Police: Four juveniles arrested, firearm and stolen car recovered in Roxbury
The vehicle was originally reported stolen on Friday, May 23, around 7:12 PM in the area of 398 Cambridge Street.
Officers of the Wentworth Institute of Technology Police Department saw on surveillance camera that the vehicle was being driven around Ruggles Street at 5 AM on Saturday.
Shortly after, around 5:24 AM, officers were dispatched to the area of 60 Southern Avenue for a report of a person with a gun. Officers were told that four individuals attempted to rob a victim while displaying a firearm. The suspects fled the scene, and officers were able to broadcast a description of the fleeing vehicle.
Then, an officer saw the vehicle driving on Warren Street towards Dudley Street, which prompted the officer to call for backup to stop the vehicle. Officers attempted to stop the car on Dudley Street, but refused to stop and drove around multiple police cruisers.
The vehicle then fled at a high rate of speed while also failing to stop at a red-light intersection on Malcolm X Boulevard. Officers lost sight of the vehicle and began patrolling the area of Tremont Street and Saint Alphonsus Street, when a supervisor was able to review security cameras and inform officers that the vehicle never left the area.
Officers were able to locate the vehicle around 6 AM in a public open garage underneath 75 Saint Alphonsus Street.
Numerous vape products were secured from the vehicle, and Newton police took custody of the vehicle.
The four suspects were then seen walking in the area of 1600 Tremont Street, which resulted in a foot pursuit. The suspects were taken into custody in the area of Huntington Avenue and Tremont Street.
Officers searched the suspects, two 15-year-olds, a 16-year-old, and a 14-year-old, and found multiple stolen vape products and a spent shell casing from the 15-year-old. The stolen keys were found on the 16-year-old.
A firearm, a Palmetto Armory with one round in the chamber and eight rounds in a large capacity magazine, was recovered from the 14-year-old. The firearm was also equipped with a laser sight.
While being booked, the 14-year-old provided officers with a false name, which officers were able to determine the true name of the suspect which revealed he had an active warrant out of Juvenile Court for Firearm related Offenses.
The 15-year-old Male was charged with Delinquent to wit; Carrying a Firearm Without a License, Delinquent to wit; Carrying a Loaded Firearm Without a License, Delinquent to wit; Unlawful Possession of a Large Capacity Firearm, Delinquent to wit; Unlawful Possession of Ammunition, and Delinquent to wit; Receiving Stolen Goods.

The 14-year-old Male was charged with Delinquent to wit; Receiving Stolen Goods, and Delinquent to wit; True Name Violation.
The 16-year-old Male was charged with Two Counts of Delinquent to wit; Receiving Stolen goods.

Judge could dismiss charges against more than 100 defendants without lawyers amid work stoppage
Advertisement However on Monday, the committee filed an emergency petition asking the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court to order Juvenile Court judges in six counties to follow similar protocols and dismiss charges against juveniles who have gone too long without legal representation. There 'is an ongoing systemic violation of indigent [youths'] constitutional rights to effective assistance of counsel due to CPCS's incapacity to provide such assistance through its staff attorneys,' or through court-appointed bar advocates, the lawyers for the committee wrote. Attorney Shira Diner, former president of the Massachusetts Association of Criminal Defense Attorneys, said the push to dismiss cases against juveniles and adults 'shows just how deep and severe this crisis is.' Advertisement At the heart of this crisis is the work stoppage 'We're going to have cases closed without resolution. I would urge everybody who cares about public safety to be in support of our bar advocates and help them get back to work,' Diner said. Governor Maura Healey told reporters last week that she would 'do everything I can to advocate for a swift resolution' to the work stoppage. She said bar advocates 'deserve to be paid a fair wage' and 'it's not a good situation where people don't have representation and are being released.' Last month, legislative leaders sliced a measure from their $61 billion budget plan that would have raised the pay for some, but not all, of the state's court-appointed attorneys. At the time, Senate President Karen E. Spilka said 'hard decisions had to be made,' but she looked forward to talking to bar advocates directly 'to hear what their issues are.' On Monday, James Borghesani, a spokesperson for Suffolk District Attorney Kevin R. Hayden, said in a statement that prosecutors 'have done their utmost to oppose the release of serious offenders' since the work stoppage began. The 45-day mark, which triggers the court-ordered protocols requiring hearings, 'represents a significant escalation in the threat to public safety, with cases involving serious assaults, domestic violence and other high-level offenses up for potential dismissal,' Borghesani said. 'The danger is only going to expand and compound as the stoppage drags on and additional defendants are released.' Advertisement On July 3, Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court Justice Dalila Argaez Wendlandt had ordered Suffolk and Middlesex counties to follow what is known as the Lavallee Protocols in response to an earlier emergency petition filed by the public counsel committee. The agency represents about 20 percent of the state's indigent defendants and relies on some 2,500 bar advocates to take on remaining cases. Under the protocols, if defendants who can't afford to hire their own lawyers aren't appointed one as required by state law, then a judge should consider releasing them. State law generally requires defendants be provided a lawyer within an appropriate time. The courts have established that time to be seven days for those in custody and 45 days for anyone charged with a crime. In its latest emergency petition Monday, the public counsel committee said protocols should be expanded to include juveniles because the work stoppage was having a severe impact on them as well. As of Friday, there were 101 unrepresented children charged with crimes in the juvenile courts in Essex, Franklin, Hampden, Middlesex, Norfolk and Suffolk counties, according to the petition. One juvenile was being held in custody in Suffolk County while the charges are pending, and the rest were released. 'As in District Court, there is a chronic shortage of private counsel in juvenile courts across the Commonwealth which has been exacerbated by the work stoppage,' the petition says. 'Without a specific end date to the work stoppage combined with the ongoing counsel shortages in Juvenile Court, increasing numbers of children will face criminal charges and detention unrepresented.' Advertisement The petition says youths are afforded even more rights and privileges under the law than adults, including 'the opportunity to consult with an interested adult prior to any police interrogation,' making it critical that they immediately be appointed a lawyer once they are charged with a crime. Youths can also request that their cases be dismissed prior to arraignment, requiring a lawyer be retained before then. As such, the petition said requirements under the protocols should be even more stringent for juveniles than adults when it comes to lawyers. Youths may not be held for more than three days without counsel, the petition says, and charges should be dismissed if a lawyer does not file an appearance on behalf of a youth within 15 days of the youth's initial appearance in court. Also, according to the petition, no child may be placed in a diversion program prior to arraignment without consulting a lawyer about waiving their constitutional rights, which is required before entering such a program. The SJC has yet to rule on the petition. Shelley Murphy can be reached at

TN Yanks Driving Privileges from Bullies
Teen bullying here in Tennessee now comes with a very inconvenient penalty. I'm Tomi Lahren, more next. In a noble effort to combat bullying and cyberbullying, a new law here in Tennessee states that any minor found guilty of bullying or cyberbullying in juvenile court will lose their driving privileges for one year. This was a bipartisan measure that lawmakers here in the volunteer state hope to see other states adopt. The law might seem a bit harsh but it does offer a second chance for first time offenders and has a carve out to allow teens to drive with restricted privileges to church, school and work. That does require sign off by a judge, however. It's a noble endeavor. Far too many young people suffer long term consequences from bullying and far too many even resort to taking their own life. I do think this law is going to be tough to enforce, though. One man's 'teasing' is another man's 'bullying' and the discretion here seems pretty broad. Even so, I hope parents will step up to the plate and fill the void. Manners, decency and godliness in the home would go a long way and probably be more effective than yanking driving privileges.

Dad clarifies incident involving officer, son
Confusion over the time line of events leading to the indictment of a former Cumberland County Sheriff's Office correction officer have been clarified by the teen's father. The series of events led to the indictment of Danny Ray Stone, 57, who was indicted by the county grand jury June 17 on charges of assault and official oppression. The original story placed the scenario as taking place in Juvenile Court on March 7. The teen's father said this was incorrect and that the court appearance and the incident and two separate events. The 14-year-old was summoned into Juvenile Court two weeks prior to the March 7 date for reasons not clear and at that time was ordered to serve two consecutive weekends by the judge. Nothing happened in court. On the first weekend, the teen was in the process of purchasing a soft drink in juvenile detention when he slipped or tripped and struck the back of his head on a desk. This resulted in a trip to the emergency room and treatment including two staples to close the wound. The incident involving the corrections officer occurred on the second weekend when the 14-year-old arrived at the detention center to serve his second weekend. The minor's father explained his son arrived early and for unknown reasons, decided to leave seven minutes before his 4 p.m. check-in time. The father continued his son was free to go because he was early. Corrections officers tried to detain him and some sort of incident took place, resulting incident between the corrections officer and the teen, the father said. While the father was outside the detention center and did not witness what took place, the father said his wife was present along with deputies and other corrections officers. The incident was captured on surveillance video. The Chronicle apologizes for the confusion in the original story and is happy add clarification. Stone is to appear in Criminal Court July 8 for arraignment.
