Groveland Man To Face Charges In Incident Where Black Woman Was Followed
BOSTON (CBS) – Police announced that a 65-year-old man is facing charges after an incident during which a Black woman said she was followed and harassed. The woman captured part of the exchange on cell phone video.
The woman, who WBZ-TV is not identifying, told police she was on Juniper Terrace Monday afternoon to pick up some free dog food she learned about on a community Facebook page.
When the woman began to drive home, she said a man followed her in his car for several minutes, so she pulled onto a side street.
Another resident saw the exchange between the man, who is White, and the woman, and asked him to leave.

The man will be summonsed to Haverhill District Court at a later date for a Clerk Magistrate's hearing.
