Nothing to shout about

Police were called to a Kilby St. location shortly after midnight last Saturday on a noise complaint.

Upon arrival, three males were spotted standing outside at the reported address in the alley that leads to Lake St.

Two of the men agreed to leave the scene upon the officers’ request, but one of them, Joshua Resendes, of Cambridge, refused to do so and reportedly began to yell and behave in an agitated manner.

When he was advised by officers that he would be placed under arrest if he didn’t leave, Resendes joined the others as they made their way through the alley towards Lake St.

About ten minutes later another noise complaint was report to police, this one reported at Lake St.

Police officers assumed that the three individuals encountered earlier were likely to be involved in the disturbance, but they could not be found at the Lake St. location.

While patrolling the Union Square area, some loud shouting was heard by officers and they closed in on the area of Washington St. and Somerville Ave.

The sound of one man yelling was heard by officers and they closed in on it on Washington St.

The shouting was confirmed to be coming from Resendes as he and the other two men walked towards Union Square. When Resendes saw the approaching officers he reportedly directed his yelling towards them.

Police confronted Resendes and advised him once again that he should cease making so much noise, but he continued to yell while standing in the street obstructing traffic.

Resendes was placed under arrest and charged with disorderly conduct.
