DA: Hyde Park mom threatened prosecutor at son’s arraignment
A Hyde Park woman is charged with threatening the prosecutor at her son’s arraignment.
“Watch your back,” Felicia Rodriguez allegedly said during her son’s arraignment at municipal court in West Roxbury, a statement which prosecutors say was captured on the court’s audio recording system.
The judge overseeing the arraignment, Judge Kathleen Coffey, ordered court officers to take Rodriguez into custody, according to the Suffolk District Attorney’s office.
Rodriguez, 46, now faces charges of intimidating a court official, threats to commit a crime and civil rights violation.
Judge Vanessa Velez set a $200 bail at Rodriguez’s court appearance Thursday. Rodriguez is due back in court on Dec. 19.
“Anyone who thinks they can threaten a prosecutor, a judge or any other court official without consequences is very much mistaken,” Suffolk DA Kevin Hayden said in an emailed statement. “We will not tolerate such threats in any shape or form.”
