WORCESTER — In a highly emotional sentencing hearing at which one man was ejected from the courtroom and the defendant refused to comply with the terms of her sentencing conditions, a Worcester District Court judge sentenced a follower of the Church of the End Times to one year supervised probation for assaulting an Uxbridge police officer.
Samantha Drury, 19, of Woonsocket, R.I., was found guilty last month of assaulting an Uxbridge police officer during an altercation at the 41 Murphy’s Way home of the church leader and his estranged wife on Oct. 2.
Judge Michael L. Fabbri sentenced Ms. Drury to one year supervised probation, and then issued a list of conditions that included finding a job within 30 days, perform 50 hours of community service in an agency related to public safety, and submit a written letter of apology to the Uxbridge Police Department.
Upon hearing that last condition, Ms. Drury jumped to her feet.
“He attacked me!” she said, refusing to write a letter of apology. “You can arrest me now. He owes me an apology.”
