Gerard Burton, 57, of Boston, was arrested just before 2 a.m. on Saturday, July 30, after an officer spotted him urinating on an elevator at MBTA's Ashmont Station in Dorchester, Transit Police said. The officer told him to stop, but Burton kept going until he finished, police said.
But as officers ran his information, they realized authorities in Middlesex County wanted him on several violent felony charges, police said. He had outstanding warrants of assault and battery on a 60+-year-old disabled person with serious injuries, assault with a deadly weapon, and three counts of intimidating a witness, officials said. He was also wanted on a fraud charge in Rhode Island, police said.
Police arrested him and alerted Rhode Island authorities.
