D-4 Police News
Cashing out
On Wednesday, May 4, at around 2:41 p.m., police responded to a radio call for a robbery at Soodee, a women’s boutique at 170 Newbury St.
There, they spoke with the store’s owner, who said a male suspect, described as approximately 6-feet, 1-inch and 25 to 30 years old, came into the store accompanied by a female. He approached the counter and demanded money from an employee.
After the suspect said he wouldn’t hurt her if she complied, the employee handed $89 in the register over to him. The suspect and his accomplice then fled in an unknown direction.
The manager told police he would provide them with security footage of the robbery.
Officer searched the area for the suspects to no avail.
Not the golden ticket
On Friday, May 6, at approximately 8:30 p.m., an officer working the front desk at District 4 headquarters took a walk-in report from the female victim for an assault and battery that occurred at 562 Tremont St.
The victim, who works as a parking enforcement officer for the Boston Transportation Department, said she was attempting to place a citation on a brown 2015 Cadillac SRX at around 7:38 p.m., when two males approached her.
The first suspect, described as a male between 60 and 70 years old wearing a khaki-colored Member’s Only jacket, a green flowery shirt and khaki pants, shoved the victim’s right shoulder.
A moment later, the second suspect, described as a male between 65 and 70 years old and around 5-feet, 1-inch tall, shoved the victim, brushing her right breast with his hand. During the assault, a pair of purple sunglasses also fell from the victim’s pocket to the ground and were damaged.
Both suspect then got into the vehicle and fled in an unknown direction.
At the station, the victim showed no signs of injury and declined medical attention.
Wardrobe malfunction
On Sunday, May 8, at around 12:48 a.m., police responded to 15 Germaine St. for a report of a loud party.
On arrival, officers could see and hear signs of a party on the first floor of the building. They knocked on the apartment’s door and spoke with the suspect, who told them she lived there. The officers informed the suspect and her roommate that they had received multiple complaints about a loud party, and that they would have to ask their guests to leave. The suspect repeatedly asked officers who had made the complaints and became annoyed when they refused to answer the question.
“We’ll just turn it down, and you can leave,” the suspect said in a confrontational manner. “Oh, and could you tell the trash people to stop giving us violations for our garbage?”
Police informed the suspect they worked for the Boston Police Department, not employees of the city’s Public Works Department. One officer told the suspect that police had received multiple complaints about their household in recent months, and that he had personally responded to her address for complaints in the past.
When the suspect and her roommate told officers they couldn’t enter the apartment, police told them that they would be subject to a court complaint and a city ordinance if they didn’t shut the party down.
One officer attempted to gain entry into the apartment to ask guests to leave, at which time the suspect put her hand on his chest to stop his forward motion. The officer instructed the suspect that she was assaulting him, and to remove her hand.
The officer then opened the door and set no more than a few paces inside before observing beer, bottles of alcohol and red cups strewn about the apartment. He informed the guests that the party was over, and it was time to leave.
As the officer exited the apartment, the suspect again became confrontational and said, “Are you going to write me a ticket? Can we just hurry this up, so you can leave?”
Meanwhile, none of the guests made an effort to depart, and police again told them to leave the premises. Officers then instructed the suspect and her roommate that they would be subject to arrest if their guests didn’t leave.
“Arrest me,” the suspect said as she extended her arms.
Officers complied with her wishes, placing her under arrest and transporting her to District 4 headquarters for booking.
Upon arriving at the station, police opened the back of the squad car and observed that the suspect’s shirt had fallen off her shoulders, exposing her bra. She asked officers to fix her shirt for her, but they refused. One officer then removed his jacket to cover the suspect.
Inside the station, the suspect was allowed to fix her shirt prior to being charged with assault and battery on a police officer and disturbing the peace. She and her roommate were also mailed a city ordinance for “disturbing the peace/noise.”
Dropped evidence
On Saturday, May 7, at around 6:45 p.m., officers from the Area D-4 Drug Unit were monitoring the area around the Boston Medical Center, where police have made numerous drug arrests.
Police observed the first suspect standing at the corner of Massachusetts Avenue and Albany Street as several people approached the suspect, and briefly interacted with him before walking away.
A second suspect then approached the first suspect outside of Cumberland Farms, and the two spoke. Police watched as the second suspect handed currency to the first before both men secreted themselves in a large group of people. The first suspect removed something from the back of his pants and handed it to the second suspect, before they went in separate directions.
Police followed the suspect to the corner of Albany and Northampton streets and identified themselves. When asked if he had met with anyone recently, the suspect replied that he meets with a lot of people.
Police described the apparent transaction with they witnessed and asked the suspect if he was in possession of any drugs.
“Search me,” the suspect replied as he placed his left hand behind his back.
When officers asked him to open his hand up, he did, revealing a plastic bag of what appeared to be cocaine. Police seized the drugs and read the suspect his rights. He told officers that he had purchased the drugs for $13 from the “kid with the ponytail at the store.”
Police entered the Cumberland Farms, placed the first suspect under arrest and seized a plastic, police seized an orange prescription bottle containing 14 pills and $13 from him. An additional $298 cash was also seized from the suspect. At the station, the first suspect became visibly agitated during the booking process, and police asked if he had any more drugs on him. The suspect then reached down the back of his pants and threw a napkin to the ground. Inside was a plastic bag containing four smaller bags of what appeared to be cocaine, which was seized as evidence
