Boston Blotter: Another Sofa Surfer

half-baked-guy.jpg--Is that a blanket? Is that a pillow? No, it's some random dude sleeping on your sofa! A woman in Hyannis found a stranger sleeping on her couch. He says he thought he was in his sister's house. He was charged with breaking and entering.

--More details have emerged about the weekend crash that killed theMark frontman Paul Farris. Javier Morales, the driver who attempted to evade police, was driving with a suspended license at the time of the crash.

Here's what Mayor Joseph Curtatone had to say: "The primary responsibility rests with Mr. Morales. When you are notified to stop, it is your legal responsibility to stop. But residents are genuinely concerned that there was a high-speed pursuit in the most densely populated community in New England."

--Not everyone had a peaceful long weekend. Someone got shot in Jamaica Plain. Someone was stabbed at Ditmus Court last night, and a child was bitten by a dog on Tremont Street yesterday afternoon. All involved in these incidents are fine.

--In more minor news, after a Natick flag-burner set some flags hung by vets alight, two 13-year-olds threw eggs at a Memorial Day parade in Rockland. They've been charged with disorderly conduct and assault with a dangerous weapon. We think it's a bit of a stretch to call eggs "dangerous weapons," but these two kids are about to have a very boring summer full of community service.

We're reusing a beloved image of Steven Wright napping on the sofa from Infinite Coolness.
