On Thursday, March 5, 2009, at approximately 6:00pm, Officers assigned to Area B-3 (Mattapan), were patrolling the area of Blue Hill Avenue when they observed a motor vehicle make an illegal right hand turn. Officers conducted a traffic stop on the suspect vehicle on Babson Street near Mildred Avenue. Officers approached the vehicle on foot on were greeted by the operator, by sticking his head out of the window, and stating, “Why are you stopping me, your F’ing racist’. The officer explained to him that he did not properly signal his turn and asked for his license and registration. The operator refused to supply his license and registration and continued to state, “F you man”. The officer explained to the operator that if his behavior continued he would be subject to arrest for failure to comply with a police officer. The operator still refused to hand over his license and registration and the officer was forced to call additional officers to the scene to assist.
Upon back-up officers arrival, the operator was asked to exit the vehicle. Again, he refused. The operator eventually stepped from the vehicle and was placed into custody. He attempted to pull away from officers and continued to yell racial slurs. Due to the suspects’ unruly behavior, numerous individuals gathered to watch him.

Based on the officers training & experience, it was believed the hammer could be utilized in the commission of B&E’s. The suspect continued to state to officers, “Wait until you take these cuffs off…you F’d with the wrong dude”. The suspects parting words for the arresting officers: “Wait until I see you on the street without that gun on your hip”.
