Police: Man with loaded gun nabbed on Boylston Street in the Back Bay

By adamg on Fri, 08/31/2018 - 2:11pm

Boston Police report officers tipped off that a guy might be strolling down Boylston Street last night stopped him between Arlington and Berkeley streets and found it was true.

Tarique Richardson, 22, of Roxbury, was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition, carrying a loaded firearm and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number for the loaded .38 caliber Taurus revolver police say he had tucked into his waistband. He was also charged with possession of counterfeit money after a booking officer found several fake bills in his wallet, police say.

Innocent, etc.

not a good day for young Tarique. Good day for the citizens of Boston though - and another job well done by the BPD.

State and federal crimes here - let's hope for a stiff sentence for this loser.

Will take a look. Seems to be affecting all Google maps on the site.

Thank you for taking Mr Richardson and his illegal gun off of the streets.

True that a guy was strolling?
Is that really ALL he was doing?
When I give police tips like a guy might be strolling, well... let's say that their eyes might be rolling.
