--It's always fun when a story is headlined, "Is it raining weed?" Five Roslindale residents--with ages ranging from 14 to 22--were arrested after allegedly forcing their way into an apartment building and heading upstairs. After police showed up en masse, one suspect "dropped a bag containing a green leafy substance believed to be marijuana on the head of a detective” from a balcony. They were arrested on breaking and entering and marijuana charges. [Roslindale Transcript]
