A man in Massachusetts with several criminal priors was arrested and charged after allegedly hiding in a museum bathroom where he reportedly attacked a 15-year-old girl.

On October 13, a 15-year-old girl and her friend visited the Museum of Science in Boston together. Just before 1:00 PM, the 15-year-old needed to use the facilities and entered the bathroom without her friend, who waited for her outside the powder room. A woman who was also at the museum went in moments after the teen, and while using the bathroom, she reportedly heard what sounded like a female struggling and screaming.

When the authorities were notified, the Massachusetts State Police went to the location to investigate the situation. They spoke with the teenage girl, and she explained that while she was in the restroom at the sink, someone came up behind her and put their hand over her mouth. She reported that they tried to strongarm her, but she broke free and exited the bathroom. She provided what the police considered a good description of the suspect. The woman who was in the restroom when the incident occurred also spoke to the police. She said that before hearing what she thought was a scream, she saw the shoes of the person who grabbed the teenager.

A man was taken into custody on Thursday as the suspected perpetrator of the theft of a tie pin reported missing from a display at a history museum in Arkansas in March.

Judge Isaac Parker sat on the bench of the U.S. Court for the Western District for 21 years, beginning in 1875 and ending in 1896. He became historically known as “The Hanging Judge” for the large number of death sentences handed out to offenders tried in his court. Parker was said to have worn a golden lizard-shaped pin while sitting on the bench.
