Massachusetts State Police investigating assault of driver on Route 140 | ABC6
FREETOWN, Mass. (WLNE) — Massachusetts State Police said that troopers are investigating an assault on a motorist that occurred on Route 140 on May 9.
State police said the victim stopped on the side of the road around 10 p.m. to check a mechanical issue on their vehicle when another car pulled up behind him and two individuals exited.
The suspects then pointed a gun at the man, robbed him of his wallet and a lockbox from the vehicle, and struck him before leaving.
Troopers are actively investigating the incident.

Mass. State Police recruitment Instagram account posts explicit song with video of high school trip
BOSTON – The I-Team uncovered a posting on a Massachusetts State Police Instagram account that used a song with racial slurs and talked about guns.
The video shows troopers from the Massachusetts State Police recruitment unit with students from Southeastern Regional Vocational Technical High School. The caption says they were on a trip to New York City. The rapper Ja Rule’s song “New York” is playing in the background.
The song’s lyrics include racial slurs and references to guns, drugs and killing. Released in 2004 it charted on the Billboard Hot 100. Parts of the song were featured on MATROOPER, an official recruiting Instagram account of the Massachusetts State Police.
The account says, “You can be a part of an elite organization. Join the Mass State Police family”
The posting was taken down and replaced with another one using the same video but with a song called “Summertime” by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince.
The video caption says the trip was on Thursday and gave students interested in a career in criminal justice the opportunity to spend time with troopers and go out with the NYPD’s marine unit.
State Police says song “not appropriately vetted”
In a statement Mass State Police told the I-Team:
“On Thursday, May 10, 2024, the Massachusetts State Police Instagram account shared a video to raise awareness about a community program designed to strengthen connections between youth and the MSP. The background song accompanying the video was not appropriately vetted before it was posted. After learning of the error, the Department immediately removed the post, and we apologize for sharing audio with offensive language.”
The I-Team also reached out to Southeastern Regional Vocational Technical High School for comment, but we did not hear back.

Massachusetts company sues Vicente Sederberg over failed deal contract
Massachusetts-based Northempton Enterprises is suing Vicente, a law firm that specializes in cannabis, over a failed deal contract.
Northempton said it hired Vicente in 2022 to advise on a deal to sell its cannabis business to a company only identified as XYZ LLC. An asset purchase agreement was signed and then amended for a reduced price of $3.2 million. Northempton claims in the complaint that the amended contract should have included language that said if the deal didn’t close, XYZ would have to pay them for the legal fees and other damages. Instead, it only covered the legal fees.
The complaint stated that in the original agreement, there was such a clause. However, when the price changed, the language only addressed the legal fees and no other potential losses.
Northempton says it noticed the difference and brought the issue up to Vicente lawyer Sahar Ayinehsazian, who told them, “The agreement allows for more than just liquidated damages, so language under the amendment still allows for all other types of damages. While I am happy to change the language, I would urge you to communicate with buyer before doing so, as the attorneys’ fees piece of this agreement has been one of the cornerstone pieces of the overall agreement.”
The company’s complaint didn’t blame Vicente for the failed deal, but it did say it lost money as a result of the failed deal that it wasn’t able to claw back from the XYZ company due to the poor wording of the contract.
The complaint stated that during the deal talks, the seller’s market became a buyer’s market and the value of its business fell by $1 million. They said that they had to wind down its inventory, which caused the company to lose $60,000 a month in sales for 10 months, or $600,000. The attorney fees were $80,000.
Northempton claims to have suffered damages of $4.8 million, which they allege could have collected from the buyer if the original clause had carried over to the amended contract.
The complaint claims that the poorly drafted liquidation damages provision by Vicente was disastrous for the company and they want a jury trial.
