Steven M. Sargent, Chief
On September 16th at about 2:20 PM, Worcester Police were dispatched to the area of 582 West Boylston St for a report of a suspicious male. Officers were told that the male was trying to get an unwilling female into his vehicle. Officers arrived and saw a male identified as Jose Palau, thirty-seven-years-old of Worcester, waiting outside of 582 West Boylston St. When the officer approached him, Mr. Palau got extremely confrontational and aggressive with the officer. Mr. Palau made several inappropriate gestures and lewd comments to the officer. A juvenile female stepped out of the business to flag down officers, prompting Mr. Palau to say, “That’s my girl!”
