Follow Up
Oct. 16, 4:08 p.m. - An officer was sent to Bank of America on Littleton Road after tellers reported an allegedly intoxicated man driving a black SUV with a Boston Bruins bumper sticker had just left after an incident.
Police caught up with the man at the Regency, but could not detect any signs of alcohol on his breath or mannerisms. The man told the officer that he was upset after being told he could not cash a check with Bank of America until paying a $6 service fee per check, eventually yelling at staff there.
He became enraged due to the fact that he was a regular customer, and said that he was not close enough to the bank personel where they would have been able to smell alcohol on his person, so their testimony was inaccurate.
The manager at the bank later told police the man was no longer welcome there, to which the man responded that he would use other branches in the future.

7:51 am the 15 year old is driving - so many things wrong with that. Why weren't they in school? Where did a 15 year old get a car??? Hope they didn't hurt anyone at the "crash".

Citizen's Bank is $7.00 to cash a check a check from one of their customers if you don't use their bank - I walked out with check in hand.

This is just another why they nickel and dime their customers leave the big banks and go to the smaller ones or a credit union
