A 22-year-old man is facing burglary charges in Attleboro after police say he walked into a house inhabited by a woman and her four children, the Sun Chronicle reported.
Hasaan Beazer, of Randolph, was ordered held without bail on Tuesday. He pleaded not guilty to unarmed burglary charges and also has a pending case that accused him of accosting a woman.
Under Massachusetts Law (Chapter 266 Section 15) unarmed burglary is punishable by 5 to 20 years in prison. The law requires that the incident occur at night and that their by an intent to commit a felony. An Attleboro criminal defense lawyer may argue lack of criminal intent to commit a felony in this case. Given the unusual circumstances of the news report, an Attleboro criminal defense lawyer may have a defense of lack of intent to commit a felony. This could result in the charge being reduced from a felony burglary charge to a lesser misdemeanor offense.
The suspect reportedly told the woman he was looking for someone before leaving the house. The woman's 19-year-old daughter told police he had followed her home earlier in the day. He was arrested about 10:30 p.m. when spotted by an officer walking in the area of Maple and George streets.
His attorney says he was talking to two teenagers before their mother came out and told him to leave. He is due back in court on Sept. 30.
