Police: Hyde Park teen nabbed with a gun near scene of recent double shooting in the South End
Boston Police report gang-unit officers patrolling the area of Shawmut Avenue where two people were shot Tuesday night spotted a bunch of guys "known to police" in the playground at San Juan and W. Newton streets around 6 p.m. yesterday:
At the sight of police presence, two males immediately broke away from the larger group, one making several hand movements to his waistband as if checking the security of a firearm. Officers exited their cruiser and walked over to speak with the two males. Due to their observations and their knowledge of the area and the subjects, officers performed a pat frisk for their safety. The officer felt what he knew to be a firearm in the waistband of one of the males and recovered an unloaded revolver without markings indicating its make or model.
A Hyde Park resident, 16, was arrested for illegal possession of a firearm.
Mwase Potts, 25, was also arrested, for being a disorderly person after becoming "belligerent, yelling at the officers and making a scene causing a large crowd of onlookers to gather in the street," police say.
Innocent, etc.

Potts was first arrested as
So it seems that 9-10 years later he got out and right back to offending. The 4-5 year gun charge must have been concurrent.
Thanks, BPD.
