DA drops charges against Beverly lobsterman
A Beverly lobsterman is off the hook on charges that he caught more than 100 illegal lobsters. The Essex District Attorney’s Office has dropped a nearly two-year criminal case against Timothy Birarelli, of Beverly, according to his attorneys. Birarelli was accused by the Massachusetts Environmental Police on Dec. 9, 2020, of catching 103 lobsters that were either too short, too long, or otherwise violated state lobstering regulations. A spokesman for the Essex District Attorney’s Office said the case was dismissed due to insufficient evidence. >click to read< 08:57
