Leonard D. Lee, 24, was captured just minutes after he robbed A & B Package Store at 161 Pelham St., police said.

He allegedly entered the store around 9 p.m. and distracted the clerk by asking where he could find a $200 bottle of Hennessey. Instead, he grabbed two bottles of Moet champagne, which cost $38 a piece, and two bottles of tequila valued at nearly $100 and bolted.

Minutes later, Lee, whose last known address was in Lawrence, was arrested on Pelham Street a short distance from the store and charged with armed robbery, larceny of property valued under $250, threatening to commit murder, and unlawful possession of ammunition, police said.

Albania Deleon, 39, owner of Environmental Compliance Training of Methuen, sold training certificates to hundreds of undocumented workers who had not taken a mandatory training course from 2001 to 2006, prosecutors said. She then sent them out to remove asbestos, which can cause cancer, at job sites in New England, including Boston, Worcester, and the Fall River-New Bedford areas, and paid them under the table.

I knew Cypress Avenue when I lived in Methuen. It wasn't a utopia, but it never seemed this bad at the time. I hope this person pulls through and can testify against the assailants.
