Lucy's Attorney to Seek Dismissal of Assault Charge

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.

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 ›
