Stuckey, who spent the last two months in the L.A. County Jail, has a long criminal history that includes active warrants for his arrest in four states. In addition, Amtrak police added him to their 'watch list' this fall, after he allegedly used stolen credit cards to travel around the country by rail on multiple occasions.
The suspect's return to Cambridge marks a coup for HUPD, which was angered by his probationary release after he pleaded guilty to five charges in connection with larcenies in the Yard,
"It's really a slap-in-the-face," one officer who asked to remain anonymous said at the time.
The department added extra personnel and increased patrols in an attempt to prevent Stuckey from committing additional crimes.
But with Stuckey back in Cambridge, HUPD spokesperson Peggy A. McNamara said the department is hopeful he will receive a stronger punishment when he appears later on this month in Middlesex District Court.
