Good Samaritan and Detail Officer Help Arrest Suspect
Yesterday, Wednesday, March 12, 2008, around 1:34pm, a detail officer performing a detail at the intersection of Arlington St. and Boylston St. arrested suspect, Ronald Harris, 46, of Mattapan charging him with larceny from a Person.
The incident originated when the victim observed the suspect inside her place of employment at 376 Boylston Street. The victim made note of the suspect, and realized that he did not work there, nor was he a customer. The victim then looked in her pocketbook and realized that her purse which had been inside her purse was now gone. The victim, feeling that the victim may be responsible for her missing purse, asked him if she could check his bag for her wallet. As soon as the victim directed her attention to the victim and asked him about her purse, he took off running.
A witness who was nearby, and heard what the victim had asked the suspect followed him as he fled the building. While being followed, and before exiting the building, the suspect discarded the victim’s purse. The witness continued to follow the suspect as he fled the scene and the detail officer observing the witness chasing the suspect, assumed the chase, pursued the suspect and caught him. Additional units thereafter responded and transported the suspect to District 4 for booking.
The victim recovered her purse at the door of the building with all its contents intact.
Just Pay Your Fare
This morning around 1:45am, a cab driver flagged own officers from District 1 (Downtown and Charlestown) in the area of Kneeland St. and Boylston Street.
