Boston Blotter: Attack of the Scrooge

101807-mail-truck.jpg--A Scroogey robber attacked a USPS driver in Roxbury last night. O'Ryan Johnson reports that the robber cuffed the driver to the steering wheel of his truck, and then the robber went shopping. Here's a description of the perp:

The crook is described as a black male, 6-feet tall, 220 pounds, wearing a thigh-length dark coat, dark-colored jogging pants and white tennis shoes.

Luckily for the driver, the robber didn't hurt him, and some people walking past helped him get free of the cuffs.

--Making a clean getaway is tough when it's snowing out. A perp learned this after robbing a Dunkin' Donuts in Porter Square early yesterday morning. He took off and left tracks behind, and police had little trouble arresting him.

--A fourth person has been indicted in the murder of Revere police officer Dan Talbot. The DA's Office announced that 17-year-old James Haeng was indicted yesterday on charges of being an accessory after the fact to murder and unlawfully carrying a firearm.

--BPDNews isn't being updated at the moment, but the Herald staff is poring over the reports. A man was arrested for his second drunk-driving offense on Wednesday night on Warren Street. And it was obvious. When police pulled him over, he had barfed all over the side of his car and down his front.

Even better, when police told him he was under arrest for driving drunk, the man responded, "Oh no, I had beer, not alcohol.”

All charges alleged until proven under law. Image from Wikipedia.
