Boston Blotter: Pop Warner Gets a Police Detail

101507-pop-pop-pop-warner.jpg--Because some teenage bonehead with an anger-management problem and a gun shot popular Pop Warner coach Myron Stovell in the leg, Boston Pop Warner games will be getting a police detail. Way to ruin the fun for everyone.

The alleged shooter is currently being held without bail. He is not being identified because he is a juvenile. The press release from the DA's office confirms that the shooter got angry after Stovell accidentally hit the shooter's pit bull with his truck. The pit bull was okay, which makes the shooter's rage even more pointless.

Note to the Herald: We love snarky headlines as much as the next person, but "Pop Pop Pop Warner" with bulletholes replacing the "O's" is a little much, don't you think?

--Sunday night, an 18-year-old was shot to death in Mattapan on Orlando Street. He has not yet been identified.

Update: The victim has been identified as Charles Bunch of Mattapan.

--In Foxboro, a man in his late teens or early 20s was found shot to death early this morning on Route 106. Police are still trying to figure out who the man is, but they are saying the shooting wasn't random. Whoever killed the man wasn't messing around--he had been shot "at least 10 times."

--If you go on Craigslist and advertise that you are "sweet like candy," chances are pretty good that the police will think you're a hooker.

--And our favorite blotter-avoidance headline comes from the BC Heights: Don't Set Your Room Aflame!

All charges alleged until proven under law. Image of how the Herald treated the Pop Warner incident.
