Arrests

On August 13, 2018 at 8:01 p.m. Officer DeBernardi was on patrol on Washington Street near Woodlawn Ave when he observed a Mercury sedan and conducted a query of the vehicle’s registration which showed it did not have a valid inspection sticker. He stopped the vehicle and spoke with the operator and passenger in the vehicle and asked for their identification. A query of the passenger’s information showed an active warrant issued by the Lynn District Court for motor vehicle related charges. He was taken into custody, transported to the station, booked in the usual manner, afforded all rights and later released on $300 bail.

On August 18, 2018 at 6:30 p.m. Officer Dixon was stopped at a traffic light on Worcester Street and observed a BMW sedan without a front license plate. He conducted a query of the vehicle’s registration which showed the registration came back to a Range Rover. He stopped the vehicle on Worcester Street near Route 128 and to speak with the operator. While approaching the vehicle Officer Dixon observed that the operator had an object in his right hand and observed him place the object between his right leg and the center console. A query of the vehicle identification number
showed that the BMW was not registered or insured. While conducting an inventory of the vehicle Officer Dixon located a small unlabeled plastic pill bottle between the center console and driver seat. The bottle contained marijuana, Trazodone and Oxycodone. The driver did not possess a prescription for Trazodone or Oxycodone and indicated that he did not take any prescription medications. He was taken into custody, transported to the station, booked in the usual manner, afforded all rights and later released on $250 bail.
