Cambridge Police report on an incident shortly before 1 a.m. yesterday in Kendall Square, involving a motorized scooter and a driver who "failed to stop and was observed from a distance operating in a reckless manner while making obscene hand gestures at officers."

Wouldn't you know it, the guy's scooter just died on him as he got to Mass Ave. and Memorial Drive, police say. Officers caught up with Amara Kenneh, 39, of Roxbury and arrested him on a charge of failure to stop for police. He was also issued a ticket for numerous motor-vehicle infractions, police say.

Innocent, etc.
