JP arsonist arrested, but probably not the one setting the tire fires

Because unlike the tire guy, this dude started by smashing bottles on some woman's porch on Woodlawn Street, police say. He left after the resident called police to complain about some drunk breaking bottles on her porch and sidewalk, but first he took the time to set her recycling bin on fire, police say. Boston Police tracked him down to the Forest Hills T stop, where MBTA cops were already holding him for allegedly spitting at a T worker.

Robert Coveney, 48, of North Quincy, was charged with arson and destruction of personal property.

Innocent, etc.

Via e-mail, I heard from somebody who lives in the house the guy is charged with chucking bottles at:

The guy actually tried to light our siding on fire last may, so I guess it's an annual thing for him. The DA said he was being held on $500 bail and that there's a stay away order against him for our homes. he's one of our local nuts, but unlike the other nuts, this guy is violent when drunk.

As a witness to the whole scene, I can say that the BPD and T cops did a great job getting this guy.
