An Attleboro man was charged with a Massachusetts assault and battery, the Sun Chronicle reported. Michael S. Casale, 39, of Coral Road, pleaded not guilty during his arraignment Monday in Attleboro District Court to Massachusetts assault and battery, threatening to commit a crime and two counts of assault to murder.
The police allege that the defendant put a plastic bag over the woman's face during an argument Saturday morning as she attempted to end the relationship, according to police. After convincing him she would not leave, they went to bed together. However, the defendant had the bag in bed and threatened to use it whenever she tried to move.
About 2 a.m., the victim's daughter drove her to the police station, where she reported the incident. Police arrested the defendant that day without incident and the judge ordered him held on $50,000 cash bail following arraignment. The assistant district attorney had requested bail be set at $100,000. The defendant is also prohibited from having any contact with the alleged victim.
