A Boston man was charged last week in connection with breaking into Trillium Brewing Company\u2019s Fenway location less than three weeks after completing a prison sentence for convictions on similar charges, the Suffolk County District Attorney\u2019s Office announced Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Michael Dias, 46, is facing breaking and entering during the nighttime, malicious destruction of property over $1,200, larceny from a building and common and notorious thief charges, the district attorney\u2019s office said in a press release<\/a>.<\/p>\n On July 3, Boston police responded to a report of a break-in at Trillium\u2019s Fenway location around 3:40 a.m., the district attorney\u2019s office said. Officers spoke with a security guard, who reported that, while making his rounds, he discovered that the brewery\u2019s front door had been smashed. <\/p>\n Officers noticed that Trillium\u2019s front door was shattered and that a large rock was on the floor of the bar, the district attorney\u2019s office said. They also found what appeared to be blood droplets on the bar top, cash register and floor and sent samples to the crime lab for analysis. <\/p>\n Security video from a nearby business shows a man \u2014 who was later identified as Dias \u2014 repeatedly throwing a rock through Trillium\u2019s front door and kicking the glass until he is able to enter through the broken door, the district attorney\u2019s office said. Once inside the brewery, he can be seen taking the cash register off the counter and smashing it on the ground. The video then shows Dias leaning over the bar top in the area where the blood droplets were found before leaving through the smashed door. <\/p>\n Dias was previously convicted in connection with a pattern of break-ins in 2019 and 2020 during which he broke into businesses by throwing a rock through their front doors and stole cash by smashing their cash registers, the district attorney\u2019s office said. He pleaded guilty to charges in those cases in September 2020 and received a seven-year prison sentence. Dias ultimately spent five years in prison and was released on June 17. <\/p>\n \u201cIt is always our hope that incarcerated individuals keep their lives moving forward when they reenter society. The facts here indicate that this person reverted, very quickly, to the behavior that sent him to prison in the first place,\u201d Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden said in the release.<\/p>\n A Roxbury District Court judge released Dias on personal recognizance bail and ordered him to stay away from Trillium\u2019s Fenway location during his arraignment on the new charges, the district attorney\u2019s office said. He is due back in court on Sept. 25.<\/p>\n If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
