The female then told officers that the “victim” had called her a few minutes earlier and told her that he was in an accident, and told her to come out before the police come. The female then told officers that the “victim” never told her anything about a carjacking at all. Officers then asked the suspect where he had been coming from before the incident, and he told officers that he had been at Hooters in Saugus earlier in the night and later went to a bar in Day Square where he had some more drinks. Based on the facts and circumstances, the “victim’s” conflicting stories, the female owner’s statements about the “victim’s” call to her, and his slurred speech, and other indications of intoxication, officers placed the victim turned suspect, Sophear Phath, 22, of East Boston under arrest and charged him with Operating under the Influence of Alcohol.
