Earlier today, the routine at Newmarket Commuter Rail was interrupted when a Transit Police officer observed a trespasser. The individual, a 33-year-old male, raised suspicion not only for loitering near the tracks but also due to his extensive criminal record. According to MBTA Transit Police, the man had not one, not two, but 25 outstanding warrants, accruing over 50 charges against his name.
What began as a simple case of trespassing escalated, leading the officer to justify an immediate arrest. The X post by the MBTA Transit Police starkly states the findings, "10/3 830AM #MBTA Newmarket CR a Transit Police officer observed a 33y/o male acting suspiciously while trespassing near the right of way.
