Barrington teen placed on home confinement

A Barrington teen was back in court Friday for a bail hearing. Ryan Greenberg was recently accused of drinking alcohol, which would violate the terms of his bail on a murder charge.

At the time of the alleged incident, Greenberg was out on bail. Greenberg faces second-degree murder charges in the death of Barrington teenager Patrick Murphy.

Special Magistrate Joseph A. Keough ruled that Greenberg can go home under a strict set of conditions with the posting of $10,000 cash bail.

Greenberg is accused of killing 17-year-old Patrick Murphy in a boating incident that involved alcohol last summer.

Greenberg violated the terms of his bail when the police found him and seven other underage Barrington residents at a local pond with beer and liquor on April 19.

Greenberg is only allowed to leave his house for medical, legal, educational or religious purposes. He has a strict 8 p.m. curfew under any condition.

William Devereaux, Greenberg’s attorney, said that Greenberg would be taken to the ACI to be fitted for an electronic bracelet.
