Hexxus Member Arrested For Wearing Bullet Belt
In what will no doubt be a huge PR boost for previously totally unknown band Hexxus, member Kevin Young was arrested after causing a panic on a public bus while wearing a bullet belt. BPDNews.com reports:
At about 4:20 PM on Friday July 10, 2015, officers assigned to District D-14 (Brighton) responded to a call for a person with a gun on an MBTA bus in the area of Cambridge and Harvard Streets.
Officers learned that the driver had pulled the bus over as passengers began calling 911 when a male suspect boarded the bus with what appeared to be military grade ammunition strapped around his waist. The driver stated that the passengers were in a panic, fearing that the suspect was about to pull out a weapon. The suspect, later identified as Kevin Young, 26, of Watertown, exited the bus and was stopped by police on Penniman Road at which time it was discovered that the ammunition was fake. Officers recovered 69 replica bullets in all. The suspect was wearing what was described as spiked fighting gloves and spiked leather bracelets.
The suspect was placed in custody and will appear in Brighton District Court on charges of Unlawful Possession of Ammunition, Unlawfully Carried Dangerous Weapon and Disorderly Conduct.
Those charges have since been dropped when Young made his court appearance, however. MyFoxBoston.com reported this update yesterday:
“Based on the totality of circumstances, however, including confirmation that the cartridges on said belt could not and weren't intended to be fired, prosecutors dismissed the charges at arraignment in Brighton Municipal Court,” the Suffolk County District Attorney said.
So what do you think metal heads? On the one hand, walking onto a public bus looking like you are about to shoot up the place is a pretty damn bad idea (and it's a good thing there wasn't some trigger happy asshole with a concealed weapon on board), but on the other, he didn't actually commit any crime and arresting him for having fake bullets seems way overboard.
