Boston Blotter: Give Me All Your Five Dollar Bills!

--Someone kept the President's Day spirit going a little too long, allegedly robbing a Bridgewater bank yesterday while wearing an Abraham Lincoln mask. Police have apprehended a suspect who they think actually robbed the same bank once before (though not donning the Honest Abe facade for that caper.) [Boston Globe]
--A Haverhill woman was convicted of drug trafficking and given 15 years after she was tied to 51 kilograms of cocaine, with a street value of roughly 2.5 million dollars. She is a mother of four. [Boston Herald]
--Acting on an arrest warrant, police busted into a Blue Hill Ave apartment. None of the several people inside was named on the warrant, but cocaine and marijuana were in "plain view." One man claimed possession of the drugs and a shotgun and was arrested. [BPD News]
--An unsolved murder from 1972 of a 13-year-old altar boy is back in the headlines after a Hampden DA released evidence relating to the case. The papers were released because of a case between the Diocese of Springfield and an insurance company. The only suspect was the parish priest, but he was never charged. [Boston Herald]
All charges alleged until proven under law.
