Michael Schoener, 40, pleaded not guilty to a charge of accessory before the fact of kidnapping. He was held on $5,000 cash bail and ordered to be placed on a GPS tracking bracelet if he is released, Norfolk District Attorney Michael W. Morrissey said in a statement.
Schoener was indicted for his role in the mysterious disappearance of James Robertson, an Avon man who vanished on New Year’s Day.
James Feeney, 44, has already been charged with kidnapping Robertson and is behind bars on $500,000 bail, authorities said.
Prosecutors said Schoener gave Feeney, the kidnapping plot’s mastermind, a photograph of Robertson, a printout of Robertson’s criminal record, as well as his police badge, handcuffs and an empty pistol holster.
“Robertson, who was on probation, was last seen on January 1, 2014, when two individuals posing as constables came to his home in Avon and kidnapped him under the guise of Robertson having to be drug tested by probation,” Morrissey said in a statement. Robertson has not been seen “since that January 1, 2014, encounter and is presumed dead.”
