Last Thursday night, Boston law enforcement apprehended 53-year-old Jason Archie on charges related to a breaking and entering incident in Downtown. According to Boston Police Department's official statement, officers were summoned to 190 High Street around 10:55 PM after reports surfaced of an active break-in.
Upon their arrival, authorities found a shattered glass door and an emptied cash register. The scene was processed by District Detectives who then circulated a photograph of the suspect among officers. Known by the officers from a previous incident, Archie was believed to frequent the vicinity around North Station and Nashua Street, where he was later discovered, trying to hide his face, seated on a milk crate among a group of six individuals.
When approached by the officers and after self-identifying, Archie began to leave but was instructed to remain and remove his hands from his pockets. Disregarding this command, he was swiftly handcuffed. During the arrest, Archie made several attempts to kick an officer, as reported by the Boston Police Department. Ultimately, his involvement in the crime was established through further inquiry.
Archie is set to face multiple charges including "Breaking and Entering Nighttime for Felony," "Larceny from a Building," "Break into a Depository," and "Assault with a Dangerous Weapon (Shod Foot)," which his foot, wearing the shoe, allegedly served as during the altercation with the arresting officer. His forthcoming arraignment will be held at Boston Municipal Court, concluding the night's events.
