Massachusetts Appeals Court July 10, 2000, No. 99-P-1074 (Commonwealth v. Moscat)

Greenberg, J.

Officer Jerome Riley of the Boston police, while on routine patrol in the Fields Corner (Dorchester) neighborhood of Boston at 10 p.m., April 22, 1998, got a radio call directing him to the area of Harbell Terrace and Leonard Street. Rowdy youths were drinking and causing a ruckus. This was not the first time he had visited that area on such a complaint.
