Police: Assault Suspect Caught with Cocaine

Police say a 16-year-old was carrying more than 40 bags of crack cocaine when he was arrested Thursday afternoon for allegedly trying to assault another man in a run-down on Tremont Street.

Officers arrested four teenagers, all males from Roxbury, after they reportedly chased another man down Tremont Street. Police observed the victim hiding behind parked cars near the Douglass Park apartments before running from the group of suspects, one of whom was “clearly armed” with a knife.

Two of the suspects were later found to be carrying knives, according to a police report.

Dominic Douglas, 19 of Roxbury, Michael A. Campbell, 18 of Roxbury, London C. Lee, 18 of Roxbury and a 16 year-old male juvenile from Roxbury were charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. The juvenile was also charged with possession of a class B substance with intent to distribute.
