Boot Throwing Leads To Fight, And Arrest: Arlington Police Logs

ARLINGTON, MA — So far this week Arlington Police arrested two people, a man who was wanted in another town for assault, and a young woman who got into a fight over a boot. An arrest does not mean there will be a conviction. But here they are, from the Arlington Arrest Logs.

Sept.29

Warrant: Police arrested Cameron Savage Anthony, 22, of Arlington, and charged him at 4:52 p.m. on warrant. He was wanted in Attleboro for Assault and Battery. (He's been arrested before in town, see 'Self Proclaimed 'White Supremacist arrested')

Monday, Oct. 2

Assault and boot throwing: Police arrested Patricia Magrath, 19, of Arlington, at 11:04 p.m. and charged her with assault and battery and assault with a dangerous weapon (a boot). A staff member from the Youth Villages at Germaine Lawrence on Claremont Ave called to report an assault on campus. When police arrived they spoke to a staff member who told them she'd attempted to restrain a student. The staff member told police two clients were talking about Magrath's boots, when Magrath interrupted their conversation they told her to stay out. The conversation escalated as Magrath and the other client began arguing about the rules of the house, according to the staff member. It culminated when Magrath took off her boot and threw it at the other person who was about 3 feet away, which then started a fight. The staff member jumped in to restrain Magrath, but she turned and began punching the staff member in the face and head.
