--Next time you think about getting a free pizza by holding up your delivery guy, think again. On Sunday night, the BPD followed a Domino's Pizza guy from South Boston to a Dorchester address that was known for robbing pizza guys. Upon delivery, a man emerged to get his pizza and pulled a firearm from his waistband. Police sprang out and caught the pizza-nabber and his accomplice.
We send propers to Universal Hub for an excellent headline relating to this incident: "Boston Police Take a Slice Out of Crime."
--After a BPD phone dispatcher allegedly stabbed her husband to death on her birthday, a Hub police lieutenant is also allegedly involved in a domestic violence dispute. David C.Murphy, a member of the department for 21 years, may have punched his girlfriend in the face and busted her lip during a visit to Baltimore. Internal Affairs is investigating.
It sounds like an ugly mix of beer, baseball, and Baltimore. Murphy and the girlfriend were in town for a Red Sox-Orioles game, and they got in a fight in a pub. The girlfriend is calling it a "misunderstanding."
--Usually, Bostonist writes about the kind of cocaine you can get arrested for consuming. But Cocaine, the spicy drink with the controversial name that Bostonist reviewed a while back, has been removed from store shelves. It seems to be much ado about nothing because you have to have a truly low IQ to think you'll get the same buzz from a beverage as you would from a certain white powder. The company plans to market the peppery beverage under another name.
--In the department of sleaze, a 19-year-old is accused of, in the words of the Herald, "pimping herself" in her own mother's Brookline daycare business. The daughter was advertising "erotic massages" on craigslist. That's one-stop shopping gone horribly wrong.
--A teenager must've wanted to go on the fast-track to the pokey in Roxbury yesterday afternoon. During school hours, a group of kids were "congregating and playing loud music." Unfortunately, the BPD didn't appreciate said "congregating" and dispersed the group.
One 15-year-old member of the group was so distressed by such an uncool encounter with "The Man" that he shouted, "I hate you #!%$ pigs!” The police responded by arresting him.
--The BPD jazzed up an otherwise unremarkable story of a woman shoplifting meat at America's Food Basket in Hyde Park with the headline "Where's the Beef?"

Seriously - if your 19 year old daughter is living at home AND has neck tattoos: get suspicious.
