US Attorney: Bedford Man Arrested and Charged with Kidnapping

February 7, 2019 by John Guilfoil

The following is a press release from the Department of Justice: United States Attorney Andrew E. Lelling/District of Massachusetts

BOSTON – A Bedford, Mass., man was arrested late last night on a federal arrest warrant in Key West, Fla., and charged in connection with a kidnapping that began in Concord, Mass., and ended in Connecticut.

Julian Field, 24, was charged with one count of kidnapping and will appear in federal court in Key West, Fla., on Friday, Feb. 8, 2019. Field will be brought to Massachusetts at a later date.

According to court documents, 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. 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 of Lelling’s Criminal Division is prosecuting the case.

The details contained in the charging documents are allegations. The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
