Boston Police report arresting two men a 911 caller reported were walking down Savin Street in Roxbury Friday night, at least until officers arrived and then try tried to run away, but failed - one also then failed to hide in some grass that wasn't tall enough to cover him, police say.

According to police, Zakiya Pierre, 19, of Everett and Jaydan Depina, 18, of Cambridge, were ambling down Savin towards Blue Hill Avenue when officers arrived around 10:20 p.m.
