This morning around 2:12AM, an officer from District A-1 (Downtown Boston) was on patrol in the area of Charles and Beacon Streets in an unmarked car when the officer’s attention was drawn to a parked car with an individual standing next to it. As the officer continued to observe this individual, he walked away from the car, scaled a fence, and continued to walk away and hid behind a nearby tree.
The officer, feeling that the suspect was of unlawful design and possibly had just committed a criminal act, requested additional units for assistance. The officer then observed that the rear “fly” window of the car had been smashed allowing access to the car. As additional officers arrived on scene, the suspect attempted to then make his way into the TD Banknorth Garden.
The suspect was subsequently stopped and placed under arrest after he was unable to explain what he had been doing next to the car, his reason for scaling the fence, and entering the Garden. The suspect, Trevor Thornton, 42, of Boston was arrested and charged with Breaking and Entering a Motor Vehicle in the Nighttime.
