Stolen Bike, U-Turn Leads To Arrest: Brookline Police Logs

BROOKLINE, MA — Police respond to dozens of emergency calls each day. The following reports are taken from the public police log, the Brookline Police blog and from Brookline Police arrest reports. It's important to note that just because someone reports an incident to police doesn't mean that's the way it happened.

Wednesday, May 8

Well being check: Police arrested Jason Schell, 42, of Nantucket and charged him with possession of a class E drug. Police said they were called to check on a man who was talking to himself on Beacon Street for several hours. When police arrived they asked him for his ID, but he became confrontational. After police assured him they were there for a well being check, he gave them his license, which police used to check to see if there were any warrants for his arrest. Turned out he had just been issued a default warrant out of Falmouth District Court the day before for OUI Drugs and negligent operation of a motor vehicle. Police arrested and handcuffed him where they found six pills on him.

No license: Police arrested Joao Siqueira, 37, of Everett, and charged him with not being licensed to drive. Police said they saw his green Toyota Corolla on Harvard and after they ran the plates through the system saw that the owner was not licensed to drive. Police said had been stopped in 2015, 2016 and 2018 for the same thing.

Illegal U-turn: Police arrested Ricardo Pina, 67, of Randolf at 11:16 a.m. on Rt.9 and charged him with driving on a revoked license and an illegal u-turn after seeing a red Honda make an illegal u-turn at the corner of Washington and High Streets. There's a posted no u-turn sign so police stopped him and discovered his license to operate a car was revoked in 2012.

Man with gun: Someone reported they thought they saw a gun in a man's bag. Officers found the man in Brookline Village and a paint ball gun was located.

Bike stolen: A man approached an officer at the intersection of Harvard and Fuller streets to report a stolen bicycle. The man told police he locked his bike to a meter out front of a restaurant nearby at 9:45 p.m. and when he came back a half hour later his bicycle was missing. While police attempted to find witnesses, a restaurant owner informed officers that the parking meter head was broken and could be lifted off the pole. Police believe this is how the bicycle was stolen.

The bike is described as a black, blue, and white Fit brand BMX bicycle.

According to the report police saw that no one was wearing seatbelts and asked for identification from passengers. That's when they discovered Roberts had a warrant out for his arrest.

Crash: Police arrested Jonathan Arnold, 36, of Waban, and charged him with OUI and operating to endanger after responding to a crash on Chestnut Hill Avenue.
