City Crime Logs: Handicrack

The following reports were taken from the Boston Police Department crime blog from Oct. 27 to Nov. 3.

Officers driving on Dixwell Street on Tuesday at about 2:15 p.m. witnessed a car parked in a handicap parking spot with no handicap license plate or placard. When they approached the vehicle to write a citation the officers noticed that the car was running with two passengers who said the driver had “just run upstairs for a second.” While speaking to them, the officers noticed the smell of marijuana. Soon after the driver, who appeared visibly nervous, ran out from the house and tried to get into the front seat of the car. The officers decided to frisk him and a knife was recovered. The other two passengers were told to exit the car and were asked if there was any marijuana in the car. One of the suspects confessed he had some in the front pocket of a sweater and upon further investigation of the car, the police found a large bag with nine separate bags of a white rock-like substance and another bag filled with more marijuana. The suspects were arrested for trafficking and possession with the intent to distribute within 1000 feet of a school zone, conspiracy to violate drug laws and unlawfully carrying a dangerous weapon.

Never piss off, or on, the police

Officers pulling into a police station on 40 Sudbury St. witnessed a man urinating on a police car at 3 a.m on Sunday. When the officers asked the suspect if he knew he was urinating in public and on a police car, the suspect laughed and said, “Yes. I urinated on the police car because it was funny.” The officers, who lacked a sense of humor about the situation, arrested the man and charged him with indecent exposure.

a drug

After receiving a radio call saying that a white man with a bushy beard was breaking car windshields near the intersection of Fordham Road and Commonwealth Avenue at about 1:50 a.m., officers went to investigate. When the officers arrived they saw a man who fit the description drinking alcohol from an open container. Upon approaching, the suspect ran away, forcing them to chase him. The chase lasted briefly before the police caught the man and arrested him for drinking in public. No broken windshields were found.

Did you go as a convict this Halloween?

Officers responded to a complaint of a loud party at 5 Darling St. on Sunday at about 1:20 in the morning. Upon arriving at the apartment the officers heard loud music and saw party guests on a 2nd floor balcony. They attempted to gain entry into the house, but no one answered the door even though the officers rang the doorbell and knocked on the door multiple times. After the officers finally got inside, they found the residents of the apartment and charged them with being keepers of a disorderly house.
