WHEN ASKED TO GO … YOU SHOULD GOOn Sunday, May 11, 2009, officers from Area A-1 (Downtown) observed an individual looking into a plate glass window in the area of 150 Boylston Street. Upon closer inspection, it appeared to the officers that the individual was fondling his private region. Upon seeing the officers approaching, the suspect turned and quickly walked in the opposite direction. With assistance from Emerson College Public Safety Officers, officers were able to locate the suspect in a nearby doorway. When Boston Police officers approached, the suspect began to verbally disrespect and disparage the officers. When instructed to leave the area, the suspect, instead, chose to urinate on the building. While urinating on the building, the suspect continued to yell and scream profanities.
Officers arrested Algia Benjamin, 47, of Boston and charged him with Open and Gross Lewdness.
