Cops: T driver lost roll of the dice on bus-shooting story

By adamg on Thu, 04/30/2009 - 8:49am

A T bus driver is due in Chelsea District Court for arraignment this morning on charges she filed a false police report related to the way her bus got shot up in 2007, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports. Nancy Parker, 51, of Burlington, originally told police a man boarded her bus and opened fire. Transit Police now say a former lover shot up the bus in a dispute over debts.

Innocent, etc.

Window drama at the Hancock

By adamg on Wed, 04/29/2009 - 9:52pm

Jen Stewart reports that when she and some coworkers were having dinner at Skipjack's tonight, they noticed Clarendon Street in front of the Hancock tower was being blocked off by police with sawhorses and police tape. Then they looked up and saw what looked like a window-washing platform about two-thirds of the way up. Could it be loose windows?
