Boston Hearth lieutenant’s arraignment a crack in Norfolk County hackerama

It might have been the busiest Friday afternoon ever on the Francis X. Bellotti Courthouse in Quincy — definitely in August.

The hacks couldn’t even take an early slide to the Cape, they had been so nervous and discombobulated. The cops had introduced in a millionaire perp and perhaps for the primary time ever in Norfolk County, the hackerama couldn’t repair the case.

The defendant was a $160,000-a-year Boston hearth lieutenant named Joshua Thompson. The sheriff transported him to the courthouse in handcuffs from the county jail in Dedham, the place he’s been locked up since Wednesday.

From gold bars to behind bars — don’t they know who Lt. Thompson is, and extra importantly who he’s associated to?

The judges definitely knew. All of them ran away from his dangerousness listening to, citing the standard “connections.” How predictable. They needed to import a choose from outdoors the county.

Likewise, District Lawyer Meatball Morrissey’s minions wished to provide this one a great leaving-alone. In Norfolk County, no one ever will get prosecuted except they don’t quantity to nothing, or perhaps come from Fall River, like Karen Learn.

The hack ADA’s understood very properly who Josh Thompson is. And on this looming post-Meatball period in Norfolk County, it will not be a great profession transfer to prosecute somebody that… wired.

The quick straw to look in courtroom was lastly drawn by a ham-and-egger prosecutor named Mark Assad. That’ll educate Assad to provide Meatball greater than a miserly $40 contribution subsequent time!

Thompson was lugged by the Milton police after his spouse received a restraining order towards him. She reported that he was nonetheless sitting on an enormous arsenal at their fabulous mansion on Adams Road.

It’s in the very best a part of city, much more posh than Hinckley Street the place Gov. Deval Patrick and the late crooked state senator Brian “A number of Selection” Joyce had been as soon as Stunning Folks collectively.

Inside Thompson’s five-million-dollar fort, the cops discovered 5 “assault-style” rifles, 5 handguns, together with one in a cooler on the entrance door, 2000 rounds of ammunition in addition to a drug stash of various drugs and powders (he was charged with meth trafficking).

Doesn’t the Boston FD have “random” drug assessments? Hmmmm…

The Milton cops additionally found surveillance cameras inside the home. Thompson’s estranged spouse, pregnant with their fourth baby, had earlier advised the courtroom that he’d eliminated all of the smoke detectors to put in the cameras.

Nothing was talked about within the courtroom paperwork, however the cops have been buzzing privately for days now about what they noticed on these movies.

The gossip you may hear within the halls of the Francis X. Bellotti courthouse in Quincy on a Friday afternoon in August!

When he was arrested, Thompson apparently couldn’t imagine it. No matter occurred to skilled courtesy?

Thompson’s father Peter got here out of Quincy Level and made large bucks within the metal enterprise. Daddy takes care of all of the pols — $6,000 over time to Quincy Mayor Thomas Koch, one other $2,000 to state Sen. Nick Collins of South Boston.

Josh Thompson has additionally duked $2,000 to Collins. At one time, as a Metropolis of Boston worker, Thompson used an deal with in Ward 7, which is in Collins’ district.

In courtroom Friday, the prosecutor talked about that there was yet one more protecting order towards Thompson, involving a enterprise affiliate in a improvement deal that had gone bitter.

As with the spouse (who saved her maiden identify, by the best way), the affiliate can’t be recognized as a result of he too is a sufferer. However this different man who was frightened of Thompson is the brother of an area politician.

In keeping with statements in courtroom, Thompson was accused of exhibiting up with loopy leaflets on the faculty attended by the youngsters of his politically linked enterprise affiliate. That’s some scary stuff. There was additionally graffiti spray-painted on the pol’s brother’s home.

Thompson served within the army. When he received again, he dated a wonderful, barely older lady who was additionally from Braintree. When she died of most cancers in 2016, at age 37, Thompson was described within the obituaries as her “loving companion.”

Then he took up together with his present spouse, who can be a blonde looker, as you may see from a photograph of the once-loving couple on the BFD Fb web page.

They had been married in a lavish, big-bucks wedding ceremony in Dennis Port. He was flipping properties and making the massive bucks, or so it appeared.

On the BFD, he was concerned in a rescue within the North Finish in 2017, branding him endlessly after, no less than till Friday, as a “hero jake.” He was assigned to the firehouse on Hanover Road.

If you happen to ranked excessive sufficient within the Quincy hackerama, you is perhaps suggested by the county capos that when eating out within the North Finish, you needn’t pay these usurious parking charges.

Simply drop your automobile on the firehouse and point out Lt. Thompson.

Let him know who you despatched and the place you had been from, so long as it was from someplace in Norfolk County, ideally Quincy or Braintree…

However by Friday, the uber-connected lieutenant discovered himself jammed up on the Francis X. Bellotti Courthouse. How the mighty are fallen.
