Patrol Highlights

In October, officers responded to Bucknam St at Cleveland Av around
5:45pm for a report of potential drug activity reported by a concerned
neighbor. When officers arrived, they confronted 3 males. One of the
males was found to be in possession of a loaded ghost gun. He was
placed in custody without incident. He was arraigned in Malden District
Court for firearms related charges.

While conducting routine patrol in August, officers stopped a motor vehicle that had
failed to stop at a stop sign. The operator of the motor vehicle was unlicensed,
resulting in a tow of the vehicle. During tow inventory, officers recovered a large
quantity of drug paraphernalia linked to possession and distribution offenses.

Officers conducted a traffic stop in early May after
witnessing a motor vehicle travel though a red light. The operator
was unlicensed and had two active warrants, resulting in a tow and
subsequent inventory of the vehicle. During inventory search,
officers located a substance consistent with Cocaine hidden in a
hollowed-screw driver along with a large sum of cash. The operator
was charged with possession with intent to distribute.

Additional Incidents of Recognition

• In September, officers identified a stolen vehicle, leading to the arrest of 5 individuals and the
recovery of a magazine and ammunition.
• Dispatch relayed to patrol in late October that there was potentially a women in distress in the
backseat of a vehicle traveling through Everett. Officers were able to identify the vehicle and
initiate a traffic stop. Two individuals were wanted out of Rhode Island for kidnapping and
were subsequently arrested for kidnapping, outstanding warrants, and drug possession.
• In late June, the late night patrol operations team made a quick apprehension of a breaking
and entering suspect at the Dunkin Donuts on Main St. The suspect arrested is believed to be
linked to numerous other breaks in the Main St area during that time.
