Grand Jury indicts Malden man DIESEL TRUCK STOP in September Holbrook incident Advocate Staff Report OUR OFFICE HAS MOVED TO 519 BROADWAY, EVERETT SABATINO INSURANCE AGENCY 519 BROADWAY EVERETT, MA 02149 PHONE: (617) 387-7466 FAX: (617) 381-9186 Visit us online at: Rocco Longo, Owner WWW.SABATINO-INS.COM A Norfolk County grand jury has indicted a Malden man as an armed career criminal in addition to gun, drug and assault charges stemming from a September incident at a Holbrook car repair shop. Brian Enwonwu, 28, is alleged to have escalated a discussion about his car, which was undergoing repairs, to displaying multiple fi rearms and threatening bodily harm, according to documents on fi le in Norfolk Superior Court. The Grand Jury issued eight indictments on December 7, 2022: carrying a fi rearm without a license, possession of a fi rearm in commission of a felony, possession of ammunition, defacing a fi rearm’s serial number, assault with a dangerous weapon, possession with intent to distribute a class B drug, threats and being an armed career criminal. The initial altercation, including the alleged threats and display of firearms, occurred on September 1, 2022, which prompted Holbrook Police to alert other area police departments and activate a regional response team in the repair shop locale. The following day, Randolph Police on routine patrol spotted Enwonwu as he passed through Randolph traveling in the direction of Holbrook and stopped his vehicle a short distance from the repair shop. Enwonwu was arrested while allegedly carrying an unlicensed fi rearm, cocaine and ammunition. He entered a plea of not guilty at his Quincy District Court arraignment in September and he has been in custody since that time. These indictments transfer the matter to Norfolk Superior Court; superior court arraignment date has been set for Jan. 6, 2023. work is on exhibit at the Malden Public Library in two areas: “About Face,” a collection of paintings, is in the main hallway, and in the display case in the Main Reading Room is “Tiny But Mighty,” a collection of small works on paper. Sears described the “About Face” exhibit: “What we reveal or conceal is shown in body language – through our hands, gestures and posture – but much more can be learned by observing the face. Even as we choose, to a large degree, what we wish to share with others, in relaxed or distracted moments a truer state is exposed in our facial expressions. With these paintings I wanted to move beyond mere surface to concentrate on the subjects’ internal experience and feelings.” Her original paintings and drawings are for sale at The Gallery@57 (57 Pleasant St., Malden), and she is on the shop’s Fine Arts Committee.
