TPD secure Arrest Warrant for the true Silver Line OUI subject

James M. Tilton

On October 25, 2013 at approximately 1 a.m. Transit Police officers responded to the D Street portal entrance of World Trade Center MBTA Silver Line for a report of an accident involving a single vehicle. Subsequent to an investigation by the responding officers a male party was placed into custody for OUI Liquor. The male subject was transported to Transit Police HQ for the arrest booking process. During the booking process the male subject furnished the name of William Tilton and other personal identifiers to include social security number, date of birth and residential address of William Tilton. The information was submitted to the Automated Fingerprint Identification System, as is customary, and the information was processed.

On evening of October 26th, 2013 Transit Police detectives positively verified the male subject arrested was NOT William Tilton but rather his estranged brother James M.Tilton, 57 years of age. Upon ascertaining this information we took immediate action to correct the misleading and criminal act of James M. Tilton. Earlier this afternoon (10/28/2013) Transit Police detectives secured an arrest warrant for James M. Tilton issued from South Boston District Court for Operating under the Influence of Liquor 3rd Offence, Operating after Suspension; Subsequent Offence and False Name at Booking.

Due to human error, there was a breakdown in the verification process.  We are conducting a thorough evaluation of our policies and procedures and will take whatever corrective action is necessary to prevent something like this from occurring again.

 

If you know the whereabouts of James M. Tilton please contact our Special Crimes Unit at 617-222-1181 or you can send us an anonymous tip to our text line at 873873.

PUBLIC NOTICE

 The MBTA Transit Police is seeking re-accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies based in Gainsville, VA.   The Accreditation standards provide a quality assurance review of an agency and prioritize high liability concerns as well as officer and community safety areas that are critical to a professional police department. Accreditation is a voluntary, internal process by which the Department seeks to achieve, objectively verify, and maintain high quality in our operations through periodic evaluations conducted by an independent, non-governmental body that has established industry standards.  The Department has been working toward Re-Accreditation, which takes place every three years.  During each Re-Accreditation period, the Department must show it is continuing to comply with the standards by showing updated and continuing proofs of compliance.  An on-site Assessment Team will visit the Department next week to inspect and verify that the Department continues to adhere to the Accreditation standards.

 As part of that process we are required to notify our community members and ask them to participate in the process.  You may call into the Commission regarding our effort to be reaccredited.   I have attached a document that outlines the process and have noted the phone number below.   Please take the time to contact them either by phone next week or by writing to them at the address listed.

Warning-Counterfeit Tickets World Series

During the Boston Red Sox World Series, Transit Police would like to remind/warn Red Sox fans to be wary of purchasing counterfeit tickets.  Transit Police have taken reports in the past from victims who have purchased counterfeit tickets from secondary sources. Oftentimes the "seller" will arrange to meet the buyer at various MBTA stations, conduct the sale and quickly vanish within the mass of people utilizing the T.  By the time the buyer realizes the tickets are counterfeit the "seller" is long gone.  Fans who purchase tickets from a secondary source are taking a RISK. We would like to encourage fans to only buy tickets from authorized ticket agencies. Purchasing from other sources is not recommended. 

Potential ticket buyers should guarantee authenticity by purchasing tickets directly through the Boston Red Sox website at Ticketmaster.com or in person at the Red Sox ticket offices. 

 If you have any information of people selling counterfeit tickets on the MBTA please contact our Criminal Investigation Unit at 617-222-1050 or send an anonymous tip via text to 873873. If you have information of people selling counterfeit tickets within the City of Boston please call Boston Police District 4 detectives at 617-343-4683.
