-- What began as your run-of-the-mill New Bedford fistfight ended in a smashed truck and death. A fight broke out early Wednesday morning between James Donnelly and, 20 of New Bedford, and Michael Raposo, 26 of Dartmouth, outside of a New Bedford Chinese joint. Raposo allegedly attacked Donnelly with a crowbar during the altercation, which did little good against the presumably gifted pugilist, who absconded with Raposo's keys and his pickup truck. Not to be outdone, Raposo allegedly leaped into the back of the truck, crowbar flying, as Donnelly sped away. Raposo's crowbar attack proved to be a suicidally fatal distraction when Donnelly lost control of the pickup, which flipped over, throwing Raposo to the pavement and killing him.

-- John Mentor, a 23-year-old Hyde Park man, was indicted this morning in the attempted murder of three Boston cops. Mentor allegedly fired a gun at the officers during an attempted drug arrest on April 13.

But for the defendant’s bad aim and the officers’ immediate response, this could have been a multiple homicide." [Suffolk County District Attorney's Office]

-- 17-year-old Kiara Santiago of Roxbury pleaded not guilty yesterday to charges that she and accomplices invaded the home a 60-year-old Quincy man, robbed him, stripped him naked, and left him bound and gagged. The victim, Robert Noons, was a friend of Santiago's family, police say, and was relieved of $18,000, cash. The police report quotes Santiago as admitting that she and her four alleged accomplices planned to "rob Noons of all his drugs and his money," an interesting twist that might explain why the man had $18,000 in cash, but police have made no allegations that Noons possessed drugs.
