Lyette caught Boston reflected Oh noes, a night game! Allston residents fret about Harvard football from 7-10pm. Will it be the worst thing to ever happen in Allston? [Allston-Brighton TAB] Does Somerville have more tats than Allston? [Somerville Journal] Firefighter-turned-bodybuilder Albert Arroyo (no word on tattoos) still trying to get his job back. [Globe] Doctors can refuse to provide legal treatment. Goody. [AP via Herald] Nurses, however, can't get no respect. Or fair contracts.......

--Bostonist hasn't seen a "flagrant foul," or a sports-related blotter entry, in some time. The bad situation that was the Super Bowl loss just got worse for New England Patriots defensive back Willie Andrews, who was busted driving an unregistered car and having pot on him in Lowell. If it had happened to anyone one else, on any other day, no one would have cared. But the Herald points out that Andrews has a record.......

-- A pair of shootings remain mysteries. At 10:13 Friday, police responding to calls in Roxbury found a black male in his 20s suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. And at 2:45 this morning, police found a man shot multiple times on Torrey Street in Dorchester. Both victims are at Boston Medical Center being treated. No suspects have been arrested in either case. -- A Taunton man was found by police shot dead inside a parked......

--A man and his mother were shot while riding in a car yesterday in Dorchester. The Globe reports that Darnell Ricks Jr., 20, was hit in the arm, and his mother "appeared to have been grazed in the face by a bullet." Police have a detailed description of the alleged perps: "They were looking for three black males who appeared to be in their late teens and about 5 feet 8 inches tall. One wore......

--In Centerville, Kelsey Pratt, 19, of Osterville, allegedly drove drunk into the side of a house. That in itself doesn't seem Blotter-Worthy, but WBZ has the video, and Pratt didn't just tap that house. She plowed into that sucker like it was a garage. No one got hurt. WHDH says this is Pratt's second OUI offense. --But wait, there's more drivers plowing into houses! In Saugus early this morning, an unidentified driver struck two cars,......

--The BPD has announced that an "errant shot" hit Steven Odom, 13, in the head in front of his own home. Odom was killed in Dorchester on Thursday night. Commish Davis says that police already have leads. But that's not going to help the family. Gangs and gunfights in this city are a huge problem, and it's incidents like these, where an innocent kid dies, that makes it seem as if the police and the......

--Remember the old line from Crocodile Dundee when Mick (Paul Hogan) is threatened by a tough guy with a switchblade? And then Mick whips out a much larger knife and declares, "That's not a knife! [brandishes knife] Now that's a knife!" Well, imagine that scene in Framingham. With guns and way scarier. A store clerk in Framingham went all Crocodile Dundee on an aspiring robber by trumping the robber with a bigger gun. A guy......

--Instead of saving up their allowance, pulling out some teeth for the Tooth Fairy, or asking Santa, three kids allegedly plotted a Nintendo Wii heist. The kids broke into a house on Chandler Street, but the owner came home and saw a 12-year-old girl in medias res, with the Wii in her hands. The owner grabbed the girl while her so-called friends, a 12-year-old boy and a 15-year-old boy, tried to escape. The BPD was......

--The BPD was busy today and yesterday. Early this morning, four people were shot around Levant St. and self-applied to Boston Medical Center. One of them was said to be in critical condition. WHDH links the incident to a house party. Also early this morning, an attempted burglar was on the fourth floor of a building in Jamaica Plain. When the police arrived, the burglar jumped out of the window and sustained life-threatening injuries. Elsewhere......

--It's pathetic, totally pathetic, when people can't have a birthday party that doesn't end with shots fired and two dead bodies. Yesterday in Dorchester, a birthday cookout was winding down. Two men were in a car leaving the cookout when a fight erupted and someone used guns to win. These deaths mark the 35th and 36th murders of the year. So, what about those increased foot patrols? --The Birthday Cookout Murders story doesn't end there.......

-- The Herald reports that a man was shot in Roxbury on Wednesday night to increase the city's homicide tally to 34. The slain man, described as "in his late teens or early 20s" was driven to Boston Medical Center and pronounced dead a short time later. The Herald vividly tells us that his trip to the hospital took place in "a blood-splattered Chevrolet Blazer." Police are looking for information. -- The body of a......

-- The Roxbury man found shot in Mattapan on July 4 died from his injuries on Tuesday. Michael Wiggins was 22 years old and found near Arbutus and Ashton streets before he was rushed to Boston Medical Center. Police have upgraded the investigation to a murder investigation as a result. -- Banks are becoming the new candy shoppes: The Bank of America on Cambridge Street was robbed at gunpoint at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, the......

-- A woman driving north on Route 24 early Sunday morning was pulled over by what appeared to be an unmarked police cruiser, complete with a single blue light. When the man, who identified himself as an officer, ordered the woman out of the car, he sexually assaulted her and then took off. -- Another day, another shooting in Roxbury: police responded to a reported shooting at 9:34 p.m. Sunday night to find a 20-year-old......

-- A man was walking home on Normandy Street in Dorchester late Thursday morning when a young black male, one of a group of three, reportedly walked up to him and asked to see his iPod. When the victim declined the opportunity to show off his piece of gadgetry, one of the men drew a gun and placed it against the victim's temple and told another to take the iPod. They then walked away. Police......

UPDATE: The Orange Line is running again according to an MBTA rep. We're running the blotter early because Ruggles is shut down following a shooting on a train. WBZ reports that a 19-year-old went to Boston Medical Center. WCVB had more – the man was hit in the leg, it happened on the last car, and two black men ran off after the shooting. MBTA says the following on its site: Substitute bus service will......

--More details have emerged about the stabbing death of Adam Rich at The 6 House Bar in South Boston. The fatal fight started over spilled beer. A witness, the victim's best friend, said someone spilled beer on the victim, and the fight got out of control. The victim's best friend is also an Iraq War vet, and he saved some choice words for the murderer: “Whoever did this is the new breed of scumbag who......

--Finally, we have some light blotter news - old-school public drunkenness. The BPD has cheered us up with one of their funniest headlines in recent memory: "Overnight Accommodations Granted to Wild Reveler." At the Breezeway Bar in Roxbury, someone was crossing the line between happy drunk and angry drunk. The angry drunk was trying to attack one person and then "started tapping officers on the chest." Unfortunately, the BPD did not use its favorite phrase......

--The outrage over Chiara Levin's murder is growing. Like Quinntessa Blackwell, Levin wasn't the "intended target," according to police. But no one is talking – and no one has adequately explained why it took so long to take Levin to Boston Medical Center early Saturday morning. She was shot in the head, so it wasn't as if there was a question of whether or not she needed to go to the hospital. To get people......

--A 44-year-old guy found out how hard it is to get into MIT when he tried to burgle a fraternity early Friday morning. Since these are MIT students, they were awake. They were also sober enough to realize that this individual wasn't a fraternity brother, though it would be hard to miss a large 44-year-old dude trying to hide behind a large-screen TV set. Since the incident resulted in a flaming chase and the arrival......

Yesterday morning a man set fire to his own apartment. He was shot twice in the leg and his grandfather was dying. Many details have yet to be released about this incident, but Bostonist knows the principles of self-defense have been creatively applied. There are a few tips that Bostonist has picked up over time to keep us safe when walking down dark unfriendly streets; keep your keys spread between your fingers—ready to gash,......
