Taken from police department web sites, the official submissions run the gamut from mundane misdemeanors to the most serious of felonies.

Incident Date
Summary On 10/29/08 at approximately 3:21AM officers were dispatched to 458 S Murray Blvd, the Apollo Village Apartments, regarding a home invasion burglary that had just occurred. The victim, Mr. Gonzales, said he and his teenage children were asleep in the apartment when they were awakened by loud banging on the door. Mr. Gonzales said he and his kids looked out the window and saw a hispanic female kicking at the door. The door was forced open by the female and 4 males entered the apartment, along with the hispanic female. A hispanic male pointed a gun at Mr Gonzales and his teenage children, asked where the dog was, and forced Mr Gonzales, along with his children to sit on a couch while three black males searched the apartment for a dog. The suspects were apparently looking for a dog that had been stolen from them. The suspects did not locate the dog and left the apartment. There were no injuries. Officers checked the area for the suspects, but were not able to locate them. The suspects were described as a Hispanic female in her twenties, a Hispanic male in his twenties with a shaved head approximately 5 foot 10, and three younger black males. The suspects were last seen in an older model dark colored 4 door vehicle.

Boston Police Department
At about 4:04 am, on Saturday, November 8, 2008, officers from Area C-6 (South Boston) responded to a radio call for loud music in the area of 5 Shepton Terrace. On arrival, officers spoke to several residents who stated that one of the tenants was playing his music much too loud. As officers approached the location in question, officers could hear Christmas music being played at an unnecessarily loud level. When the tenant answered the door, officers instructed him to lower the music due to calls made to 9-1-1. Officers further advised the tenant that people were having difficulty sleeping due the loud Christmas music. With the music turned down, officers left the location. However, a short time later, officers were called back to the same address for the same reason (noise complaint). Upon arrival, officers were able to hear the loud Christmas music. When officers knocked on the door, the tenant answered the door and began swearing at the officers. Officers arrested Kevin Foley, 54, of South Boston and charged him with Disturbing the Peace.
