“Legendary Boston crime boss James “Whitey” Bulger, who has been on the run for more than a decade, was arrested Wednesday in Santa Monica, multiple law enforcement sources told The Times,” Andrew Blankstein and Robert J. Lopez report. “Bulger, 81, has been the subject of several books and was the inspiration for ‘The Departed,’ a 2006 Martin Scorsese film starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon and Jack Nicholson.”
