"A Connecticut man is facing charges as Boston police allege he was part of a crowd responsible for igniting a police cruiser with fireworks during an Oct. 5 street takeover in the South End. David Antonio Moran, 19, of Norwalk, was arrested early Thursday morning, a Boston Police Department spokesperson told reporters. Moran - also known as David Moran-Chavez - was apprehended "as a result of a painstaking investigation," the spokesperson said."
"The chaotic incident was one of several street takeovers in Eastern Massachusetts that morning, with large crowds shutting down streets in multiple communities as drivers performed high-speed stunts and spectators looked on. Gov. Maura Healey responded with the announcement of a $14 million safety grant, expressing "zero tolerance" for the meetups. "It poses a real significant threat to public safety and certainly harms quality of life in our neighborhoods and communities," she said in October."
