80-Year-Old Arrested at TD Garden After Threat to Girls and Explicit Images, Police Say

Police say the Brookline man faces charges including showing obscene matter to a minor, with a court appearance pending.

Overview

  • Boston police identified the suspect as Alan Musson, 80, of Brookline, and charged him with threat to commit a crime, disorderly conduct, and showing obscene matter to a minor.
  • Officers on detail were called around 9:20 p.m. after TD Garden security received complaints from two juvenile girls.
  • The girls told police the man turned around during cheering and said, “I will kill you.”
  • Police say he then viewed nude photos of men on his phone within the girls’ view, reportedly on the Grindr app, and later acknowledged seeing the images.
