Police spoke with the head nurse at the Roscommon West Roxbury nursing home at 5060 Washington St., who said the visiting suspect was drunk and refusing to leave, according to a Boston Police report. Visiting hours are 7 to 11 p.m. and when staff members told the suspect it was time to go he refused to leave. 

The suspect sat down on a chair on the front porch and refused to leave, even after officers asked him to leave several times, according to a Boston Police report. Officers offered the suspect a ride if he needed one, but he began to swear and berate the officers and staff. An officer put a hand on the suspect's arm to guide him off the porch and he began to resist and then held onto a window that was behind the chair he had been sitting on.
