A 31-year-old man with listed addresses in Fall River, Taunton and Providence who committed at least eight house breaks in one week in late July of 2015 was sentenced last week in Fall River Superior Court to serve six to nine years in state prison, Bristol County District Attorney Thomas M. Quinn III announced.

James Stanzione pleaded guilty to indictments charging him with eight counts of larceny from a building, six counts of unarmed burglary and two counts of breaking and entering.

All the housebreaks occurred between July 21, 2015 and July 26, 2015. Four of the break-ins occurred in Seekonk, two occurred in Swansea and another two occurred in Fall River.

The defendant was eventually arrested after surveillance images taken from some of the robberies were published in the media. A Bristol County House of Corrections employee identified the defendant from the images, and told police the defendant had just been released from jail about a month prior to the house-breaks.

The defendant had previously served jail time at least three times on past breaking and entering convictions.

The case was prosecute by Assistant District Attorney Jeanne Veenstra and the state prison sentence was imposed by Judge Raffi Yessayan. The judge also placed the defendant on supervised probation for an additional two years.

“The defendant has a terrible record of breaking into people’s home and invading their sense of privacy and security,” District Attorney Quinn said. “Simply put, this defendant is a menace who should be kept off the streets for as long as possible.”

A 24-year-old Brockton man, who robbed three separate convenience stores on the same night in July of 2015, was convicted at trial and sentenced to serve six to eight years in state prison last Thursday in Fall River Superior Court, Bristol County District Attorney Thomas M. Quinn III announced today.

Amadeu Filho pleaded guilty to indictments charging him with three counts of armed and masked robbery.

His co-defendants in the case, Erickson Gomes and Jose Gomes, were convicted of the same charges in February 2018 and are currently serving five-year state prison terms.

In the early morning hours of July 11, 2015 (between approximately 3:50 a.m. and 4:45 a.m.), the co-defendants, armed with knives and wearing masks, committed robberies at three different businesses: first, at the CVS Pharmacy on Kempton Street in New Bedford; second, at the Hess Gas station at 943 County Street in Taunton; and, third, at Junior’s Convenience Store on South Main Street in Freetown. The modus operandi for each robbery was essentially the same: Erickson Gomes (wearing a blue hood and white mask) and Amadeu Filho (wearing a gray hood and black mask) entered the stores and, while holding the employees at knifepoint, stole cash from the registers.

Additionally, Filho dragged the CVS worker with a knife pressed to her back to the back office before stealing the money, and one of the men punched the Hess worker in the face when they demanded he open a safe. Despite the disguises, surveillance videos from each store were sufficiently clear to show that the same two men committed each robbery. They stole approximately $850 from CVS, several packs of Backwoods cigars and between $100 and $200 from Hess, and about $325 from Junior’s Convenience Store. Jose Gomes acted as the driver. Footage from the Taunton Hess showed Erickson and Filho running to a waiting car after that robbery, and a witness in Freetown saw a car with its headlights off driving away from Junior’s Convenience Store following the robbery.

Lakeville Police Sgt. Michael Dwyer overheard the radio dispatches regarding the robberies in Taunton and Freetown. He went to Joe’s Gas on Route 18 to check the property, but the store was still closed. Sgt. Dwyer exited the lot and checked a fenced-area nearby. There, he found a silver car with Rhode Island plates. Sgt. Dwyer observed defendant Filho pretending to be asleep in the front passenger seat. In the back seat, he saw in plain view a large amount of money scattered over the seat, a black knife, and a white plastic bag of money. After Dwyer “woke up” Filho by calling out and knocking on the window, Filho explained that he had been at a club with Jose Gomes and gotten drunk, although he did not seem intoxicated. He also claimed he did not know who owned the car. When police removed Filho from the car to speak with him, Dwyer looked where he had been sitting and observed black pants, a gray hoody, a black glove, and a black mask on the floor.

Taunton and Freetown Police sent Sgt. Dwyer still photos from the robberies and Dwyer recognized the clothing in the images as the items that were in the car. In the car, police also observed several packs of Backwood cigars, a white Hess bag containing large rolls of cash, and a white ripped pantyhose. Police located a second knife in the grassy area of the adjacent property. Police started receiving 911 calls about two men running in the woods not far from the area. The area, which includes the Ocean Spray headquarters and surrounding property, is heavily wooded and contains swamps and marshland. Police set up a perimeter around this area in order to find Erickson and Jose. Following an extensive search of the woods which lasted over an hour, police located and arrested Erickson near Cross Street at about 7:25 am. A short time later, after a foot pursuit, police located Jose, shoeless, behind Ocean Spray headquarters.

Defendant Filho was held in custody from the date of arrest on July 11, 2015, until a $50,000 cash bail was posted on August 1, 2016. After his release and pending trial in this matter, the defendant was arrested on June 29, 2017, for drug and gun offenses in Brockton. Police executed a search warrant at the defendant’s residence after three controlled buys from the defendant and his girlfriend. Upon entry, the police located the defendant, his girlfriend, his mother and two young children inside. Inside the defendant’s bedroom, the police located approximately 249 grams of heroin, approximately 42 grams of a cutting agent, $10,000 cash and two handguns with ammunition. On June 29, 2017, the Commonwealth’s motion to revoke the defendant’s bail on this case was allowed. Subsequently, the defendant was indicted by a Plymouth County Grand Jury for trafficking heroin in 200 grams or more, possession of a firearm without an FID card (2 counts), and firearm violation with 1 prior violent/drug conviction (2 counts). The case in Plymouth Superior Court is still pending. On March 19, 2018, the bail revocation period on this case expired and the defendant was released on the same $50,000 cash bail after a bail hearing.

On May 10, 2019, at 11:50 pm, ten days before the trial date, the defendant was allegedly involved in a hit and run accident in Brockton.

The jury trial before Judge William Sullivan lasted one week and was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Carolyn Morrissette.

“I am very pleased jury held the defendant accountable for his violent armed robbery spree that occurred in three separate communities. Unfortunately, the defendant posted the $50,000 cash bail and then committed a serious drug and gun crime in Plymouth County. He was later released again after the bail revocation time period expired,” District Attorney Quinn said. “This case highlights the need for bail reform because the defendant never should have been released after committing the second crime. He clearly posed a danger to the community. It is no surprise he was arrested again 10 days before the trial. I would like to thank Lakeville Sgt. Michael Dwyer whose alertness and efforts led to the arrest of the defendant and co-defendants.”

About Miss Massachusetts
The Miss Massachusetts Scholarship Pageant is a preliminary to the Miss America Program, one of the nation’s leading achievement programs and the world’s largest provider of scholarship assistance for young women. Last year, the Miss America Organization and its state and local organizations made available more than $45 million in cash and scholarship assistance. For more information, go to www.missmass.org or to Miss Massachusetts MAO on Facebook.

On Sunday morning at about 10:15 a.m., a female was out walking with her baby on 11th Street near Waban Avenue. During the course of her walk she observed a male on East Boulevard, and then a few moments later while on 11th Street the male came up from behind and physically accosted her before running off. The victim was not injured.

The victim was able to snap a picture of him fleeing on 11th street toward the East Boulevard area. Officers under the command of Sgt. Kevin Reilly canvased the area extensively, however, could not locate the suspect initially.

Officer James White remembered an individual he had dealt with recently who fit the description of the suspect. With the assistance of members of the Detective Division, the suspect, a juvenile male, was interviewed and subsequently placed under arrest.

He is charged with indecent assault and battery and accosting another person.

State Fire Marshal Peter J. Ostroskey and Massachusetts Firefighting Academy Deputy Director Joseph Klucznik presented certificates of completion to members of the Call/Volunteer Recruit Firefighter Training Class #76. The ceremony took place on Thursday, June 27, 2019 at 7:00 p.m. at Kuss Middle School in Fall River, MA.

The Call/Volunteer Firefighter Recruit Training program is unique in that it delivers a standard recruit training curriculum, meeting national standards, on nights and weekends to accommodate the schedule of firefighters in suburban and rural areas. Bringing the training closer to the firefighters often means, more firefighters can participate. It uses an online eBlended format that has students doing more work outside of class and taking quizzes online. This allows students more time to practice training skills with instructors and to better control their own workloads and time commitments.

32 Graduates from 15 Fire Departments
The 32 graduates, five women and 27 men, represent the 15 fire departments of Acushnet, Avon, Berkley, Dartmouth District #1, Dartmouth District #3, Dighton, Fairhaven, Freetown, Lakeville, Marion, Plympton, Raynham, Rehoboth, Swansea and Westport.

Today’s Fire Department Does Much More than Fight Fires
Today’s firefighters do far more than fight fires. They are the first ones called to respond to chemical and environmental emergencies, ranging from the suspected presence of carbon monoxide to a gas leak. They may be called to rescue a child who has fallen through the ice or who has locked himself in a bathroom. They rescue people from stalled elevators and those trapped in vehicle crashes. They test and maintain their equipment, ranging from self-contained breathing apparatus to hydrants, hoses, power tools, and vehicles.

In this Massachusetts Firefighting Academy program, they learn all these skills and more from certified fire instructors who are also experienced firefighters. Students learn all the basic skills they need to respond to fires, to contain and to control them. They also receive training in public fire education, hazardous material incident mitigation, flammable liquids, stress management, firefighter self-rescue, and vehicle extrication. The intensive program includes classroom instruction, physical fitness training, firefighter skills training and live firefighting practice.

Basic Firefighter Skills
Students receive classroom training in all basic firefighter skills. They practice first under non-fire conditions and then during controlled fire conditions. To graduate, students must demonstrate proficiency in life safety, search and rescue, ladder operations, water supply, pump operation, and fire attack. Fire attack operations range from mailbox fires to multiple-floor or multiple room structural fires.

Graduates have completed 240 hours of training on nights and weekends. Upon successful completion of this program, all students have met the standards of National Fire Protection Association 1001. In addition, they have the ability to become certified to the level of Firefighter I and II and Hazardous Materials First Responder Operational Level by the Massachusetts Fire Training Council, which is accredited by the National Board on Fire Service Professional Qualifications.

A New Bedford man was arrested on Thursday for operating a dirt bike on a public way while possessing a Class B drug near the Third District Court in downtown New Bedford.

New Bedford police approached the man who then fled on the dirt bike. While being pursued, the man fled on foot but was arrested shortly after.

22-year old Jose Montanez of New Bedford is being charged with reckless operation of a recreational vehicle, failure to stop for police, operation a recreational vehicle on a public way, and possession of a class B drug.

I don’t blame New Bedford police officers for arresting people for marijuana distribution. While marijuana is legal for consumption, It’s still against the law to sell without a retail license from the state.

On Thursday, 18-year old Ryan Chase of New Bedford was arrested on County Street for distributing over two ounces of marijuana. It’s actually legal to gift less than an ounce of marijuana, but since he was allegedly selling more than an ounce he’s now facing charges of possession to distribute, distribution and conspiracy to violate drug laws.

New Bedford is still one of the only cities south of Boston without an approved or operating retail marijuana store, so New Bedford residents have to travel to places like Fall River or Wareham to purchase marijuana legally or buy it through New Bedford’s black market.
