Police Log: Winchester Resident a God

March 13 – Just before the witching hour of midnight, a resident of Pleasant Street in Belmont called police after hearing what sounded like someone talking on her outside porch. Then came a banging sound. Officers hurried over and searched the home's ground level but could not find anyone. Then they looked around the porch which is 6 feet to 15 feet above the ground. The officers carefully began their search and came across an open door. There they found a young man without a shirt and no shoes. When asked by officers who he was, the man answered, "God. I'm a friend of the family." The self-proclaimed deity – who had dirty knees and hands – then advised law enforcement that Judgement Day was a mere two days away. When asked how he came to be on the porch, "God" suddenly lost his omniscience ability as he didn't have an answer. It was discovered at the station that he was merely a child of God; William O'Leary, 21, of Mt. Pleasant St. in Winchester was charged with breaking and entering at night, destruction to property and, of course, giving a false name and social security number.
