This evening, WBZ and Fox News reported that the Varsity Boys Lacrosse coach, Frank Arena, had been suspended.  

It's alleged that he "fired lacrosse balls on the players to punish them" for the recent 14-1 loss to Nashoba at this past Tuesday's game.

Good Evening,

We are calling for the Westborough Police Department to inform you of a suspicious incident that occurred at approximately 5:45 PM at the corner of Adams Street and Mountain View Drive. A fourteen year old girl, who was walking her dog, was approached by a black midsized sedan with tinted windows. The operator of the vehicle was described as being approximately 30 years old, bald, with a goatee, wearing a white tee shirt. He pulled up to the girl, told her that he was lost and needed directions. He asked for her name and then asked her to get in his vehicle to help him locate his friend's house. She backed away from the vehicle. At the same time, another vehicle approached the area, the driver of the black sedan turned around and left the area on Adams Street towards Ruggles Street.

If you have any information regarding this incident or if you are aware of similar incidents please contact the Westborough Police Department at 508-366-3060.
