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.
