# What should I do if I am accused of assault in New Bedford?

Do not give a statement to police beyond identifying information. Do not contact the alleged victim. Comply fully with any restraining order in effect. Save all paperwork from the arrest. Note the arraignment date on the summons. Call Rory Munns at 401-573-2265 before the arraignment.
