“It was too easy to catch these fools”

That robbery at The Joint? Resolved.

Most amusing (other than that the alleged perp was ID’d through Facebook) is that the huge bong being lifted below at 0:21 is named “Frankenstein”. It’s a monster. From Wicked Local-

Lawton said once he discovered who the individual was — Michael A. McDonald Jr., 17, of 96 Hamilton St. in Saugus — he went on Facebook and crossed-checked the image from the video with images from the suspect’s profile, which was public. He said the teen’s tattoos on his neck were the best incriminating factor in identifying the suspect. Because one of the other suspects cut his finger entering the store, police also have DNA evidence on a second suspect.

“It was too easy to catch these fools,” Lawton said.

Under the pressure from the community and the police, the Saugus teen allegedly confessed his involvement in the crime and returned the Frankenstein tube. He was arraigned earlier this week and is charged in Brighton District Court with breaking and entering, willful and malicious destruction to property and larceny over $250, but Lawton said he hopes to press the district attorney for a charge of grand larceny over $10,000.

All that smashing of glass prompts me point out that Diablo Glass School down in Roxbury has a wine and cheese glassblowing thing at the end of every month.
