charges

The 27-year-old man who driving a dirt bike that crashed head-on into a vehicle on Glen Charlie Road last week is now facing criminal charges.

The former Durfee High basketball star and longtime Fall River media personality has been charged with two counts of rape and one charge of indecent assault.

An Acushnet man pleaded guilty yesterday in federal court in Boston to conspiracy to distribute fentanyl and illegal firearm possession.

New Bedford Police are seeking charges against two juveniles in connection with an incident at Bristol Community College that prompted a hazmat response.

Fall River Mayor Jaisel Correia told the media last night, 'There's no proof, there's no evidence,' referring to the FBI's case against him.

The Dartmouth Police Officer accused of raping a child with force was found dangerous, but released on certain conditions on Monday.

A repeat drug dealer from New Bedford has been sentenced to prison.

Correia on WBSM's Barry Richard Show: 'My job is being stolen away from me. So for people to expect me to just take it, I'm not going to allow that to happen.'

Jasiel Correia will have to seek out another source of funding after a ruling that says he cannot use a legal defense fund to fight the federal charges he faces.

In spite of the federal charges facing its mayor, Fall River should be proud of itself.
