On July 17, 2005, Kendall Petty and his girlfriend were driving in Boston when an argument broke out between them. Petty then threatened her life by putting a gun in her mouth. Luckily, his ex-girlfriend managed to get out of the car before she was seriously injured. Petty was featured on America’s Most Wanted on February 11, 2006.
At approximately 4:20 this afternoon, members of the Youth Violence Strike Force patrolling the Savin Hill area of Dorchester observed an individual fitting Petty’s description. Petty was seen driving alone in a motor vehicle and stopped at Deer Street & Roach Street and arrested without incident after being positively identified.
Kendall Petty, 39, of Roxbury will be arraigned in Dorchester District Court tomorrow for Operating a Motor Vehicle after License Revocation/Suspension, and two outstanding warrants: Threats & Assault by means of a Dangerous Weapon.
