An Intervale Street man and his
girlfriend were in Dorchester District Court this
week adding to the list of police reports on the
two of them. Both were arraigned on charges of
assault and battery and one for biting a police
officer.
Tyrone Silcott, 37, of 159
Intervale St., pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Silcott's court-appointed attorney, Jeffrey
Clifford, said his client is disabled, with six
children, including three with the victim.
A separate case is pending with
him as the victim, Clifford said. She had come home
drunk and tried to throw him out, Clifford said,
adding that his client said she had a black eye
when she came home.
It appears to be a case of
"mutual combat," Clifford said.
Judge James Coffey set bail for
Silcott at $5,000, and revoked bail on an open case
in Dorchester District Court. Silcott, who also got
a one-year restraining order imposed on him, is due
back in court Feb. 22.
Police responded shortly after
11 p.m. on Monday night to the Intervale residence,
getting met outside by the suspect, who said his
girlfriend, the alleged victim, had been
drinking.
Police went upstairs to talk to
the alleged victim, who was crying and initially
reluctant before saying, "Look at my face,"
according to the police report. Officers saw she
had swelling in the left eye and slight bruising,
according to the report.
During booking, Silcott, while
being uncuffed, allegedly grabbed an officer's
right arm and bit him, according to the police
report. Silcott was taken down with no further
injuries to officer or himself.
Prosecutors said there were 10
police reports between the two of them, with the
defendant having a six-page record.
Suffolk jury deadlocks on
Blue Hill Ave. case
A re-trial appears likely after
a Suffolk Superior Court jury this week deadlocked
again in the case of a four-year-old Blue Hill
Avenue murder.
Superior Court Judge Thomas
Connolly declared a mistrial after the jury said it
was deadlocked following six days of deliberations
and six days of testimony in the case of Anthony
Davis. The 25-year-old is charged with the murder
of 24-year-old Barcelone Luc in March 2004.
The murder allegedly stemmed
from an argument at a restaurant close by, Joseph's
Pizza, near the intersection of Blue Hill Ave. and
Landor Road.
The jury declared itself
deadlocked on Monday.
A re-trial is expected "at the
earliest opportunity," according to the Suffolk
District Attorney's office.
Mt. Everett St. man calls in
abuse, gets arrested
He allegedly tried to stab her.
He says she was destroying the house and hitting
him.
A Mt. Everett Street man was in
Dorchester District Court on Tuesday, arraigned on
charges on an assault and battery charge.
Carlos Bousted, 20, of 44 Mt.
Everett St., pleaded not guilty to the charges. He
was due to show up in court on Christmas Eve day,
but didn't because he was confused about the date,
his court-appointed attorney said.
Attorney Jeffrey Clifford said
Bousted didn't realize what he was signing when
police let him go.
"He clearly didn't read
everything he signed,' Clifford told the court.
Judge James Coffey was
skeptical, noting, "He defaults a lot."
Coffey set bail at $150,
ordering Bousted back to court on March 27.
Clifford said Bousted has three
children, one with the victim. He said the
defendant has been living at the current address
for four months and works as a manager at a
self-storage company.
Police responded to Bousted's
call on Dec. 22 shortly after 10 p.m., with the
girlfriend running towards the front door with no
top on. She was crying hysterically and told
officers that Bousted told her, "I just want to
stab you," according to the police report.
She said she was about to get
into the shower and he slammed her head into the
ground.
For his part, Bousted told
officers he was on the phone and she had become
enraged, thinking he was cheating. She then started
destroying the house overturning the Christmas tree
and scattering clothes all over the living room and
bedroom floor, according to the report.
Bousted said he called police
but she grabbed the phone, and broke him. In a
struggle, he charged that she bit him in the
back.
Dorchester man indicted in
pizza shop shooting
A Dorchester man was indicted
last week on four counts in the shooting at a
Norfolk Street pizza store.
Gary Johnson, 18, was charged
with first degree murder, armed robbery, unlawful
possession of a firearm and the unlawful possession
of ammunition.
Johnson is charged with shooting
and killing Mumin Manavoglu, 45, of Stalex Pizza,
on a November morning.
Johnson allegedly demanded money
from Manavoglu and received $60 before fleeing the
store. The victim then followed Johnson outside
before Johnson turned around and fired his gun,
hitting Manavoglu in the head, according to Suffolk
District Attorney Daniel Conley's office.
Police spotted Johnson and
finally caught him in a tool shed by Woodrow
Avenue.
Manavoglu died on Nov. 2, the
same day Johnson was arraigned in Dorchester
District Court, with the judge setting bail at
$250,000.
Johnson is expected to be
arraigned on the murder charge in Suffolk Superior
Court within two weeks, Conley said in a
statement.
