The Dorchester man accused of shooting a Boston Police officer in the chest near Franklin Park last night was ordered held pending a dangerousness hearing scheduled for later this month.
Avery Lewis, 31, of Dorchester, appeared Tuesday morning in Dorchester District Court to be arraigned on a slew of charges related to an incident in the 9 o’clock hour last night that sent one BPD officer to the hospital.
Lewis had a plea of not guilty entered on his behalf to 10 charges, including armed assault to murder, assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon, assault and battery on a police officer, resisting arrest and trafficking cocaine — as well as several related firearms charges, which were listed as second offenses in the reading.
The judge ordered him held pending a dangerousness hearing scheduled for March 29.
