports the Salem News, is a former prosecutor and Danvers Town Moderator and spent 25 years as a Town Meeting member. He was first appointed as a judge in 2001. Lucy, an electrical engineer, is finishing up his third three-year term on the board and is currently second in seniority to Selectman Michael Powers. Bennett, who unsuccessfully challenged state Rep. Ted Speliotis again in November, is looking to win a third term on the board. He works as a…

Selectman Keith Lucy has been charged with assault in connection to an incident at Town Hall last September.
The attorney representing a Danvers Selectman facing an assault charge says his next move will be to ask a judge to dismiss the charges. Keith Lucy, a member of the Danvers Board of Selectmen, is facing a charge of assault after an alleged altercation in Danvers Town Hall on primary election night on Sept. 6. The alleged victim, John Fratus of Appleton Street, sought the charge himself and it was not handled by police. He went to court and after a magistrate's hearing it was found there was probable cause to go forward. Fratus said he was in Town Hall looking at results on election night when Lucy allegedly stepped in front of his wife, Frances, and resident Julie Curtis. “He was red in the face and looked angry,” Fratus wrote in a …

Keith Lucy, a member of the Danvers Board of Selectmen, will be arraigned on Tuesday in Salem District Court on an assault charge.
A member of the Danvers Board of Selectmen is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday on assault charges in connection with an incident at Town Hall on Election Day in September. Keith G. Lucy, 47, of 7 Ashley Lane faces a single count of assault after the incident on Sept. 6, the day of the primary election. The charges were not filed by police but instead by a citizen, who sought a hearing in front of a Salem District Court magistrate. That magistrate, who heard the complaint from Town Meeting member John Fratus of Appleton Street in a hearing closed to the public, found there was probable cause to issue a criminal complaint against Lucy. He was then issued a summons on Oct. 25 to appear at an arraignment on Tuesday. The assault charge is a …

Guess who is up for re-election in May. Do you think he will drag on and postpone, and postpone until after the election? Don't worry Mr. Lucy, we will make sure friends and neighbors are well aware of your history. This is a DA indictment. A criminal matter. You owe it to the Citizens of Danvers to resign now. more ›
