Alleged Southie punk with knife no match for woman with pepper spray
By adamg on Wed, 01/06/2010 - 10:59am
District C-6 reports that when a woman was approached at Dorchester and Telegraph streets around noon yesterday by a guy with "a large knife" who demanded her purse, she "sprayed the suspect in the face with OC spray, causing the suspect to drop the knife and flee."
Police say they are now looking for Joseph Pano, described as a white male, 28, between 5'8" and 5'10", wearing a black hat, black pants and maroon jacket. And possibly with red eyes.
Innocent, etc.

Crime/Drugs
The two stories about the robbery/attempted robbery are typical of what has been going on around here for the past few years. The neighborhood is awash with dope. Junkies hard up for money to purchase dope will resort to anything to get that money.
Drugs are the leading reason for the rash of burglaries we had a few months back. Sadly, there are very long waiting lists for beds in recovery programs. This leaves these people to continue committing crimes to support their drug habits.
