You can find more information by looking into court cases. You may not be able to view the entire case online, but, more importantly, you will be able to see a record of what and where to get it from.

Public record sites such as this help you with these types of searches. There is a free search above under Massachusetts Free Court Records Search. This will give you a quick free court search but does not guarantee to cover all records. The data goes back to 2014 and covers federal, circuit, and appellate cases.

Crime mapping can be specified to look up arrests or criminal activity by address or block. Although the records of arrests or incidents are public, some are easier to access than others.
