A Boston protester who put used syringes in front of Gov. Charlie Baker’s house on Oct. 4 has been ordered to stay away from the governor’s Swampscott home.

Domingos DaRosa, a Roxbury activist who’s part of a group pushing for more action to clean up the “Methadone Mile” stretch of the South End, is now forbidden from going within 100 yards of Baker’s house on Monument Avenue in the North Shore town. DaRosa told the Herald he was served the restraining order late Thursday.

“We were doing a demonstration to bring the attention about what was happening in Roxbury,” said DaRosa, a 43-year-old longtime Boston activist and two-time city council candidate. “This is what hundreds of thousands of people witness every day.”

DaRosa insists he took steps to make sure no passersby would get stuck by some of the needles that he’d taken from the streets of Boston and placed on the sidewalk outside of Baker’s house, and that “no one stepped a foot on his property.”

Wouldn't want the governor to see any of the same things the people have to see on a daily basis.
