The following information comes from the Arlington Police Department. When arrests are mentioned, it does not indicate a conviction.

Two Boston men were allegedly caught Friday night with tourniquets around their arms and a syringe in hand getting ready to shoot up at Hill’s Hill.

Police found the men at the Summer Street park while on patrol at about 9:20 p.m., according to the police report.

Gregory C. Gould, 49, of Farrington Street, Boston, was charged with trespassing and possession of a Class B drug. He also had warrants out for his arrest for trespassing on state property, possession of a Class A drug and defrauding an innkeeper of over $100, according to police.

Joshua L. Burke, 38, of Queensbury Street, Boston, was charged with trespassing and possession of a Class E drug.

The men were charged with trespassing because the park closes at 9 p.m., according to police. Police were on patrol because “Hill’s Hill is a regular spot for underage parties to drink and narcotics,” according to the report.

The men had drug paraphernalia on them, according to police, including a number of syringes, one of which contained a clear liquid, lighters, baggies and a glass pipe often used for smoking methamphetamine and crystal meth. Police also found a prescription pill on Burke and a rock of crack cocaine at the scene, according to the report.
