DORCHESTER, Mass. — Two Dorchester 18-year-olds were arrested late Monday after Boston Police say one of them punched an officer in the face — and the other turned up carrying a loaded stolen 9mm.
Armanti Perez-Taylor and Khyier Winfield Young, both 18 and both of Dorchester, were taken into custody at about 9:31 p.m. on Monday, May 25 near Westville Terrace and Boyd Street, Boston Police said.
Officers from BPD's Youth Violence Strikeforce had spotted four males standing at the intersection — acting, police say, as security for a nearby party. As officers moved in to engage, one of the four allegedly threw a punch, catching the officer in the face before turning to run.
A second suspect, found carrying a loaded firearm, resisted as officers wrestled him into cuffs.
