Charges against Springfield home invasion suspects dropped

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WGGB/WSHM) - To an update on a story we first brought you back in February. We now know the charges against two women accused of holding two brothers hostage inside their own apartment in Springfield have been dropped.

Shareem Brown and Megan DiGregorio, both 33, stood accused of letting 7 strangers into the apartment to sell drugs during the incident. However — their attorneys argued one of the brothers forced brown into sex work, took her money, and used the apartment for his own gain.

The Hampden District Attorney’s Office released a statement on the matter, saying that there was concerns with witness testimony, and the Commonwealth was no longer able to prosecute.
