Boson Man Arrested and Jailed After Refusing to Disperse Bonfire Party in Easter Blue Hills Woods
Bonfire of the Vanities
A Saturday night/Sunday morning bonfire party at a home on the edge of the Easter Blue Hills Reservation was shut down over the weekend as a local man was arrested for refusing to disperse the crowd of guests numbering some three dozen people.
Police arrived after neighbors had called to report a gathering that violated Massachusetts Governor Charles Baker's order to limit the number of people at any gathering to ten or less people.
Towards midnight Boson Police arrived at the wooded area behind the Steve Miller's home and ordered him to tell his guests to leave and to stay six feet away from each other.
"The US Constitution affirms the right of the people to assemble peaceably," the Miller said. "There is no 'except during pandemics' clause or restrictions. I am exercising my rights. You are using police state tactics for a medical problem."
"Tell it to the judge," one officer said as they handcuffed the man after giving him several chances to simply tell his guests to leave."
"This is 'public health fascism,'" Miller shouted to the crowd.
As Miller was placed in the police van the crowd dispersed. From the back of the wagon the man yelled out, "Do you support you local police state?"
"No," his fellow bonfire attendees replied.
Boson County Jail has many empty cells as the facility has been releasing all prisoners and those in lock up to leave due to COVID-19 fears of the prisoners being infected. One accused rapist immediately attacked a woman outside the jail. A couple of burglars broke into a house across the street. But the jail has filled up as police are arresting people who are not following pandemic guidelines. COVID-19 prisoners will not be released in order to slow the pandemic and get the population acclimated to police measures to enforce public health rules.
