Local Loozahs
Today's "Local Loozahs" post comes from, where else, the Boston Herald Police Logs.
Now, if you're out on a boat and you start taking on water, it's good to have a flare gun on hand, so that the local authorities and rescue personnel can locate you before you sink. This is not, however, a good strategy to employ if you're sitting on your front porch with an illegal handgun in your possession.
Nice play, Shakespeare.

Tyrone Antoine Taylor, 18, allegedly got into the Fourth of July spirit a bit early Tuesday when he ignited a roman candle from a porch on Stonehurt Street.
Unfortunately for Tyrone, two cops happened to be driving by and stopped to watch the show before approaching the lad on the porch.
The officers found a backpack full of fireworks but when they located a handgun in the bag the festive mood disappeared.
Taylor was charged with illegal possession of a firearm along with the fireworks, which will spend the holiday in evidence rather than soaring over the city.
Nice play, Shakespeare.
