Three women charged as aggro Downtown Crossing stompers
Boston Police report arresting women from Malden and East Boston outside the 7-Eleven on Tremont Street downtown early this morning after they allegedly wreaked havoc inside the store and then went outside to stomp a man unfortunate enough to ask them if they might have a smoke.
According to police, Audrina May Hebert, 18, and Brianna Romero, 21, both of Malden, and Jenna Gonzalez, 21, of East Boston, were asked to leave the store around 1 a.m. after allegedly just hanging out inside for an extended period of time - when not outside "fighting and harassing" passersby. Offended at being asked to leave, the three "returned to the store multiple times, throwing merchandise and assaulting [clerks and a random woman]," police say.
Once outside for good, they responded to a man's request for a cigarette by beating him to the ground and then continuing to punch and kick him - as one of them stole his phone - police say.
"Upon observing officers, the females eventually stopped their assault on the victim" - and one eventually owned up to taking his phone, police say.
The three were charged with two counts of assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon, unarmed robbery and disorderly conduct, police say, adding that Romero was also charged with possession of a Class B substance for the small plastic bag containing "a substance believed to be cocaine" found on her during booking.
Innocent, etc.

Downtown Crossing is a tough place to run a store
From the mayhem at Macy's to daily battles at 7-11 and Burger King added to the shoplifting problems at other shops the Crossing is at a crossroads.
Tremont Street Addicts
The Tremont Street chapter of Opiate Addicts, Inc. have overrun that 7-11 and have been a menacing presence there for some time now. I have noticed the addicts that swarm that store are more aggressive and violent than the ones that swarm the Haymarket Dunkin Donuts.
But we have so many DD
We can definitely spare one store for those suffering from mental health, housing and addiction issues.
7-Elevens still sell...
... cigarettes. Part of the problem.
And lottery tickets...
Lottery tickets, another part of the problem.
Huh?
Huh? What does this mean?
Cigarettes and lottery are
Cigarettes and lottery are probably the only things that keep it afloat
