The following reports were taken from Allston-Brighton’s District 14 crime logs from Nov. 10 to Nov. 20.
At approximately 9:45 p.m. Nov. 10, as part of a joint investigation with the Federal Bureau Investigation and the Immigration Custom Enforcement, an undercover officer entered 49 Pratt St. to expose a house cited for “prostitution and operating an unlicensed massage parlor.”
The suspect had closed a brothel at 41 Gardner St. after an armed robbery had occurred at the home in February 2005.
After placing a call to the residential phone number, the undercover police officer asked the unknown male, “Are there any girls around tonight?” The man asked him how many he wanted, to which he responded, “I only need one girl.”
At 10:15 p.m., the officer entered the house on Pratt Street through the rear entrance. He was led to the kitchen by an unknown Asian male who brought him to another room, where seven men were playing a game of Mahjong while three Asian women sat on opposite couches.
The man told the officer to “go pick” one of the girls. The officer chose a 5-foot-2-inch 100-pound woman, whom the man led by the hand upstairs with the officer to a room with only a nightstand and a mattress. The man gave them three bath towels.
The officer asked the 26-year-old woman how much money she wanted. She asked for $113 — $80 of which was to be given to the men of the house. The officer then received a phone call and told the woman, who went by “Edna,” that he had an emergency at work and he would return soon.
The officer met with detectives who identified the man as the one they had been tracking.
When the officer returned to the site, he was let in by another male. He saw “Edna” and told the men that he wanted two girls instead. He took “Edna” and another girl, “Cindy,” upstairs, where he was told he would have to pay separately for each girl.
The Boston Police then entered the house and arrested the women and men for offering “sex for a fee.”
Red Hot Pepper Spray
At about 11:36 a.m. Nov. 20, an officer responded to a call at the Edison Middle School on Glenmont Street. He saw several students standing outside, where they were being treated by EMS and officers for exposure to pepper spray in the building.
Officers approached and questioned a 15-year-old who released the pepper spray in the school. He told the officers that he threw the pepper spray into a backyard near the school, but when they asked him to retrieve it, he said he could not find it.
Officers found the spray in the bushes on Tremont Street. The suspect later told officers he found the spray when he was at Stop ‘ Shop with his mother, but “didn’t mean for it to go off.”
He was placed under arrest and charged with delinquent to wit, disturbing the peace, unlawful possession of pepper spray and disturbing a school assembly.
The students were transported to the local hospital for treatment for the chemical agent effects.
All banged up
At approximately 4:25 p.m. Nov. 18, an officer entered the Cumberland Farms store on Chestnut Hill Avenue in Brighton, where he observed a victim with a large bandage on his forehead.
When the officer asked what happened to him, the victim told Officer Everett he and three of his friends were leaving a party on Pratt Street on Friday night at 1:30 a.m. when they were approached by approximately 10 intoxicated white males between 18 and 25 years old.
When one of the males started to attack one of his friends, the victim said he attempted to pull him off, and the group punched and kicked him in the body and face until he lost consciousness.
The victim’s friends brought him to the Beth Israel Hospital emergency room, but he did not report the incident to the police. When asked why he did not report it, he said he did not know what to do.
