On Saturday, December 21, detectives from the New Bedford Police Narcotics Unit seized 208 grams of fentanyl at a street value of $21,000 after a search at 42 Davis St. #3W.

As a result of the incident Jesus Jimenez-Lopez, 26, was arrested and charged with trafficking fentanyl in excess of 10 grams. He is due to be arraigned today.

The case was investigated by Det. Nathan Pimental and Det. Sgt. Jon Lagoa.

Fentanyl is responsible for 93% of all overdose deaths in Massachusetts this year.

At 7:48 a.m. yesterday Massachusetts State Police Troop D was notified that Braintree Police and Massachusetts Environmental Police were pursuing a black Honda Odyssey on Route 3A toward Hull. The operator of the Odyssey was not authorized to use the vehicle, which is owned by a relative from Rhode Island

An MSP cruiser joined the pursuit after the operator entered Rote 228, while another Trooper deployed a tire deflation device near the intersection of Routes 228 and 3 in Norwell.

The suspect avoided the tire deflation device by crossing into oncoming traffic, where he struck another vehicle and continued onto to Route 228. The operator of the car that was struck refused medical attention.

The suspect drove into a Park and Ride lot and then got onto Route 3 south. MSP Troop D Headquarters at this point ordered the pursuit terminated.

An MSP cruiser struck a guardrail and was damaged during the attempt to stop the suspect vehicle.

A helicopter and flight crew from the Massachusetts State Police Air Wing continued to monitor the suspect vehicle from the air and notified ground units that the suspect crossed the Sagamore Bridge onto the Cape.

The MSP Air Wing coordinated the deployment of a tire deflation device with patrols from State Police-Yarmouth. The device was set up on Route 6 eastbound in Yarmouth.

The suspect vehicle struck the tire deflation device and was damaged. The suspect then crashed into a wall at the intersection with Willow Street.

Troopers converged and took the driver and a passenger into custody.

The driver, JERMAINE O. OMOREGIE, 30, of Mattapan, charged with the following offenses:

1. Using a motor vehicle without authority;
2. Negligent operation of a motor vehicle;
3. Failure to stop for police;
4. Operating after license suspension or revocation; and
5. Marked lanes violation.

The passenger was a 17-year-old male from Mattapan. He is not currently charged but the investigation is ongoing.

Impaired driving patrols are about to increase around the city as we embark on the holiday season. The increase reflects New Bedford’s partnership in the national Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over (DSOGP) enforcement campaign. Funds for the increased patrols were provided by the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security’s (EOPSS) Office of Grants and Research (OGR).

“When an impaired driver is behind the wheel, everyone is at risk – passengers, pedestrians, bicyclists, and other motorists sharing the road” said New Bedford Police Chief Joe Cordeiro. “These funds will allow for us to provide for the very valuable impaired driving patrols over the holidays. Regardless of the type or level of impairment, if a driver is operating the vehicle in a dangerous manner, they will be stopped.”

“Arranging for a sober ride home before celebrating should be a part of everyone’s plans this holiday season,” said Jeff Larason, Director of the OGR Highway Safety Division. “We want all drivers to recognize the responsibility they have to drive safely and to avoid getting behind the wheel if they’re impaired. Remember – If you feel different, you drive different.”

Massachusetts Data (2013-2017):
– Marijuana was the most prevalent drug found in drivers involved in fatal crashes.
– 11 percent of drivers involved in fatal crashes were found with both alcohol and drugs in their system.
– 78 percent of impaired drivers in fatal crashes were men.
– 35 percent of drunk drivers involved in a fatal crash were 21-29 years old.
– The number of drivers involved in a fatal crash who were alcohol-impaired (BAC .08+) and had drugs in their system increased by 63 percent (35 to 57).
– From 2016 to 2017, alcohol-impaired driving fatalities decreased by 19 percent (148 to 120).
 
National Data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration:
– Approximately one-third of all traffic crash fatalities in the United States involve drunk drivers.  On average, more than 10,000 people have died each year (2013 to 2017) in drunk-driving crashes. To put it in perspective, that’s equal to about 20 jumbo jets crashing each year, with no survivors.  
– In 2017, one person was killed every 48 minutes by a drunk driver on our nation’s roads.
– In 2017, almost one in five children (14 and younger) killed in traffic crashes were killed in drunk-driving crashes.  Fifty-four percent of the time, it was the child’s driver who was drunk.
– Drugs were present in 43 percent of the fatally-injured drivers with a known test result in 2015, more frequently than alcohol was present.
– NHTSA’s 2013–2014 roadside survey found drugs in 22 percent of all drivers both on weekend nights and on weekdays.
– Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)—the chemical responsible for most of marijuana’s psychological effects—slows reaction times, impairs cognitive performance, and makes it more difficult for drivers to keep a steady position in their lane.
– Mixing alcohol and marijuana may dramatically produce effects greater than either drug on its own.

A 44-year-old Somerset woman died last night as a result of a dog mauling.

At around 5:20 p.m. on Friday, Somerset Police received a 911 call from the victim’s daughter. The 911 caller advised that her mother, Melissa Astacio, was having a seizure inside their home at 229 Lees River Avenue when the family dog​ began to attack.

When police and paramedics arrived on scene, police were forced to deploy a Taser on the dog before being able to assist the victim, who was then rushed to Rhode Island Hospital. The victim, who was known by her family and friends to suffer from seizures, was pronounced deceased by doctors at Rhode Island Hospital at 6:20 pm.

The dog, who is believed to be an 8-year-old Pit Bull, was secured at the scene of the incident by Swansea Animal Rescue and has been placed in quarantine at their facility in Swansea.

No criminal conduct or foul play is suspected at this time. Any inquiries regarding the process by which the dog will now go through must be made through the Town of Somerset.

The investigation remains active and ongoing at this time.

Due to the continued weather conditions, the overflow will be opened again tonight. All inquiries can be forwarded to Sister Rose House and 1-800-homeless.

All guests should plan to arrive for 6:00pm and the cutoff time will be 8:30pm. Dinner will be served between 6:00pm and 7:30pm and we wrap up between 9:45pm and 10pm.

As a reminder, the overflow will be activated on nights that the temperature is expected to be at 28 degrees or less. If the temperature were to drop below 28 at 4 or 5:00am rather than 7 or 8:00pm as an example, it doesn’t ensure that the overflow would open. All guests are expected to get up at 5:00 am and exit the premises by 6 or 7:00am.

Also, precipitation or snow alone doesn’t ensure that the overflow will open but are taken into consideration coupled with the temperatures. We also view the feel like temps, so as an example if the temperature was expected to be at 30 degrees but the wind-chill coupled with rain or snow presents or “feels like” 25 degrees then the overflow would be activated.

Every year we always have grey area days but we do the best in our judgment to make the right call. On days that we are expected to open an email blast will be sent by 12pm.

Also, 1-800-homeless will notify any callers if the overflow will be open on expected days. This will be our 4th season and with all the challenges at any given time, we are hopeful to continue safe operations and save lives, especially on the coldest nights. We also are looking for extra help, especially if the number of guests expected on any given night reaches 30. We also have 25 guests on the main floor so manpower is very important.

Hingham, MA – A driver was arrested for repeat impaired driving after she drove into the rear parking lot of the police station. While attempting to park her vehicle it struck the building but did not cause damage. She then attempted to enter the police station through a locked employee entrance.

On Monday, December 16, 2019 at 2:40pm an Officer was walking to his cruiser in the rear parking lot of the police station when he saw a vehicle enter the police station driveway from Central Street. There are visible signs posted in the driveway indicating it is for authorized personnel only. This driveway leads only to a secure parking area and entrance for police staff. The vehicle pulled into a parking space next to unmarked and marked police vehicles. It continued forward until it made contact with the building. The driver walked to the staff only entrance and tried to open the locked door. The Officer asked if he could help her. She said words that were mumbled. She said the State Police sent her because her car broke down. She changed her answer and said she was visiting family at the hospital, then claimed to be visiting a friend in West Roxbury and finally seeking marriage papers. The Officer asked if she knew where she was. She said in West Roxbury.

Her speech was slow, slurred and difficult to understand. She was swaying, her pupils were constricted, her eyes were bloodshot and she smelled of alcohol. She was also losing her balance.

Inside her vehicle Officers could see an empty beer can and several prescription bottles. She admitted to taking Gabapentin, Clonazepam and several vodka “nips” before driving. She attempted a series of field sobriety tests but was unable to complete them. At one point the Officer reached out to hold her because he feared she would fall over.

She was placed under arrest. She allegedly resisted being handcuffed and reportedly became combative. Three Officers brought her into the booking area. The vehicle a 1998 Chevy Blazer was towed.

Arrested was Kimberly A. Bentley, age 47, 3 Central Avenue, Hull, MA. She was charged with: 1) Operating Under the Influence of Alcohol (2nd Offense) 2) Operating Under the Influence of Drugs (2nd Offense) 3) Resisting Arrest 4) Negligent Operation 5) Unlicensed Operation (expired license status). Her prior OUI was in 2016.

She was held overnight at the Hingham Police station. She was arraigned at Hingham District Court on December 17 and ordered held on $500.00 bail. She is due to return to court January 10, 2020. ###
