LYNN – A judge ordered a dangerousness hearing for a city man who allegedly hit two 11-year-old boys with an aluminum baseball bat.Although the hearing requires the defendant be held without bail, the man walked out of the courtroom minutes later, ordered not to leave his home except during a medical emergency affecting his epileptic wife.”All of our children are away in the military ? we don’t hang out with people,” the defendant said when asked by the judge if any relatives, friends or neighbors could care for his wife while he was held awaiting a dangerousness hearing.Scott Thompson, 50, of 27 Clarendon Ave. #3, was arrested and charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, two counts; at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday.He was arraigned Thursday in Lynn District Court where a plea of not guilty was entered on his behalf.Essex Assistant District Attorney Justin Edwards said police responded to the Hood School at approximately 7 p.m. Wednesday where they met with a group of boys and parents.The young men said they were playing baseball when a man in a ski mask came outside and “approached them in an aggressive manner,” shouting at them, Edwards said.The first alleged victim, an 11-year-old boy, said he had a bat in his hands and held it up, scared as the man approached, according to police.”The defendant grabbed a hold of the bat and wrestled it away from him, and the butt end of bat struck this juvenile in his head,” Edwards said. Thompson also swung bat at [the first alleged victim’s] friend, striking him in the ribs.”The alleged victims, as well as two other boys who were also playing baseball, confirmed the alleged victims’ stories and told police the man returned to his home on Clarendon Avenue, Edwards said. He said one boy told police he knew the man, who had graying hair and no teeth.The youths all positively identified Thompson as the man who attacked them in the park, according to court documents. The boys told police they think Thompson thought they were being loud, Edwards said.He requested Thompson be held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing. Edwards requested a continuance for the hearing, as the commonwealth had only interviewed one of the parents of the alleged victim.Public defender Mary Teczar said Thompson adamantly denied the charges and his ill wife would testify that Thompson never left their home that evening.”They’re saying the person has a mask on so I don’t know how they identify this as my client,” Teczar said.Judge Mary McCabe ruled probable cause for a dangerousness hearing and ordered Thompson held without bail until the hearing on Oct. 15.But Thompson – whom McCabe advised to speak through his attorney when he tried to speak during the proceedings – then told the court his wife was epileptic and had recently had a seizure. His wife was also out of work Thursday because she felt the symptoms of another seizure, Thompson said.McCabe asked several questions about Thompson’s wife’s condition, and Teczar requested conditions of release including GPS monitoring.McCabe then said she found probable cause for the arrest and ordered Thompson to remain in his home, unless a medical emergency occurred, pending a dangerousness hearing scheduled for Oct. 17.There were looks of confusion as the court clerk asked for clarification. Edwards stated an objection to the release and then requested the commonwealth reserve its right to argue bail at the dangerousness hearing and the court officers hesitated before removing Thompson’s handcuffs.”Our understanding is that if probable cause is found for a dangerous hearing, the defendant must be held,” Carrie Kimball-Monahan, a spokesperson for District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett’s office, said Thursday afternoon. She noted the defendant was “released over our strenuous objection.”A spokesperson for the Massachusetts Trial Court could not comment on an open case Thursday evening.Thompson declined to comment on the record as he walked out of the courthouse and t
