ATTLEBORO, Mass. (AP) — A Rhode Island man has been accused of knocking a 6-year-old girl out of his way when she tried to help him pick up tokens he dropped at a Chuck E. Cheese in Massachusetts.
Police say 53-year-old Daniel Lafayette, of North Smithfield, told them the girl was trying to steal his tokens at the Attleboro restaurant last week.
Police say the mother of the girl told them she was trying to help Lafayette pick up the tokens when he kicked her on Saturday.
Lafayette pleaded not guilty to an assault and battery charge on Monday. He was freed on $500 cash bail.
