Our law-enforcement figures were successful in rounding up escape artists of all sorts, including a cow. That's right – not only did police have to deal with a man attempting a daring courthouse escape, but on Sunday morning some other officers had to round up a cow on the loose in Upton.
We desperately wanted to title the post "Boston Blotter: Raging Bull," but no such luck. The loose animal was female. And she was angry. Although WCVB wrote, "The cow is fat, and sometimes moves slowly," Big Bessie still had enough rage in her to butt heads with a cruiser.
In more serious fugitive news, one of the most wanted criminals in Massachusetts got caught yesterday in New Hampshire. He made the most-wanted list because he allegedly stole from churches. You can insert your own pun about this guy facing a higher authority.
The BPD offers some advice on manners. A guy was walking around making a ruckus in Charlestown. The police decided to speak with him, and his mother had to make excuses for him, saying, "He's out of control when he drinks too much." The officers told him to settle down, and he retorted with an expletive. The police arrested the perp for a disorderly. He's listed as being only 18, which kinda makes Bostonist wonder why his mom was letting him drink in the first place …
Underage drinking is one thing, but getting plastered to the point of disorderly in front of your momma is kinda sad.
Last, in case you noticed the transportation interruption around Harvard Square, someone jumped in front of a train at the Harvard T stop last night. In a miracle, the man survived with only head injuries.
