Kingston Police arrest 3 after allegedly beating elderly man with a 2×4 piece of lumber

“Shortly after midnight going into today 8/4/23, the Kingston Police Department received a call for a party that had been seriously assaulted.

The injuries were caused when the victim was beaten by multiple suspects and struck multiple times with what appeared to be a 2×4 piece of lumber. The victim was transported to the hospital with significant injuries, including what appears to be a serious head injury and several broken bones. The victim remains at the hospital at this time.

After an extensive investigation throughout the day, members of both the patrol and detective’s division were able to identify the suspects and arrest three adult males at three separate residences. One party was arrested without incident in Carver. Two other suspects who were at their respective addresses failed to answer the door for our officers and appeared to be home and evading contact with law enforcement. Subsequently, warrants were requested and granted by Plymouth District Court.

Residents of a small residential street off of Main Street may have seen several cruisers in the area as well as a combination of plain clothes and uniformed officers surrounding two nearby homes at approximately 7pm today. Officers utilized a shield and loudly announced their presence.

At the first residence, officers informed the suspect of the warrant and ordered him to open the door on several occasions. The suspect failed to do so and the door was forcibly opened by our detectives. The resident was then taken into custody without incident. Upon the forcible entry into the first residence, the other suspect then exited his home and was taken into custody without incident.

All three suspects are charged with:

• Assault and Battery with a Dangerous Weapon on a victim 60+
• Assault and Battery resulting in Serious Bodily Injury on victim 60+
• Assault and Battery on a victim over 60+ years old
• Assault and Battery with a Dangerous Weapon
• Assault and Battery with a Dangerous Weapon With Serious Bodily Injury
• Assault and Battery

The suspects will be arraigned on Monday morning at Plymouth District Court and are assumed innocent until proven guilty.”-Kingston Massachusetts Police Department.
