Somerville Man Gets Time Served For Assaulting Federal Officers

SOMERVILLE, MA — A Somerville man was sentenced Friday in federal court for assaulting federal officers, according to the U.S. Attorney's office. Jessi Tombari, 34, pleaded guilty in November to assaulting two officers outside a Boston courthouse last year.

Authorities said on April 23, 2018, a man, later identified as Tombari, approached a uniformed Federal Protective Service officer outside the Moakley Federal Courthouse in Boston and asked if he had a weapon.

Tombari then tried taking the weapon from the officer, and an altercation ensued, according to the USAO. A deputy U.S. Marshal on patrol intervened and eventually the two officers placed Tombari into custody.

Tombari was sentenced to time served, one year of supervised release and 150 hours of community service.
