Boston Blotter: Hottie Dogs

072007_hot_dog.jpg--Some hot dogs are just too hot to handle, at least in Franklin. Two women, Stacey Bower and Sonjalea Katz, were selling "hottie dogs," and the town commissioner stopped it because they didn't have the right permit.

The Milford Daily News has a picture of Katz and Bower. Their food van is indeed named "hottie dogs," and they are wearing tank tops, but we can't for the life of us understand what is so threatening about them.

Extra Blotter points go to the Daily News, which uses the phrase "peddling their wieners" in the article.

And if you want to know why "hottie dogs" are so special, they have BBQ sauce and onions.

--Follow-up to the really weird penis-stabbing that happened outside Z Square at Harvard Square. Z Square's owner, David Zebny, is saying that the victim's story doesn't add up. The victim stabbed, uh, "down there" is an employee at the restaurant, and, according to a Crimson report, he tied a tourniquet to his affected netherpart and waited two hours to call an ambulance. Stay tuned – stuff like this is bound to get weirder.

--It wasn't too hard for police to catch a guy who robbed the Citizens Bank on Washington Street. After he made his exit, police found him boarding an MBTA bus. Obviously, the guy knew very little about the slowness of MBTA buses.

--Early this morning, a drunk from Cambridge and a drunk from Revere attracted attention by peeing on a wall on State Street. So they're "whiz kids." That's perfectly normal. But they stood out because they proceeded to throw bottles at passing cars. That was not normal, and they became acquainted with the BPD.

--There is serious Blotter news out there, people. A judge has denied bail to Arnaldo "Nardo" Lopes, who stabbed Bobby Mendes to death in 1995 and created a cycle of violence in the local Cape Verdean community.

All charges alleged until proven under law. Image from a hot dog from Checkers.com Commons. Oh, how we wish we could have used the image of the Hottie Dog Wagon.
