Man with Multiple IDs and Stun Gun Arrested
New York resident held without bail while facing multiple charges after being arrested on Amtrak train.
The Boston Herald is reporting that a man was arrested on Tuesday at Univiersity Station after passengers reported that he was acting suspicious.
Amtrak police confronted the man, and when he didn't produce an ID they took a further look at him.
Because the man had no ticket, he was arrested. Upon searching his belongings, police found that he was in possession of a stun gun and had identifications in six different names, as well as prescriptions filled out to all the different names.
