Tenant withdraws complaint against boxer Manfredo

JOHNSTON – The tenant who accused boxer Peter Manfredo Jr. of throwing a rock through his truck window has withdrawn his vandalism complaint with the local police.

Gary Burley did so on Monday, and Manfredo has written a personal check for $125 to Altieri Glass in Johnston to fix the window, Deputy Police Chief Gary W. Maddocks Jr. said today.

The incident, in which Manfredo was charged with misdemeanor vandalism/malicious injury to property, must still proceed through the court system since the police have already formally charged Manfredo, Maddocks said. The next court date is set for July 18 in third division district court, Warwick.

“Officially, we have to wait until it goes through the court system, but typically in the past, the court will accept a complaint withdrawal – and as long as he made restitution and the parties have resolved the incident, I can’t see why the case would not be dismissed by a District Court judge,” Maddocks said.

Manfredo, the boxer from Providence who was runner-up in the first season of the reality show The Contender, was arrested July 2 after a dispute at the home he owns over unpaid rent by Burley, according to the Johnston police.

Maddocks said today that he doesn’t know if the rent has been paid – or if a window broken at the home has been repaired yet.
