Final tally last night: Five people arrested - four of them out of towners

Alleged pride of EastieEastie ladAll five were arraigned today in Boston Municipal Court, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports.

The one local was Christopher Prader, 20, of East Boston, who was charged with inciting a riot, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest after his arrest before the Bruins game had even ended - around 9:30 p.m. at Causeway and Beverly streets.

According to the DA's office, Prader began loudly declaring he wasn't a punk and daring police to arrest him. When they refused, he began cursing them out, took his shirt off and threw his belt at them, prosecutors say:

"Come and get me, you [expletive]," he allegedly said to the officers. Turning to a large crowd, he allegedly said, "They ain't [expletive]."

The DA's office says police gave Prader one last chance to cut things out:

Prader is said to have encouraged the crowd to turn on the police, defied instructions to contain himself or face arrest, and flailed his arms around while bumping into other, more peaceful revelers.

Police at that point moved in to arrest Prader, who allegedly struggled and kicked as they handcuffed him on the ground. Once at the District D-4 station, Prader allegedly hurled a wide variety of racist, homophobic, and misogynistic slurs at other officers in the booking area before attempting to flex his muscles and extend his middle finger at the booking photo camera.

His bail was set at $500.

Also arrested: Justin Jerackas, 22, of Chester, NH and Michael Trwari, 28, and Brandon Zagarella, 18, both of Andover, on five counts of malicious destruction of property. Police say the three busied themselves on Endicott Street in the North End around 12:40 a.m. by breaking off the side mirrors of parked cars. They were released on their own recognizance, but ordered to stay away from the Garden and the North End until their cases are resolved.

Trevor Legere, 20, of Swampscott, was charged with assault and battery on a public employee around 1 a.m. The DA's office says Legere initially sought help from police near Sudbury and Cambridge streets after he'd been hit in the face:

The officer began to walk Legere to the nearby District A-1 station to write a report and provide first aid when Legere allegedly became suddenly combative. The officer explained that he was trying to help Legere, but to no avail: Legere allegedly shouted profanity at him and shoved him twice. The officer then arrested him and brought him to A-1 anyway.

He was also released on his own recognizance.

Innocent, etc.

. . . it was a very well managed night of revelry. Hats off to BPD in crowd control and management. Very professional.

Yeah, I was actually really impressed with the restraint they displayed downtown. Things weren't too hectic, beyond the horn-blaring and general revelry in the streets, but you never really know when the police department is going to decide to Make A Stand.

Part of it may have just been the numerical superiority they had. Walking toward the financial district right after the game, I was passed by a procession of easily 30+ police motorcycles in a convoy, headed up Atlantic Ave toward North Station. There were half a dozen helicopters circling overhead, and 2 police cars on most corners. State Street was completely cordoned off, with half a dozen uniformed officers outside. I guess that was enough to act as a deterrent to casual rioting...

- I saw that motorcycle convoy as well. Crowds were happy and vibrant but in no way ugly.

I'm fairly positive only one of the helicopters belonged to the police.

There were some kids running through the Christian Science reflecting pool, a couple beer cans on the ground, and horns blaring.

In Cambridge, more car horns and whoopin' & hollerin'.

I too am impressed with how well we behaved, especially relative to Vancouverites.

All kids in East Boston get East Boston High as their school unless they specifically choose another school. From the BPS website:

Because of East Boston's unique geographic location on the other side of the tunnel, any student who lives in East Boston (EB) is guaranteed a seat somewhere in the neighborhood. This applies to students in all grades and programs, K2–grade 12. To take advantage of this guarantee, families must list their EB choices higher on the application than their non-EB choices.

Thank you, I did not know that.

I'm suprised Allston/Brighton or Charlestown/Southie hasn't tried to use similar reasoning.

I'm betting from where he was beating his head against a window in the booking room at A-1.

It's much clearer in the larger booking photo the DA's office sent over, as is his Moe Howard haircut, but, blecch, no, I didn't want to run it full size.

. . . the head banging against the wall in the station. That's always a charmer move.

The guy has antisocial personality disorder. Pretty much a textbook case of it.

Funny, my grad school didn't teach about how to diagnose people from reading a quick text clip of a few hours of their behavior.

Lots of reasons someone could have acted like that.

The highlight of the post party was when the crowd tried to tip over the MBTA's civil disobedience bus driven by John Candy and Bill Murray only to be rescued by the Boston Police
