Man Indicted On Home Invasion: Framingham Grand Jury Indictments

FRAMINGHAM, MA—Middlesex County District Attorney Marian Ryan announced Thursday the grand jury indictments from March 15 to April 17.

Two Framingham-related cases were included:

Cleodson Darocha, 24, of Framingham, was charged with home invasion, armed assault with intent to murder a person over the age of 60, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, assault with a dangerous weapon, possession of a shotgun, discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a building, and reckless endangerment of a child. The Assistant District Attorney is Margaret Pastuszak.

Darocha reportedly had his child in the back seat of his car when police surrounded it to arrest him, so he allegedly rammed his car into an unmarked cruiser, reports MetroWest Daily News. Darocha was spotted in a lot on Worcester Road on surveillance, police suspecting him in the home invasion listed above. After he hit the police cruiser, he was arrested.

On Dec. 14 just before 2 a.m., two men barged into 48 Phelps Road, one intruder pointing a gun at the tenant. The tenant was shot in the arm with birdshot, after which the intruders ran. Darosha pleaded not guilty at the arraignment. Read the report from MetroWest Daily News.

The second Framingham indictment announced by the Middlesex DA is that of Timothy Harlow, 59, of Framingham, who was charged with attempted unarmed robbery. The Assistant District Attorney is Mary F.P. O’Neill.
