Police: Man wanted for rape arrested for playing with stun gun at North Station
By adamg on Tue, 04/04/2017 - 10:31am
Transit Police report arresting a man they say officers found firing a pink stun gun around 6:45 a.m. yesterday in the North Station lobby after they heard "a loud electrical snapping sound" near the entrance to track 10.
Police say Kerry Jones, 45, of Brookline, claimed he had just found the weapon and was just showing people how it work, police say. Officers confiscated the device and put Jones in custody after learning he had a warrant for his arrest out of Suffolk County charging him with three counts of rape, three counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and strangulation.
Innocent, etc.

Are those tears in his eyes?
Sounds like this guy is a coward wrapped the shell of a violent selfish thug. Good work, Transit Police!
No, No, you got it all wrong!
See I just found this. It's not mine! And I decided to fire it off a few times here in this crowded public place to show folks how it works. That's all!
He would have gotten away with it, too!
If it weren't for those meddlesome rape charges.
Good thing Marty Walsh forced
Good thing Marty Walsh forced the T to house the homeless in the South & North Station lobbies. How is a city able to dictate how a state agency runs it's business, and, how does Boston have NO MORE room to house the homeless?! I love how his solution was to dump them onto the laps of the daily commuters (non-residents!).
You are aware
most of the homeless in Boston are not from Boston? Suburbs and rural areas routinely encourage their addicts, mentally ill, and homeless to go to cities like Boston. Boston should be getting emergency funding from the state for doing the heavy lifting for metro Boston in regards to providing services and help for the mentally ill, drug addict, etc. homeless. Suburban towns do a good job at hiding their problems and dirty laundry, while routinely bad mouthing 'scary' big cities like Boston.
I live in a section of Boston and also use South Station during my daily commute. Most of the homeless there don't bother people aside from maybe asking for some $ or buy them food. You are free to say no; I do 98% of the time. What bothers me much more is the nasty, arrogant, smug, uptight attitude of many suburban commuters. God help you if you find yourself walking against a herd of these people going to or from their train. Most will not allow someone in the opposite direction to pass. The MBTA really needs a strong public info campaign telling people to KEEP TO THE RIGHT.
Yeah, Winchester would be
Yeah, Winchester would be full of homeless living on the street if they weren't encouraging them to go to Boston instead.
You might be surprised
at the number of druggies alcoholics and mentally I'll there are in Winchester.
Winchester exists as a viable place to live because it's in easy commuting distance to Boston/Cambridge. It's a 'bedroom community' of Boston.
That's known as a Rex Tillerson mug shot
Don't look him in the eyes and no speaking.
As a daily commuter through
As a daily commuter through North Station (on the Valenti Way entrance because I take the Orange Line), the MBTA never has a human in the customer service booth/kiosk when you get off the escalator (what's it there for?). That is why there is so much DAILY open drug dealing going on in the lobby, cigarette smoking in the lobby, fair piggybacking. The only time none of this shit occurs is when the BPD occasionally is downstairs next to kiosk operating the random bag checks. One day someone decided to defecate in the doorway and just leave it there. Watch the same thing happen to the bright, shiny, new Government Center Station. I've complained to the upstairs MBTA office but they've become indifferent to the situations.
Definitely not BPD doing
Definitely not BPD doing those checks on the T
Spot On
Although, it's really convenient for the dirt bag set. Grab a bag, smoke a butt, and get a free ride. We love it, but most of us don't like being around normal people. You make us as uncomfortable as we make you.
Just give us a proper place to be the trash we are and most will stay away from your parks and lobbies. There's gotta be a superfund site with some abandoned buildings somewhere. Let the drug dealing and antisocial behaviour be contained. It's not gonna stop and commuters and families will not have to deal with it if we get a place to exist as we are.
PS - Sorry bout the poo in the doorway
Whaddya mean "become indifferent?"
They've always been indifferent as long as I can recall.
