Boston Police report arresting a man for attempting to make money by going up to cars stopped at Arlington and Boylston streets and cleaning their windshields with a squeegee.

Officers on patrol nabbed Patrick Walker, 34, on a charge of "aggressive panhandling" after spotting him washing a van's windshield around 11:25 a.m. yesterday, police say:

Officers immediately recognized this individual as an individual who has been warned on several occasions about washing the windshields of cars in traffic. This action is in direct violation of the City Ordinance drafted against Aggressive Solicitation. The individual in question could not claim ignorance of the law given the fact that he had been issued both verbal and written warnings about his actions in the past.

Walker was also charged with possession of the crack pipe police say the officers saw him toss to the ground when they moved in.

Innocent, etc.
