Hopkinton MA Police Charge Man, 70, After Fight at Lake Maspenock
- On Wednesday, Hopkinton police arrested 70-year-old Steven Dana after a violent dispute over lake access at Sandy Beach on Lake Maspenock, taking him into custody at his residence shortly after the incident.
- Police allege Dana confronted the 21-year-old man for using the Lake Maspenock boat ramp despite not being a Hopkinton resident, violating restrictions that limit access to town residents from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
- Video footage captured Dana slapping the victim and holding him underwater during a struggle; bystanders intervened to pull Dana away. The victim, who used crutches due to recent "severe injuries," declined medical treatment.
- Hopkinton Deputy Police Chief Scott van Raalten condemned the act as "senseless violence," urging residents to contact authorities regarding bylaw enforcement rather than "taking matters into their own hands" at town facilities.
- Dana faces charges including attempted murder, two counts of strangulation, and assault and battery on a disabled person, pending his Thursday, June 4, arraignment at Framingham District Court.
