Everett man held on $50K bail for allegedly crashing moped into trooper during July 4th gathering

REVERE, Mass. — Deshakraaun Abdullahmuhammud shook his head during his arraignment on Monday after being held on bail for his alleged role in a chaotic gathering on the Fourth of July.

The gathering resulted in a Massachusetts State Police trooper being struck and injured by a moped, allegedly driven by the Abdullahmuhammud.

Abdullahmuhammud, 34, of Everett, was subsequently charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, negligent operation and failure to stop for police.

A Chelsea District Court judge ordered Abdullahmuhammud to be held on $50,000 bail.

Outside of court on Monday, Abdullahmuhammud’s father supported his son while speaking, off camera, with Boston 25 News.

“My son is a good guy,” he said. “He’s a present Dad, full time Dad, he works. I think he wanted to let his head down one particular time and he got caught up in a situation which was unfortunate, but he’s a good guy.”

Man arraigned after allegedly crashing moped into trooper during July 4th gathering at Revere Beach

Authorities responded to hundreds of people in the Thornton Street area who they say posed a threat to public safety and set off illegal fireworks on Friday.

Massachusetts State Police say at one point, a moped drove through the crowd and hit a trooper, who is expected to be okay.

Less than two weeks ago, in a separate incident, another trooper was seriously hurt in a hit-and-run at Revere Beach. That trooper is still in critical condition.

Abdullahmuhammud is scheduled to be back in court on Aug. 7.
