Legal Question in Criminal Law in Massachusetts

Assault & Battery and theft

I was the victim of physical assault

and battery and theft and was told

by the police that it is not an

arrestable offense because it's a case

of he said he said. Could you please

refer me to the statute re. this law?

FYI, I did not require medical care

and my belongings were returned.

I am not sure why, but you can also go to the clerk's office where the offenses occurred, and file an application for a criminal complaint.

If you have questions, contact me.
