Five men were arraigned today for allegedly using the Boston Bruins’ Stanley Cup victory last night as an excuse to engage in disorderly and destructive behavior, Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel F. Conley said.

JUSTIN JERACKAS (D.O.B. 3/21/89) of Chester, New Hampshire; MICHAEL TRWARI (D.O.B. 9/30/82) of Andover; and BRANDON ZAGARELLA (D.O.B. 7/12/92) of Andover were arraigned in the Central Division of the Boston Municipal Court Department on five counts each of malicious destruction of property.

Boston Police arrested the trio at about 12:40 a.m. after receiving reports of three young men breaking the side mirrors of cars along Endicott Street. Those cars were all registered to residents of the North End. Using witness descriptions, officers located and apprehended the three. Witnesses positively identified them as the vandals and police took them into custody.

Each of the trio was released on his own recognizance with orders to stay away from the TD Garden and the North End. They will return to court on Aug. 4.

Also arraigned today was TREVOR LEGERE (D.O.B. 10/29/90) of Swampscott, charged with assault and battery on a public employee for allegedly shoving a Boston Police officer. In that incident, Legere allegedly approached an officer near the intersection of Sudbury and Cambridge streets just after 1:00 a.m. and said he’d been hit in the face. The officer began to walk Legere to the nearby District A-1 station to write a report and provide first aid when Legere allegedly became suddenly combative.

The officer explained that he was trying to help Legere, but to no avail: Legere allegedly shouted profanity at him and shoved him twice. The officer then arrested him and brought him to A-1 anyway.

Legere was released on his own recognizance with orders to return to court on Aug. 20.

Finally, CHRISTOPHER PRADER (D.O.B. 11/20/90) of East Boston was arraigned on charges of inciting a riot, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest for his alleged behavior near the intersection of Causeway and Beverly streets.

At about 9:30 p.m., Prader allegedly caught the eye of several officers, declared that he was not a “punk,” and dared the officers to arrest him. When the officers didn’t immediately do so, he began shouting obscenities while stripping his shirt off and tossing his belt at them.

“Come and get me, you [expletive],” he allegedly said to the officers. Turning to a large crowd, he allegedly said, “They ain’t [expletive].”

Prader is said to have encouraged the crowd to turn on the police, defied instructions to contain himself or face arrest, and flailed his arms around while bumping into other, more peaceful revelers.

Police at that point moved in to arrest Prader, who allegedly struggled and kicked as they handcuffed him on the ground. Once at the District D-4 station, Prader allegedly hurled a wide variety of racist, homophobic, and misogynistic slurs at other officers in the booking area before attempting to flex his muscles and extend his middle finger at the booking photo camera.

Prader’s bail was set at $500 and he was ordered to return to court on July 15.
