MBTA Transit Police report arresting a homeless man for exposing himself to an E trolley driver at Longwood last night after being asked to pay his fare.

According to a police report, Derek John Agresti, 40, initially responded to being asked to pay for his ride around 8 p.m. by swearing at the driver and threatening to beat him up. The report says Agresti then got off the train, walked a short distance, stopped, pulled down his shorts and grabbed his penis with both hands in view of the driver.

Agresti was arrested at the Ruggles stop on the Orange Line about 15 minutes later and charged with open and gross lewdness.

Innocent, etc.

I'm in a bit of a quandary. MGL 90-1b states in part that all moped drivers:

...shall be subject to the traffic laws and regulations of the commonwealth and the regulations contained in this section, except that: (1) the motorized bicycle operator may keep to the right when passing a motor vehicle which is moving in the travel lane of the way...

Why did the turkey hail a cab?

Cabbie's first fare in new hybrid cab turns out to be bank robber who reeked of booze.

Sonia reports from the scene:

It looked like a shooting or something, and the street was impossible to drive down. ... The police looked happy & were joking with each other, which made it look not-so-serious ... but the number of police and all that CSI stuff made it look serious.

And they had the light, too
