Man charged with possession of an illegal spark plug

True, spark plugs are not normally considered contraband - unless you allegedly use one to try to break into a car, as a West Roxbury man learned in the South End last night.
Jonathan Holcomb, 34, was charged with breaking and entering a motor vehicle and possession of a burglarious tool - the spark plug - after a witness spotted him using the metal object to try to break the window of a car on Appleton Street near Clarendon around 11:30 p.m., police report.
This is not Holcomb's first arrest for an attempted car break-in.
Innocent, etc.

Irony or coincidence
Seeing as how the spark plug was part of South End history and all.
What...?!
I can't carry around Sparkplugs if I think I might need one?
Damn you people to hell. I wan't my Sparkplugs I need my Sparkplugs.
Farking Nanny State anyways...
I blame the Citizen's Connect
They didn't respond to his complaint about the font for Appleton St so he felt the need to lash out.
If they took the spark plug from him...
...then watt is he going to be charged with? Battery? I refuse to believe he is guilty. If he's not guilty, then wire the cops amped up about his actions? I wouldn't be shocked to find out they claim he resisted arrest too. There's always an alternative version.
