When police officers asked Brian C. Chuckran, 28, of Brockton, what he was doing inside 16 Rockne Ave. in Dorchester around 2:20 this morning, he reportedly replied that a kindly black man let him in after he'd been attacked by a gang of white supremacists.

The occupants of the house, however, told police the first they knew about Chuckran was when they were awoken by the sound of him walking around their bedroom. Noting this discrepancy, plus the busted front-door lock and splintered door frame, officers arrested Chuckran on a charge of breaking and entering in the nighttime.

Innocent, etc.
