Boston Blotter: Homicides Down

102207-party-police.jpg--Let's look on the bright side for a change. Any number of homicides in this city is bad, especially given the fact that the victims are often so young. However, the overall number of homicides in Boston is down from 71 to 66. [WBZ]

--A guy who worked at a porn shop decided that selling porn just wasn't enough. Dwan Hammond, who worked at the Amazing.net on Stuart, was selling poppers, too. Can you imagine the courtesy line at that place? "You've just bought 'Naughty Nannies Part 200.' Would you like poppers with that?" [WBZ]

--A woman in Framingham is accused of dousing her boyfriend in rubbing alcohol and setting him afire. She told police that he did it to himself, but they weren't buying it. [Boston Globe]

--Nelson Otuechere, the teen who was arrested yesterday for trying to steal a sidearm from an MBTA revenue agent at the Chinatown stop, pled not guilty and is being held on $25,000 cash bail. [Boston Herald]

--On Merchants Row, a bona fide dumbass punches an EMT while the EMT is trying to help the dumbass' drunk girlfriend. Then the dumbass proceeds to punch the ambulance. Yeah, you're gonna give that ambulance a black eye, buddy! At least the guy is from LA and not Boston. [BPD News]

All charges alleged until proven under law.
