What started as a report of a person armed with a knife in Boston’s Back Bay ended with two arrests, police finding a gun in a fanny pack, and a man being summonsed for allegedly seeking sex for a fee.

The Boston Police Department said the case first started after officers were called to the area of 40 Dalton Street on Thursday night, after authorities received a report of “a person with a knife.”

Police arrived to learn a man had ventured into a hotel there to “meet a female for sex for a fee,” according to a news release, only for the woman to allegedly threaten to stab the victim and rob him of $200.

The victim later returned to the hotel lobby and reported what happened to staff. Police also learned a male suspect appeared to be involved in the incident, as well.

Police proceeded to make their way up to the floor the armed robbery took place on, only to encounter a male suspect in a hallway who attempted to flee the scene.

The suspect was stopped soon afterwards and following a search, police found a firearm described as a Glock 43X inside of a fanny pack, along with eight rounds in the gun’s magazine. Also recovered – $12,363.

Officers later located and arrested the female suspect, as well.

Robert Sanatana, 28, of Lawrence, Massachusetts, and Danine Simpson, 27, of New York City, were both taken into custody, with Simpson charged with armed robbery and Santana charged with both unlawful possession of a firearm and unlawful possession of ammunition, in addition to unlawful possession of a large capacity feeding device.

Meanwhile, police said an unnamed 28-year-old male suspect was expected to be summonsed to court at some point to face a count of engaging in sexual conduct for a fee.

Virginia family gets keys to Habitat for Humanity’s first 3D-printed home in the US

By
(CNN) — One Virginia family received the keys to their new  3D-printed home  in time for Christmas. The home is Habitat for Humanity’s first 3D-printed home in the nation,  according to a Habitat news release. Janet V. Green, CEO of Habitat for Humanity Peninsula and Greater Williamsburg, told CNN it partnered with Alquist, a 3D printing company, earlier this year to begin the process. The 1,200-square-foot home has three bedrooms, two full baths and was built from concrete. The technology allowed the home to be built in just 12 hours, which saves about four weeks of construction time for a typical home. April Stringfield purchased the home through the  Habitat Homebuyer Program . She will move in with her 13-year-old son just in time for the holidays. “My son and I are so thankful,” Stringfield said in a  live feed streamed on Habitat’s Facebook  page. “I always wanted to be a homeowner. It’s like a dream come true.” To purchase the home, Stringfield logged hundreds of hours of

Lawsuit: High school football player says coaches forced him to eat pizza as punishment, violating religious beliefs

By
CANTON, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio high school football player who says coaches forced him to eat a pizza covered with pepperoni grease in violation of his religious beliefs is suing his former district and the ousted coaches. The former Canton McKinley High School athlete and his parents filed a federal civil rights suit this week seeking millions of dollars in damages and alleging violations of his religious freedom and constitutional rights. The athlete says in the lawsuit that coaches were notified he doesn’t eat pork or pork residue as a member of the Hebrew Israelite religious faith, but that they ordered him to eat the pizza as punishment for missing an offseason workout — and indicated his spot on the team was at risk if he didn’t. The coaches say the player chose to remove pepperoni and eat the pizza rather than an alternative food. They weren’t aware it violated his religious beliefs, according to a  defamation case they filed  previously against the teen’s father, his attorney a

Bergeron, Pastrnak and Bruins finish off Capitals in 5 games

By
WASHINGTON (AP) — Patrice Bergeron and David Pastrnak dazzled on offense, Tuukka Rask was rock solid in net and the Boston Bruins are moving on to the second round of the playoffs. Bergeron scored twice at crucial times after Pastrnak’s  highlight-reel  goal, Rask made 40 saves and the Bruins eliminated the Washington Capitals in five games with a 3-1 victory Sunday night. Bergeron delivered the dagger with 7:35 left to set up a second-round showdown against either the Pittsburgh Penguins or New York Islanders. Chants of “TUUKK!” emanated from a large group of black and gold-clad Boston fans who were part of the limited-capacity sellout crowd of 5,333. Those were occasionally interrupted by “We want the Cup!” — the trophy the Bruins last won a decade ago after a 39-year title drought. They’re 12 wins away, thanks to their best players dominating in Game 5. Pastrnak made it look easy putting the puck behind his back and through his legs, assisted on Bergeron’s first goal and was par
