Boston Blotter: Caution Tape That Has Nothing to Do With "Dexter"

--Walter Tyler, 27, disappeared on Monday while riding a ferry between New Bedford and Martha's Vineyard. Tyler is a Navy vet, and his family says that a) he's a good swimmer and b) he didn't seem like the type to jump off the ferry.

--In Plymouth, a man and a woman were taken to hospitals last night after the Jeep Grand Cherokee they were in drove off a boat ramp and into Plymouth Harbor. They were underwater for almost an hour.

--Some dipstick in West Roxbury tried to get out of shutting down a rowdy party by informing police officers that his dad was a cop. The cops weren't impressed and told him he was in trouble anyway, whereupon he started fighting with the officers and was arrested. Wonder what Daddy thinks now?

--Update on the man found stabbed to death off the Jamaicaway: Police sources are telling the Herald that the man was "known to police" and that the crime may have been drug-related.

--Isaura Mendes has been through hell. She lost two sons to violence and became a peace activist. She was arrested yesterday because she laid down in front of a police cruiser that was about to take away her grandson, Joao Vicente, on a witness intimidation charge. The BPD is also accusing her of scratching an officer on the neck.

--According to WBZ, a BPD officer showed up at work drunk. Sergeant Grady Durden was suspended for five days.

--Northeastern is back, sort of. A student who was expelled after robbing another student and intimidating a witness can't take the hint that Northeastern doesn't want him around. Shawn Bowden was caught driving his car behind Snell Library, and he had pot on him.

All charges alleged until proven under law.
