QUINCY, Mass. (AP) — An actress acclaimed for her tough-talking performance in the 2007 film "Gone Baby Gone" is facing charges after she and another man allegedly broke into a neighbor's apartment south of Boston and then tried to blame it on a black man, police said Tuesday.

Jill Quigg, 35, of Quincy, who played the role of Dottie in the movie directed by Ben Affleck, was arrested Friday after police were called about a break-in at a Quincy apartment, according to police.

Quincy Lt. Jack Sullivan said Quigg and Georgios Keskinidis, 28, of Lynn, were stopped near the apartment and told police that a black man had broken into it and was running off with a 32-inch flat screen television and a new computer printer.

"That's when the suspects said they all of a sudden became crime fighters," Sullivan said.

Sullivan said the pair told police they chased the man as he dropped the items and got into a getaway vehicle. The pair also told police they kept the items in Quigg's apartment.


However, Sullivan said witnesses at the scene identified Quigg and Keskinidis as the ones leaving the apartment.

Quigg and Keskinidis, pleaded not guilty Monday in Quincy District Court to breaking and entering during the day, larceny of more than $250 and wanton destruction of property worth more than $250.

Both were released on personal recognizance

How is that for a mental picture…  a black man running with a 42” television under one arm and a computer printer under the other, in hot pursuit by these two idiots! "C'mon people!"

There are at least 2 disturbing questions left behind in this fiasco; 1. How damaging is this trend to the profiling and stereotyping of the African American race? 2. If a black man had indeed been charged for this crime, would he have been; ‘released on his own recognizances?’
