All suspects are innocent until proven
guilty in a court of law. It was a
lifelong dream of mine to be a police
officer. I at one time was involved in a
construction company. I worked
construction for probably 8 to 10 years
with my own company. and uh the
opportunity came up to be a police
officer. So, I jumped at the chance and
took it. I knew I'd never get another
chance to be one. So, I took the
opportunity, took the tests, and here I
am
today. Just got a call
for a stolen bike. There are apparently
two adults arguing over ownership of a
of a bike.
What's happening? I live here. You live
here? Yeah. I found this bike around the
corner today. The last four digits, my
social security number been engraved
into it. Okay. And I just showed it to
him. He agrees that it's my bike. He
says he had it and sold it for a year.
So your book. Do you have a receipt for
this bike or anything like that or did
you just engrave it yourself? No. No.
No, it's an older bike. I got it used,
but it was I got it used from a friend,
but I have my numbers on it. I showed
them here. 3646. That's the last four
digits of my social security number. If
I if I had known it was stolen, I
wouldn't, you know. How did you come to
get possession of this bicycle?
It was in the frame was in all I got was
the frame. How did you come to get
possession of this bicycle? The people
moved out from downstairs and was one of
the that was under all together. It was
just a frame and we rebuilt them or he
rebuilds them and that's why it's got
tires and everything else on it. Just
going to talk to him for a second. Hold
on here.
What do you want to do about this? Oh,
they're just going to leave the bike.
I don't really care about pressing
charges. Wouldn't do any good anyway.
But some they claim they claim that they
found it in the garage or in their
cellar, but it was stolen out of my
garage. I mean, I understand what he's
going through. All right. If it was me,
I'd How about the light? That was Oh,
yeah. The light. There was a light
headlight on it. Now, look at you. I
will press charges. You want to do it
that way? No, it's just It's a stolen
bike. You put stuff on it. You're going
to have to chalk it up to experience or
he's going to pursue it. Press charges.
Do you understand? Yeah, I do. Should
have never should have never done that.
You should have never invested any kind
of money into it. It's not yours to
begin with. It wasn't It wasn't
originally on that bike, but I
understand what he's saying.
Well, she's home.
The two gentlemen wanted to argue the
fact that it was theirs and that they
hadn't stolen it, but in fact, it was
receiving a stolen bicycle, which is a
misdemeanor in Massachusetts, but uh it
all worked out. Can I get

overturned uh truck on the boulevard

happen now is everybody is going to go
down the police station. We still
looking to figure out who is the driver
of that motor vehicle. Everyone's got
their story pretty well together,
though. No one seems to want to to budge
off the story. No one seems to know what
the guy looked like except for the guy
we believe is driving it. So, uh we have
a little bit of work ahead of us.
I've been a uh police
officer 11 years. It's uh going on 12.
95% of that time has been here in East
Boston.

words out in the street that I'm that
I'm easy. I'm No, not tell you man, man
for man. I won't, you know, I won't even
come in there anymore. You know,
right now we're in Paris Street where
the alleged shoplifter lives. We're
going to see if he can come up with some
type of form of identification so that
we know who he is and we'll go from
there. We're going to be going to the
third floor apartment. Third? Who do you
live with? Me and her. You and her.
Go ahead. Grab the dog, man. Grab the

like, "Well, if you show me some ID,
everything's cool." Did you show us an
ID? Well, he told me I didn't need no
picture ID. No, no, no. Told you
license, ID, anything. Yeah.
Unfortunately, he had no form of
identification. License, liquor ID,
nothing like that. So, we let the dog
run around the house and we're going to
take him to the station just for
shoplifting. Liberty Market's been
getting hit a lot down there and they
want to press some charges. So, that's
where we stand right now. Uh, Officer
Norton here is going to transport our
gentleman to District 7 where we'll go
through the book and procedures.
It figures though, Mikey, you know, the
guy's been arrested 63 times, five
aliases, but he's
innocent. I think most police officers
enjoy helping people a lot more than
they do arresting them. Helping people
get through situations, I should say, or
maybe finding solutions for small
problems. You just play, you wear many
hats. You play many roles in this job.
Vietnam. I I enjoy personally I enjoy
helping people.

where you were. You don't do this again?
You sure? It was a real relief to to
find the child. Me, myself, as a police
officer, you kind of get emotionally uh
involved. It's just um 5 years old that
that's close to home if you have
children of your own. And um as you can
see, everything worked out pretty well.
Okay, we have a domestic
um victim's outside the house. I don't
