West Roxbury Officers Arrest South Boston Man on Firearm Charges

**Boston, MA** – On Wednesday, at approximately 12:45 PM, officers from District E-5 (West Roxbury) arrested Brendan Donovan, 45, of South Boston, on multiple firearm-related charges.

A detective on patrol observed a person on a scooter, who was carrying a duffel bag, run a red light in the area of Centre Street and Lorette Street. The scooter continued onto the sidewalk towards Temple Street and parked at 7 Spring Street.

The detective also noticed two masked individuals walking from the same location and tracked them as they met Donovan behind an unoccupied van in a parking lot. The detective and a beat officer approached the group, whereupon a firearm was seen in Donovan’s waistband; it was later identified as a less lethal CO2 firearm.

Additional officers arrived, removed Donovan from the scooter, and checked the duffle bag, discovering an AR-15 Camouflage Assault Rifle and a bag of Fentanyl. Donovan was arrested and will face several charges in West Roxbury District Court, including unlawful firearm possession and possession of class A substances.

Three Arrested in Roxbury Fire Incident

**Boston, MA** – On Wednesday, at approximately 11:10 PM, officers from District B-2 (Roxbury) responded to a report of a fire in the vicinity of 170 Morton Street. The response resulted in the arrest of three individuals: 33-year-old Jasen Levoy, 24-year-old Thomas Mullikas, and 25-year-old Augusto Bussio, all residents of Roxbury.

Earlier, at about 10:30 PM, a fire was detected by a Boston Police Sergeant near Franklin Park close to Shattuck Hospital. The sergeant alerted the Fire Department and later observed a second fire, prompting a request for additional support to determine if the fires were deliberate.

Multiple officers, along with personnel from the Boston Police Drone Unit and the Boston Fire Department, arrived at the scene. A drone was deployed over Franklin Park, and three individuals were seen on the golf course near the fire sites. These individuals appeared to throw objects at the drone before fleeing towards Jewish War Veterans Drive.

The trio was intercepted by officers on Jewish War Veterans Drive. They were identified as Jasen Levoy, Augusto Bussio, and Thomas Mullikas and were subsequently taken into custody.
