“DON’T YOU GUYS HAVE ANYTHING BETTER TO DO?”At about 1:31am, on Friday, May 2, 2008, officers from Area D-14 (Brighton) observed two individuals who appeared to be intoxicated walking in the area of Brighton and Harvard Avenues. When the individuals turned the corner, officers immediately heard several loud, crashing noises. Upon turning the corner, officers observed approximately eight newspaper boxes (the metal containers used to dispense newspapers/magazines) lying in the street. Additionally, one of the boxes was leaning against a motor vehicle. Upon closer inspection, officers were able to observe damage to the motor vehicle (scratches) resulting from the contact with the newspaper box. When officers approached the suspects, the suspects became verbally belligerent. When asked to explain their actions, one of the suspects stated, “Don’t you guys have anything better to do?” Instead of asking the same question of the suspects, officers instead arrested Ryan Buckley, 30, of Allston and Elie Whitney, 35, of Haverhill and charged both with the Willful & Malicious Destruction of Property.
