BOSTON — A North End restaurant owner accused of a brazen shooting outside a popular pastry shop in 2023 had his bail revoked in court on Tuesday.
55-year-old Patrick Mendoza was re-arrested over the weekend after Boston Police said he cut off his GPS bracelet and threatened to injure someone.
“Officers recovered Mendoza’s electronic monitoring device directly from his person, which appeared to be cut,” police wrote in the report. “Officers asked Mendoza why he cut the bracelet and he replied, ‘I’m tired and sick of it.’”
