Arrests
June 13, 2:17 p.m.: An employee at Sasaki Associates on Pleasant Street called 911 after an uninvited man was acting strangely inside the business. The man was seen walking around inside Sasaki’s offices and when he was confronted he became belligerent and used racial slurs. He then left and headed down the nearby Charles River Walk. An employee got a photo of the man and police were able to locate him on Pleasant Street near Howard Street. They found the man had eight warrants for his arrest. The 59-year-old Roxbury man was arrested on the warrants: three were from Brookline District Court — one for credit card fraud, one for receiving a stolen credit card and one for possession of a Class B drug; two from Brighton District Court — one for trespassing and one for receiving an improper credit card; one from Cambridge District Court for larceny from a building; and two from Roxbury District Court — one for failure to register as a sex offender and one for receiving a stolen credit card.
June 15, 2:49 a.m.: An officer spotted a vehicle idling on Summer Street at the corner of Mt. Auburn Street and the light went through an entire cycle but the vehicle did not move. The driver’s head could be seen slouched down, so police checked on the man. They shone a flashlight in the vehicle and banged on the window but the man would not wake up. An officer opened the passenger door, put the vehicle in park and removed the key. Then police were able to wake the man, who had an odor of alcohol on his breath. He was asked to get out of the car to perform field sobriety tests, but the driver refused. He became more agitated and began to swear at officers. The 36-year-old Watertown man was arrested on a charge of driving under the influence of alcohol.
