Police: Man with gun leads cops on nearly mile-long foot chase from downtown into Back Bay

By adamg on Fri, 06/30/2017 - 1:03pm

Boston Police report officers responding to a report of a guy acting "suspiciously" on Tremont Street in front of the alley leading to the Orpheum found themselves running a race with the man - which they won.

Police say that because Eric Pass, 22, of Dorchester, was "exhibiting behaviors of a person who may be armed," shortly before 8 p.m. yesterday, the officers attempted to encircle him before talking to him. But, police say, he bolted.

Officers pursued the male in a lengthy foot chase before finally apprehending him in the area of 200 Berkeley Street. A pat frisk of the male revealed a loaded Ruger LCP 380 firearm with an obliterated serial number in the male’s pants.

Pass was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition, unlawfully carrying a loaded firearm, possession of a firearm with an obliterated/altered serial number and disorderly conduct, police say.

Innocent, etc.

Those officers must have been in GREAT shape! That is quite a distance!

Congratulations and thanks to the officers involved. One more alleged scumbag off the streets, at least temporarily, and a tiny bit more scrap metal for the heap.

Well they do make recruits run 5 miles daily come academy time. Some cops then let their diet and exercise take a toll afterwards. I think being in shape should be imperative throughout an officer's career. It's about feeling good and Wing able to do awesome stuff like this

in this weather, in uniform and belt, after a possibly armed suspect.

I start sweating just walking out the door.

He wasn't happy to see them.

A block away from my office, and why I work from home! (I work a late shift and get off at 9pm. Not really the neighborhood to be wandering around alone at night, unfortunately....)

Downtown? Back Bay?

I work there too, early mornings. It's like Times Square before the Disneyfication. Until a tourist or a rich resident gets shot and killed there, nothing serious will be done to clean up the area. But the good work of these officers is a hopeful sign.
