Medford Man Arrested For Allegedly Being ... Really Gross

MEDFORD, MA - Transit Police say they arrested a Medford man Monday morning after he was accused of following a woman around on a Green Line trolley and masturbating in front of her.

Michael Frechette, 45, was taken into custody at Wellington Station for open & gross lewdness. He was arraigned in Boston Municipal Court.

A woman had said that on March 21 at approximately 1:15 p.m. a man on a Green Line trolley near the Arlington stop positioned himself very close to her. When she moved, he followed her, and then she noticed he was masturbating.

Another passenger told the man to stop, and the suspect left the trolley at North Station.
