PatriotsChristian Barmore Arraignment Moved to March in Domestic Assault Case

A judge granted the defense’s request for additional preparation time, with prosecutors not opposing the move.

Overview

  • An Attleboro District Court judge rescheduled the arraignment from Feb. 3 to March 9 after a Friday motion by attorney David E. Meier, which the prosecution did not oppose.
  • Barmore is charged with one misdemeanor count of assault and battery on a household or family member tied to an Aug. 8 incident in Mansfield, court records show.
  • A police report alleges he threw a woman to the floor, grabbed her by the shirt near her neck, and took her phone during a dispute that began over the apartment’s air-conditioning setting.
  • According to filings, the woman delayed reporting out of fear, pursued charges on Sept. 9, and later sent police a Dec. 4 email stating she did not want to proceed.
  • The Patriots said they were aware at the time and informed the NFL, and teammate Stefon Diggs also had an arraignment postponed until after the Super Bowl.
