On Tuesday, May 5, 2009, at approximately 5:56pm, Officers assigned to Area E-13 (Jamaica Plain), were working in a plain clothes capacity in the Egleston Square area when they observed three individuals engage in what they believed to be suspicious behavior. Two of the individuals began walking away when they observed the officers. The officers exited their cruiser and followed the suspects and called to them to stop. The two refused and continued walking. One of the suspects was observed holding his waistband while attempting to get away from the officers. Through the training and experience of the officers, they found this behavior consistent with that of an individual who is in possession of an illegal weapon.
Officers caught up to the suspect and conducted a pat-frisk for their safety. They discovered the suspect to be carrying a stun gun as well as several plastic bags of crack cocaine.
Officers arrested Clifton Austin, 23, of Boston on the charges of Possession of a Class B Substance (cocaine) With Intent to Distribute, Possession of a Class B Substance (cocaine) With Intent To Distribute Within 1000 feet of a School Zone (Ellis Mendell Elementary) and Unlawful Carrying of a Dangerous Weapon (stun gun).
