A Quincy Police Department patch
Sunday over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend just past was a hot one in Quincy but not for holiday season shopping as Quincy has precious little in the way of retail these days.
In particular, Quincy Quarry News’ primary Police Scanner Citizen Monitor picked up all sorts of radio chatter as well as all but constantly.
While most involved more minor problems, there was one troubling incident of note later in the afternoon on Sunday.

The Citizen Scanner Monitor heard of someone out and about Washington Street threatening to shot people as well as then witnessed the person subjected to a well-staged police response at a pizza and sub shop on Washington Street near Washington Street’s intersection with McGrath Highway.
As near as could be gathered, the threatening individual’s mother had reached out to police as her son was apparently in the midst of a crisis.
Police then followed with a measured response and so avoided an unfortunate tragedy.
“Attention all personnel, attention all personnel: Randle McMurphy is back …”

Additionally, the individual was then placed in appropriate custody so as to better discern next steps instead of held for criminal charges over making distressing threats.
