A criminal case involving a city councilman and a Medford media blogger was thrown out of Cambridge District Court.

A criminal suit brought forward by the Medford Police Department, following alleged harassment and intimidation of Medford City Council president Rick Caraviello that occurred after an incident at City Hall in the summer of 2015, was thrown out of Cambridge District Court on Jan. 31 when a judge decided that the prosecution did not have a legitimate case.
The incident that sparked the judiciary action happened in 2015 at Medford City Hall when Joe Viglione, a Medford resident and media blogger, alleged that he got into a physical altercation with Medford City Clerk, Ed Finn. Medford police investigated the incident, interviewed Caraviello, and determined the case to be closed with no action to be taken.
