Flashback May 2012:
Police officers attempting to question a man forced their way into an Ocean Avenue apartment and arrested the occupant Wednesday night, after a fire broke out in the unit, Capt. Dennis Collyer wrote in an e-mail.
“Officers forced entry and found curtains set on fire and (the) suspect in (an) adjoining room with his hand up yelling, ‘Don’t shoot me,’” Collyer wrote in an e-mail Thursday.
Police arrested and charged Mounir Rhoulam, 34, of 364 Ocean Avenue, Apt, 209, with indecent assault and battery on a person 14 years old or older, arson of a dwelling, malicious destruction, furnishing false name at arrest and disorderly conduct on Wednesday at 10:13 p.m., according to the Police Department media log.
Collyer wrote in his e-mail that officers responded to the Ocean Avenue building after a security guard reported a “suspicious man” in the building’s garage area…
UPDATE: Police have left the apartment in Revere, a Boston suburb, according to the Boston Globe: http://t.co/X3E5cw5yAM
