Two Men Charged With Taxi Jacking in Charlestown
Police chased two men who allegedly used a pellet gun to threaten a taxi driver.
Police arrested two men in Charlestown Sunday night after they allegedly assaulted a taxi driver with a pellet gun, stole his vehicle and fled the scene.
Officers responded to a report of a taxi being robbed near the intersection of Rutherford Avenue and Wellington Street around 6 p.m. Sunday night, according to Boston police.
The driver told police that one of the men, Shawn Hickey, 40 of Boston, pointed a gun at him and demanded money. Then, the driver said, he and the suspects got out of the taxi and a fight broke out.
During the fight, the driver said, Hickey shot him twice with pellets before jumping into the cab.
Police report that Hickey drove a short distance down Devens Street and struck two parked cars along the way. Hickey left the car and fled on foot, but not before retrieving a floral arrangement from the back of the car.
Meanwhile, the other man, Brian Cunneen, 21 of Lowell, fled the scene on foot.
Officers responding to the scene chased the suspects until catching both. Along the way, police reported that Hickey and Cunneen discarded a number of items, including a black-colored pellet gun.
Once the suspects were apprehended, police charged Hickey with armed carjacking, armed robbery, assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon (pellet gun) and leaving the scene after causing property damage.
Police charged Cunneen with armed carjacking and armed robbery.

Inmate : ya I shot it out with the cops after I robbed the TD bank they caught me with 2 Uzi 's and killed 6 others. Whatta r u in for junkie Shawn?
Shawn Hickey : oh I tried to rob a cab driver with a BB gun I shot himm twice almost broke his skin though but I got away with this neat floral arrangement!!! Ya it was a crazy caper it almost turned into a shoot out too!! I had plenty of BB's though. I would have broken like 5 or 6 cops skin if it came down to shoot'n it out !!! So they gave me 30 yrs and that was just for the floral arrangement !!!!! He's just as tough and smart as the other clown that couldn't shoot straight Jason Sousa who robbed a bank in Med sq with no mask then goes across the st for coffee and gets ID'd by the same teller he robbed 5 mins later. Ya can't even make this shit up. No like the ole days in Ctown when they carries REAL guns and were REALLY tuff not junkie wanna be's !! Hahahahah there ya go john your cuz'n!!! Shameful son!

And john BTW remember just because you made a movie and it's on 3 billion Tv's WORLD WIDE doesn't make u a winner! Your still a loser and a low life the way u fk'ed your crew over and everyone else to get wherever u think you are! So ya your makin money on other peoples hard work and sweat that you claim is your doing that makes you a scumbag and lower than your junkie cuzn. You see dude I've already did my hard time for things you would have went home to mommy to cry about but now I have a very successful Co that is only as good as the people who work for me so you think what u say means success ? I'm sorry to bust your bubble but you need integrity that u couldn't buy right now because no one that knows u will trust u . But I will leave you with one thing. I'd of put two in your head if you pulled your shit when the REAL men were runnin the town. !!!! You'd of been just another statistic son.!!!! And your skinny little junkie cousin tell him (if he ever gets out) not to bring a knife to a gunfight that's the 1st golden townie rule. !!!!!!!!

Many Hickey Goulds and Russell's still rome the streets of C=town so watch what say like the song sleep with 1 eye open. If you got something to say ....say it to some one's face not on a blog like a tough guy... maybe go by mey Uncle Bobby's whose home and tell him what ya think of us.lol. Shit Shawn was a solid "TOWNIE" what you worship in your self worthless Code Of Silence that(s) done our town sooo well. A Townie Is not a Gang member buddy it(s) some one proud of a community that stuck together....some by the looks of it obviously dead and gone...yeah Shawny(s) crime was bogus but it was because of the addiction and there(s0 no light at the end of the tunnel his brother is gone for life his sister Kelly overdosed....all on your codes (LIVE WITH THEM) As for me I love when people rent cheap space in there head and I get to play some mind tennis. You worthless comments in life will not compare to thousands not just Charlestown there is a big word out there (let me know if you ever need help crossing the Bridge) that tell me I inpire them and saved their lives with my film or the parent that thank me. I march on a single dad who once grew up in the projects and got out of the game....sorry if I don't meet your lame ass standard and who the fuck are you???? Look in the mirror you breath resentment and swallow pollution and hate. You about as clean as the oily(s). GOD BLESS!

Well john hickey there's a word called Karma and when it comes it comes with a vengeance looks like it started What were you saying about your good,respectable,hard working family? I need to keep one eye open? Well by the looks of it you are one again alone and you will do what you do best run, rob and prey on the weak and the addicted because you found out early on that they would be your ONLY captured audience and AGAIN that's taking advantage of these people and their sickness to sell a movie. Those are THE ONLY people renting it, if they only new the fraud John Hickey made money on they're weakness. Instead of coming clean and being a man and I'm sure some people would of gave u the benefit of the doubt, you decieded to screw EVERY SINGLE PERSON ( even the investors cut you off ) involved with the movie which BTW COULD HAVE BEEN good for everyone that "donated" their time. All so John Hickey could get to the top at everyone else's expense. So WHO YOU GONNA GET AFTER ME SON? In fact John I'll help you out ok? Imma gonna leave a dime on the bench down Eden St Park. You call as many family and friends with it to help you out to find me Ok? and I will sleep with one eye open just for you. And how dare u talk about what it means to be a Townie , how would u know u NEVER WERE but it sounds good to people who don't know you right John? I would love to be a fly on the wall just to hear the bullshit stories you bamboozle people with they must think your Jason Bourne!! haha

First off how did let a blog about Shawn turn into the Johnny Hickey hate blog idiot's , you sure know how to feed someones ego you seem to be trying to break this whole page is an Oxymoron at best. I really can't believe I'm about to feed into this trash page but I feel some with more than one brain-cell has to.
1. John Hickey is a Townie I remember him with his little brother he seemed to be a good kid smart and not dirty project kid even though he was.
2. He disappeared for some time til I ran into him in Billerica Jail him and Davey Matson were best of buds and cell mates holding it down for any Townie that came in strung out, then with my own two eyes I seen John punch some kids face off (literally) for messing with a younger Townie I won't mention his name God rest his soul. John lost his parole and got shipped out for that.
3. He did work with the Feds and he admits it with his head held high I asked him why and said the game is and never will be what it was, he never shit in his
own-back yard, so at least he has the balls to admit it and he's definitely not in WITSEC cuz seen him at a bar in Boston two weeks ago with a Shawn Hickey and some other guys so? I always believe there is two sides to every story and any-one who comments uglyness one event they were not there for is a complete clown. You all know so much about him but he's not from Charlestown LOL.

Like I wrote in the Herald,,,,,,,What Shawn did wasnt ok ,,,,,,,but he does have a mom,dad,sister,nephews,uncles,aunts,and a grandmother and family that do not need to see or read any of this.They do not deserve it.And when I say family I am not talking about John Hickey.I mean the family that knew him before he had a drug problem and has nothing to do with rats,or a movie,and are not junkies.I think his "family" has been through enough the past few days.

This is so sad. Sandra how did this get so bad? People have so much to say but let them see shawn with his nephews crawling all over him kissin him huggin him. Or outside in the front yard playin t ball with his god son and nephew. I may not have known shawn a that long or even that well, but from what ive heard hes a different person. And all this is alleged, it has to go to trial so everyone should can it cus shawn could come home tomorrow and then who knows right. I just think its sad everyone is sittin around laughin at the use of a pellet gun. Would you rather a real gun have been used and people seriously hurt, that wouldve made him tougher made him more respectful and more of a man, right? Well of thats what you think then lets see you do it, big talk big mouth but i dont see any big walkin just a bunch of pussies hiding behind a computer screen.
And john your movie kicked ass. Your family and i love you. Call me tomorrow i need to talk to you about some stuff.
Shawnie i love you, come home soon.

Hmmmmm funny wonder if he is out on bail big movie star director business man I'm no movie director but common sense would tell me not to put a movie based in charlestown out the same month as the town came out n expect to make money off my friends I met in p.c blocks although he was transferred to a lot of jails from pc to pc until hr hit the farm in lawrence n decided to escape right before the paperwork came in
