At about 5:30 p.m. today, State Police from the Bourne Barracks received reports of a vehicle which had been racing, driving dangerously, and had struck a vehicle before crashing in the median on Route 495 South in Wareham.  The operator of the vehicle reportedly ran into the woods following the crash.  Trooper Shawn Harris and Trooper Terry Nugent arrived on scene and discovered a 2006 Honda Civic abandoned in the median.  They established that the operator of the vehicle which was struck by the Honda was uninjured.  Also arriving on scene to assist were Trooper Robert Bohn and Trooper Brian Galvin, both of the State Police K-9 Unit.

While Trooper Harris and the K-9 troopers tracked through the woods, Trooper Scott Brightman setup in a logical area based upon the direction of the track.  At around 6:20 p.m., Trooper Brightman observed a man fitting the description of the operator, emerge from the wood line near the Mill Pond Diner in Wareham.  The man, 44-year-old SEAN CUSHING of Wareham, was subsequently placed under arrest for Operating Under the Influence of Alcohol (6th Offense), Operating a Motor Vehicle with a License Revoked for being a Habitual Traffic Offender, Negligent Operation of a Motor Vehicle, Leaving the Scene of a Property Damage Crash, Possession of an Open Container of Alcohol in a Vehicle, Disorderly Conduct, Speeding, and Breakdown Lane Violation.

CUSHING was held on $5,000.00 cash bail pending his arraignment in Wareham District Court on Monday.
