Boston Police report a man who'd just cashed in a $10 winning ticket at Morris and Brooks streets in East Boston shortly after 8:30 p.m. yesterday was jumped by a man and woman:
The victim initially thought it was a friend and attempted to turn around, when he was met with resistance and the female suspect who was wielding a pair of scissors. The male suspect then directed the suspect to give up his wallet. A struggle ensued during which the victim yelled for help and he and the two suspects fell to the ground. A good Samaritan came along and grabbed the male suspect off of the victim, at which time he fled and the victim detained the female suspect.
Steven M. O'Brien, 27, and Jannell Smith, 23, both of East Boston, both arrested.
Innocent, etc.

Sage advice
Yeah, he sure is an unsavory character. We were rushing to get to the Chowderfest, so I was short on thyme and never even realized what I was pasting in from BPDNews; I certainly didn't look to see what other capers he'd racked up. I see now he hasn't exactly curried favor with the local constabulary; in fact, they seem to consider him a real chive turkey.
Savory history
Mr. Savory in the news before, looks like he's got a history:
