Boston Blotter: No Fare!

A dead body turned up in Dorchester yesterday afternoon. While they hadn't confirmed it as of this posting, the BPD thinks the body may be that of Warren Daniel Hairston, whose family had reported him missing.

The Coast Guard is searching for a missing boat and the four fishermen on board in Nantucket Sound. The "Lady of Grace" didn't arrive when expected, all communications with the boat dried up, and the Coast Guard found an oil slick. The boat had troubles three weeks earlier.

In the good news department, police rounded up seven suspected drug dealers.

As for less serious blotter news, the young'uns were partying so hearty in Allston Friday night that the police arrived. Imagine what aliens might say when stumbling upon a college party, and you'd have the BPD report: "On arrival officers could hear loud music emanating from the first floor." Bostonist loves it when the BPD uses the word "emanate."

Right after the Allston Party Report, the next blotter entry had the title "Cabbie Cries No Fare"! Seriously - whoever writes the BPD reports deserves a special commendation or should be writing headlines for the Herald.

That title says it all. Two cabbies got into a brouhaha Friday night by the Hilton on Broad Street, and the BPD wrapped it up for you in a tidy little package.
