Boston Blotter: A Celtic Lost in Yonkers

It's rare when we get to cross into Matt Taibbi turf, but Celtic Sebastian Telfair's gun-and-speeding charge allows us to do so. The Redux has already pointed out that Telfair didn't get the memo when he was busted for packing heat in 2006.

Shira Springer points out that Telfair's latest incident in Yonkers is his "third brush with [the] law in 14 months." If only Telfair put the same amount of time in his basketball game as he did in guns and Louis Vuitton clothes!

Telfair either better start polishing up his behavior or looking for a new job because when the Celtics get their hot new draft pick, he is out of here.

--Today, the Herald dove headfirst into the lewd and salacious with a story about a female middle-school teacher who was allegedly "grooming" her students for sex. Donna S. Giguere went to court yesterday in Worcester for having sex with her foster child.

--In a hit-and-run incident, someone plowed into an 81-year-old homeless man who was heading toward the Pine Street Inn. This individual then ran off after leaving his bloody victim behind. "Herbert" went to the hospital and should be okay.

--Haverhill police are trying to nab a creep who has snuck into homes in the middle of the night, assaulting women while holding a knife to their throats. The Globe has a police sketch of the offender.

WBZ describes the offender as "a dark-skinned man between the ages of 30 and 40-years old. He has a muscular build and may be bald with piercing near his eyes. He is described as having a Spanish accent and breath that smells of alcohol."

--It was a busy day for the Blotter. After the cocaine bust that went down over there, Somerville's Good Times Emporium got some more bad news. A man was shot to death after leaving the Emporium early this morning. WCVB reports, "[The victim's] friends told police they were driving home from the Good Times Emporium when a van with multiple men inside stopped ahead of them and fired shots into the car." One suspect has already been rounded up.

--And one last note: If you are trying to file a complaint at Boston Police Headquarters, you probably won't be taken seriously if you flip out and pull the fire alarm in the building. That kind of stuff makes the police angry.
