An Everett man accused of robbing an elderly woman in Foxboro is free after posting bail in Wrentham District Court.
Sonny George was free to go after posting $4,500 cash bail after his arraignment according to the Sun Chronicle. He was charged with breaking and entering and larceny from a person 60 or older.
The prosecution in the case requested a $10,000 cash bail, arguing that George has a history of arrests across multiple states and has been charged with larceny from a person 60 or older in the past.
George’s lawyer, Kevin Reddington said in court that the prosecution has a “difficult case to prove.”
According to police, George went to the home of the elderly victim and told her he was a contractor installing a fence on a neighboring property. When he took the victim to the backyard to show her where the fictitious fence was going to be placed, a second person entered the house and took a large sum of cash and jewelry. George left after receiving a call on his cell phone he said he had to answer.
Police arrested George on Aug. 9 after a warrant was put out for his arrest on the previous day.
According to court records, George and a second man are also under investigation for similar incidents in Arlington, Boston Cambridge, Lynn, Dedham, and Rockland.
