Police arrested Rivera-Burgos on Beacon Street at just after 2:30 p.m. on the day in question. Several detectives attempted to make contact with him at the apartment.

“We verbally identified ourselves and informed any occupants that if they did not come to the door we would force entry,” according to the report. “We received no response at the door and entry was forced through the main entrance of the apartment.”

The detectives cleared the apartment and made contact with Rivera-Burgos and arrested him.

Since Rivera-Burgos reportedly didn’t speak English so an interpreter was provided to him during processing, according to an arrest report. When asked where he lived, Rivera-Burgos allegedly stated Essex Street in Lynn, MA, and “insisted that he was not living on Beacon Street,” according to the detective. He requested bail, was given $20,000 cash bail, and was held. He was arraigned the next day.
