Video Shows Attack on Former Fall River Mayor
Coree Gonzales, 31, faces charges for stabbing former Fall River mayor and assaulting officers after an incident linked to mental health issues, police said.
- On Tuesday, Corree Gonzales, 31, was ordered held without bail in Fall River District Court pending a mental health evaluation Wednesday morning after arraignment.
- At around 5 p.m. Monday, officers found Will Flanagan, former mayor and CEO of Cosmopolitan Dispensary at 82 Hartwell St., suffering significant stab wounds on Hartwell Street.
- Surveillance video near the dispensary helped investigators identify Corree Gonzales, who was arrested after an extensive search and allegedly assaulted four police officers, facing assault and battery charges.
- Flanagan remains hospitalized in serious but stable condition following the attack, and Current Fall River Mayor Paul Coogan called it apparently unprovoked while praising officers.
