A dangerousness hearing was held on Thursday for a man charged in connection with an assault and racist tirade against an Asian family in Quincy.
The charges stem from an incident that occurred on December 2 where 77-year-old John Sullivan allegedly struck an Asian man with his car and told him to “go back to China,” while threatening the rest of the man’s family.
The Norfolk County District Attorney’s Office says that Sullivan was found to be a dangerous person, but was released to home confinement, except for court or medical appointments, and was ordered subject to GPS monitoring.
He also was ordered to provide $10,000 personal surety before being released.
Sullivan also entered a plea of not guilty to the additional charge of Assault and Battery to Intimidate based on the victim’s race/color/religion/national origin/sexual orientation/disability.
Sullivan will be back in court on February 10 for a pre-trial conference.
