Jared Ravizza has been indicted by a Plymouth County grand jury for assault charges stemming from an alleged stabbing at a Plymouth rest stop.
The 26-year-old man with ties to the Vineyard was indicted on Sept. 6 on two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, one count of assault to murder, and one count of indecent exposure, according to a press release from the Plymouth County District Attorney’s Office. Ravizza allegedly attacked two McDonald’s employees with a kitchen knife.
The indictment raises Ravizza’s case to Plymouth Superior Court, although an arraignment date has not been set yet. Beth Stone, Plymouth District Attorney’s Office spokesperson, told The Times the suspect is still being held at Plymouth House of Corrections.
Ravizza, meanwhile, has several other ongoing court cases in Massachusetts related to a string of alleged violent crimes in May. At Quincy District Court, Ravizza is facing four counts of assault to murder, and one count of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. This stems from when he allegedly stabbed four girls at a Braintree AMC movie theater, hours before the Plymouth attacks. His next Quincy court date is on Sept. 19, for a status review hearing.
Ravizza also has an arraignment date of Sept. 12 in Edgartown District Court, a rescheduling of his July 22 arraignment. He was charged with misdemeanor assault and battery on a family/household member, as well as a property vandalism felony charge stemming from an incident in West Tisbury. The incident, which he was arrested for in April, involved assaulting his father and damaging his West Tisbury family home.
Meanwhile, Connecticut State Police named Ravizza as the suspect in the murder of 70-year-old Bruce Feldman in Deep River, a town located in the southern part of the state. According to a Braintree Police report, the two men were roommates in Deep River before Ravizza allegedly stabbed Feldman to death.
A Connecticut State Police spokesperson told The Times that since Ravizza is held in custody and subject to ongoing criminal proceedings, the suspect is unlikely to be extradited to Connecticut until the Massachusetts courts cases are concluded.
Ravizza’s alleged rampage started in Connecticut, and ended with a car crash in Sandwich, where he was subsequently arrested by Massachusetts State Police. All of the attacks Ravizza is accused of having committed, except for the West Tisbury incident, occurred on May 25.
When Warley Neto was arrested the anti-foreigner crowd exclaimed loudly about “illegals.”
Why?
Because he was an immigrant who was here illegally and charged with child rape. Anti illegal immigration is not anti foreigner. People tend not to like child rapists, even more than they dislike being told how to trash our oceans and how to spend money they do not have on rich people’s enviro woke toys. The liberal left’s distorted agenda and hypocrisy are tiresome— and so predictably unoriginal and intolerant of opinions unlike theirs.
Mary–
This guy committed a serious crime and should be
prosecuted to the full extent and deported directly to jail
in his country of origin.
But fearful people need scapegoats for their problems
Foreigners have always been a convenient and easy target.
Them and people of other religious beliefs.
An orange “elite” person and his cronies have spent nearly a decade
stoking some of the innate fear we all have. Some people refuse to believe that
immigrants commit fewer violent crimes than native born citizens,
so they have to yell louder and focus harder anytime a foreigner commits
a heinous crime. It reinforces their inaccurate and indefensible assumptions.
I am sure that most of the real xenophobes are good people, but I suppose that
some of them are just outright racists.
Ms Hansen please stop. No one is anti foreigner. Some of us are against unbridled illegal immigration and the paucity of vetting. This country became great from immigration. Illegal uncontrolled porous borders cause unintended consequences. Surely you understand that. If you don’t, then you lose credibility for your passion on solar and windmills and intolerance of oil companies.
Andrew, I also have an intolerance for racism. Whether you know it or not, the white supremacy groups are actively trying to recruit. White supremacy groups are happy with any advancement of hate in the world toward non-whites. All this talk about “illegal immigration” is merely another example of white supremacy showing its ugly side.
Immigrants are human beings with the same needs as any other human. They work, they buy groceries, they put their kids in soccer, and they buy/rent a home—just like you and me.
Ok Mary let’s allows 1000 Zulus on to MV because of all these needs they have that you mention. It is not racist to vet people who desire to live here. I know I can’t convince you of that.
NO ONE said we shouldn’t have border controls.
Oh yes, if there are 1,000 Zulus who meet our immigration requirements and want to be here, they are welcome on Martha’s Vineyard.
This country became great from immigration by people like you.
When you came how did we know that you would be one of the good one’s?
What in your background was deserving of a visa?
Did any pubic funds go into your education?
The US has always had a porous borders.
We are the land of the free.
Did you immigrate by ship?
Sail by they Statue of liberty.
Did you read the inscription.
“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
Meaningless piffle?
Like the Quran and the the New Testament?
The Old Testament is Gods’ honest truth. . .
