David Holding v. Andrew Lauria

On May 4, 2012, Mr. Holding was loud while visiting a friend who lived next door to Defendant Lauria. When Mr. Holding returned to his friend’s house the next afternoon, Defendant Lauria was waiting for him. Defendant Lauria was on duty in his marked Revere police car wearing his police uniform. Defendant Lauria went up to Mr. Holding and, without provocation, punched, kicked, and cursed at Mr. Holding. Defendant Lauria fractured the bone at base of Mr. Holding’s right thumb and bruised Mr. Holding’s right shoulder, upper back, and left eye. Mr. Holding had a large lump on the back of his head. Mr. Holding was not arrested nor was he charged with a crime.
