BOSTON – A 33-year-old Webster man was arrested in Boston early Wednesday morning, April 22, on a stolen scooter.
Scott Carty was seen illegally operating a scooter on Massachusetts Avenue in Boston around 1 AM on Wednesday and a state police trooper stopped Carty.
Carty initially gave a false name, however the trooper was able to positively identify Carty through an electronic RMV record. Troopers found a wallet on Carty with multiple Massachusetts drivers licenses and credit cards that didn’t belong to him. The RMV record showed that Carty’s license was suspended and there were three active warrants for his arrest.

Troopers searched Carty’s backpack and located a large amount of a substance suspected to be crystal methamphetamine. The substance was packaged in multiple baggies and weighed a combined 242 grams.
Carty was placed under arrest and transported to the Tunnels Barracks for booking. A bail commissioner was contacted and ordered CARTY to be held without bail.
Carty was scheduled for arraignment at Boston Municipal Court on the following charges:
- Trafficking in Methamphetamine;
- Possession of Stun Gun;
- Operating a Motor Vehicle with Suspended License;
- Providing False Name to Police;
