Arrested: Alleged armed robber in Dorchester, alleged dumbass in West Roxbury

Boston Police report arresting a Roxbury man on charges he held up some people walking to the Marriott off the Southeast Expressway at gunpoint around 9 p.m. last night. A surveillance camera at the nearby Target helped police identify and arrest the guy.

Down in West Roxbury, police arrested a local man following an accident shortly after midnight today:

On arrival, officers spoke to the operator who reported to officers that he was traveling down Wren St. towards Rutledge St. when he lost control, and struck a parked and unattended car causing his car to roll over. The operator then told officers that he had no license and that he had stolen the car keys from his mother. Further check via Mobile Data Terminal (computer in police cruiser) revealed that the operator's license was revoked, and that he had several six outstanding warrants. The passenger in the suspect car was transported to the hospital with minor injuries while he refused medical attention.

Finally, back up in Dorchester, police say a dude "known to them" started running away when he spotted them - and eventually tossed away a gun. They lost sight of him, so they staked out his house and, sure enough, he showed up there three hours later. Arrested.

Innocent until proven guilty.
