Boston Blotter: Not-So-Whiz Kid

--Yesterday's Northeastern blotter item on the guy who used his roomie's closet as a urinal just opened the floodgates, so to speak. The BPD has posted the following hilarious headline: "Whiz Kid Arrested in East Boston." But the whiz kid wasn't so bright. He decided to empty his bladder in the middle of the street outside the Eclipse Tavern. He puts the "gross" in the charge of "open and gross lewdness."

--After getting into a fight with a woman over a South End parking spot, keying her car, and driving off, a man decided to relax by pulling over and rolling himself a blunt. But the time it took to roll said blunt gave officers plenty of time to catch up to him and get him on two charges – pot and keying of aforementioned car.

--A pit bull in Roxbury bit a five-year-old girl on the face. The Herald reported that the little girl was in the dog owner's home when she tried to pet the pit bull's young puppies, and the pit bull retaliated. The dog has been quarantined and may even be put to sleep. The owner was crying, and, based on the report, it seems that the owner was responsible and told the girl not to touch the dog, but childhood curiosity prevailed.

--Some boneheads tossed concrete chunks off an overpass in Lowell. Usually, in these kinds of stories, no one gets hurt, but drivers get pissed off thinking about what could have happened. This time, someone did in fact get hurt and had to have glass washed out of his eyes. Police are lookin' for teenagers.

--Elsewhere, 18-year-old Jacques Sellers was shot to death in a house in Hyannis last night. The gunshot came from outside the house, and the Cape Cod DA is saying it was deliberate.

All charges alleged until proven under law. Image of the much smarter "Whiz Kids," from the old TV show, from Wikipedia.
