Oregon Man Charged In Brookline 'Open & Gross' Incidents

BROOKLINE, MA — A man sought in connection to what Brookline police called two separate "open and gross" incidents in June was identified and charged on Sunday after being found with a BB gun, stun gun and handcuffs.

Police said an officer saw a truck with an Oregon registration that was believed to be connected to an incident in the Coolidge Corner area on June 24. Police said they conducted a traffic stop in which the man produced identification determined to be false, yet there was probable cause to determine the man was the one sought in the incidents, and he was arrested at the scene.

Police said Darryl Breen, 68, was identified as the man, who also had an outstanding arrest warrant in Florida.

Police said additional incidents may have occurred in Allston and the Back Bay area of Boston.

"We believe that there are other victims of similar incidents within the last several weeks that may have or may not have been reported to law enforcement," police said.

Brookline police ask that anyone who recognizes the suspect or believes they may have been a victim of his actions should call detectives at 617-730-2244 or contact the police department where the incident occurred.

Breen is currently in custody on a 20-day hold, and is due back in court in early August.
