Two charged in Friday the 13th armed robbery at Pike/Boylston

The two men arrested following a reported gunpoint theft of a bottle of vodka from a man walking on the street at Pike and Boylston early on Friday the 13th have been charged with first degree robbery.

Cordero Duckworth, 27, and Anthoney Moss, 29, have each been charged in the crime and are now being held on $250,000 bail.

Police say the men are being investigated “for ties to other recent crimes” after officers found “they were carrying a gun, a ski mask and gloves” during the Friday the 13th incident involving a bottle of Cinna-Sugar Twist vodka.

The victim told police he had just been kicked out of his girlfriend’s house and was trying to sort out what to do next. His first move? Buying a bottle of flavored vodka. Things got worse when he encountered two men who police say were Duckworth and Moss:

Police tracked down Duckworth and Moss nearby and found Moss was carrying a holstered 9mm pistol. The victim identified both as the men who had held him up. Police say they found a bottle of Cinna-Sugar Twist (inaccurately identified as “Brown Sugar” in the police report above) in Duckworth’s backpack. Duckworth told police the victim offered to sell him the vodka and mushrooms and that he had only purchased the booze. He couldn’t explain how the victim knew Moss was packing a pistol. Police say Moss claimed not to have been involved and to only have known Duckworth as “O.”

According to prosecutors, Moss does not have any prior felony convictions. Duckworth was convicted for second degree manslaughter in 2007 and a drug charge in 2014.

Those are some real tough guys, they are. Just the hard-core stuff. And none of those pussy cocktails, neither. Straight-up, dammit.
