In early February, a couple of college students snuck into Fenway Park and created the now viral video seen below. At first it was a funny, amusing prank, but not anymore. Officials at Fenway tell us that enough is enough, they are done playing games and if you try this they will catch you and charge you to the full extent of the law.
And that’s exactly what happened early this morning at approximately 01:00 hours as a group of kids attempted to scale the Green Monster. Boston Police Officers from District D-4 responded in the early hours for calls from Fenway Security that they had at least one male in custody at the top of the Green Monster with a number of other still attempting to scale the wall. When Officers arrived on scene they located a number of college students, matching the suspect descriptions, loitering around the same area as the attempted wall climbers, and they were detained for questioning. A total of six young men were stoped and questioned in the area.

The seventh subject was taken into custody by Boston Police at Gate D where Fenway Security were waiting to hand off their prisoner. Boston Police have identified the truly special individual as 19-year-old Seamus Webster of Newburyport, and a student at Boston University. Webster was charged with Trespassing but also Breaking & Entering Nighttime, a very serious felony charge that carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and could leave him branded as a criminal for the rest of his life.

We spoke with members of the security team at Fenway who told us they are done playing games, over the past few weeks it has become an increasingly problematic occurrence and they plan on pressing charges on anyone who enters the stadium. “It’s really not hard to catch these morons, we have cameras covering almost every inch of this park. We will find you and now we‘re gonna make sure you got to jail.” Boston Police did confirm that they have increased patrols in the area and are working with Fenway on how to approach this problem moving forward.

As for Mr. Webster, we reached out to Boston University for comment however we did not receive any at this time. As for his future, that still seems up in the air. The other young men were FIO’ed and released from the scene due to the fact they were unable to make it over the wall, however it is unknown if they simply were too weak or just too scared to make the climb.

3 years agoYes it was foolish but to press charges and ruin his life is way overboard. Community service would be a better route

3 years agoYou do the crime you do the time. That being said maybe he shouldn’t have his life ruined but you can have every jackass college kid doing what they want to do, we already have a place full of people who did what they wanted to do and..,.,,that’s jail!

3 years agoThis is not a felony, they entered through the triangle there’s a gate it’s always open and a security booth with a guard on duty 24/7. If he wasn’t asleep at the time or his head down in a bucket of chicken I’m sure he would have seen the culverts walk right past him, obviously he didn’t they walk straight into the park into the right field concourse and onto the field but seriously who’s really at fault here? These kids was a security guard that couldn’t catch a cold?

3 years agoBreaking and entering in the night time is a felony, so you’re mistaken there. They entered by climbing the outside facing of the Green Monster wall?!?! How hard and fast would these Douche bags families sue The Boston Red Sox if one of them fell and got hurt or worse. Charging them with a felony might be a little severe, Im sure there is better ways to get their attention and make an impact, and stop with the Ad Hominem attacks against a security guard just trying to make a living, he definitely doesn’t deserve it!

3 years agoFor all those saying its overkill and its not worth ruining his life over, isn’t it more malicious behavior than homeless individuals (most often of color) who break in somewhere to sleep or get warm and yet they are regularly charged with felonies. Why should this kid be shown such leniency when so many others who are already so much more disadvantaged than him do not?
