Man arrested for playing Christmas music too early

Yes, there is justice in this world! Boston Police report officers went to 5 Shepton Terrace in South Boston around 4 a.m. on Saturday in response to 911 calls about loud music:

As officers approached the location in question, officers could hear Christmas music being played at an unnecessarily loud level. When the tenant answered the door, officers instructed him to lower the music due to calls made to 9-1-1. Officers further advised the tenant that people were having difficulty sleeping due the loud Christmas music. With the music turned down, officers left the location. However, a short time later, officers were called back to the same address for the same reason (noise complaint). Upon arrival, officers were able to hear the loud Christmas music. When officers knocked on the door, the tenant answered the door and began swearing at the officers.

At which point officers arrested Kevin Foley, 54, on a charge of disturbing the peace.

Mayor Menino, captured here on Nov. 8 by 16WadeSt reading a Christmas story at the Downtown Crossing Macy's, could not be reached for comment.

Innocent, etc.
