BOSTON – A Bedford man pleaded guilty in federal court in
Boston in connection with a kidnapping that began in Concord, Mass., and ended
in Connecticut.
Julian Field, 24, pleaded guilty to one count of kidnapping
before U.S. Senior District Court Judge Douglas P. Woodlock who scheduled
sentencing for March 3, 2020. In February 2019, Field was charged and arrested
in Key West, Fla.
On the evening of Feb. 3, 2019, Field broke into the home of
a Concord resident and forced the victim to drive him to a train station in
Connecticut, first stopping in Springfield, Mass., to attempt to procure
illegal drugs. Field ultimately allowed the victim to leave and authorities
subsequently tracked Field to Florida, where he was arrested.
The charge of kidnapping provides for a sentence of up to
life in prison, up to five years of supervised release and a fine of $250,000.
Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S.
Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
United States Attorney Andrew E. Lelling; Joseph R.
Bonavolonta, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
Boston Field Division; Concord Police Chief Joseph O’Connor; and Bedford Police
Chief Robert Bongiorno made the announcement today. FBI Miami and the Monroe
County (FL) Sheriff’s Office provided valuable assistance with the
investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Anne Paruti with Lelling’s Criminal
Division is prosecuting the case.
