Boston Blotter: NY Governor In Prostitution Bust
--This isn't local, but the big crime story of the day is the revelation that New York Governor Eliot Spitzer was involved with a prostitution ring. He made a public statement alongside his wife earlier today. Our motherblog Gothamist has all the details. [Gothamist]
--In political sex scandal news related to our State House, the arraignment of Carl Stanley McGee, the Deval Patrick aide who is accused of "sexual battery on the boy whom police say is between 12 and 16," has been delayed while Florida authorities prepare the charges against him. [Boston Herald]
--A Papa Gino's in Hyde Park was robbed late Saturday night. At least one of the assailants was armed. After being told that the location's safe could not be opened, the four robbers forced "the employees into the basement and took their cellphones and wallets." [Boston Globe]
--Robbers also hit a CVS in Newton. After having just closed the store, two employees were forced back at gunpoint while two masked men accessed the safe and stole an undisclosed amount of money. The robbers were both wearing black zip-up hoodies and gray sweatpants. [The Boston Channel]
All charges alleged until proven under law.



according to the NYT, the investigation that caught spitzer started in a building next to dunkin donuts! too awesome. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/11/nyregion/11inquire.html
