Police said that under Boyles’
supervision, the children were fre­
quently placed in the foster home
of a Boyles acquaintance, so that
they would be available for sexual
abuse.
During sentencing, one of his
victims looked directly at him and

Police said because Vaida re­
fused to obey num erous com ­
mands, officers deployed at least
two less lethal beanbag rounds.
The Bureau’s Special Emergency
Reaction Team was activated to
arrest him, and SERT medics pro­
vided the initial medical assistance.
Initial information indicated that
there might have been a second
suspect involved in either the
shooting or foot pursuit, but detec­
tives now believe Vaida was the
sole suspect involved.
