Boston Blotter: Stevens and Berdvosky Are Free Men

--Sean Stevens and Peter Berdvosky can breathe a sigh of relief now that they are officially off the blotter with a slap on the wrist. The artists who were hired by the Cartoon Network and Interference, Inc., to hang the Mooninites throughout Boston will do community service.

Instead of offering the public another '70s hair comedy routine, the two had more substantial things to say this time around. The Herald quoted Stevens as saying, "I had no intention of upsetting or alarming anyone."

They have already performed their service at the Spaulding Rehabilitation Center. Now, instead of dealing with Stevens and Berdvosky, Attorney General Martha Coakley can focus on Spykes, those suspicious alcoholic beverages that might attract the kiddies. (Just curious: Is there a dearth of crime out there, or what?)

--An officer at the South Bay House of Corrections was arrested for being an enabler. He was selling heroin and cocaine to inmates. Talk about taking advantage of a captive audience.

--In Grafton, a man walked into a police station yesterday morning and confessed that he killed his wife. Sure enough, a dead body was in the house. Only now he's saying he's not guilty, and he's being held without bail.

--A raccoon attacked a supermarket shopper in Worcester. Animal Control killed the raccoon, and it turns out that it tested positive for rabies.

--Some young men robbed a person and tried to get away – on bicycles. That was probably one of the easier jobs the BPD has had to deal with. Elsewhere, some people were out on Fairmount Street drinking in public. That seemed simple enough, but they really racked up the violations when the BPD discovered that some of them were underage and some of them were packing heat.

--Good news, governor Deval Patrick is giving us money for 70 more cops! Now let's recruit 'em all before Scottsdale, Arizona, does!

--And more good news. See, the blotter really does have good news to offer! Thanks to an anonymous tipper, a stolen plaque that honored a Massachusetts victim of 9/11 has been recovered. The tipper called the Falmouth Enterprise, and the plaque was returned in a pizza box.

All charges alleged until proven under law. And we can't get enough of that screengrab of Berdvosky in his prime, "discussing '70s hair." Good times, good times.
