At approximately 2:40 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 26, Bridgewater Police received a wireless 911 call from Herkins Francois stating that he and his wife, Latonia Francois, were on the way to the hospital because Latonia was in labor and that they may not make it to the hospital in time.
Herkins Francois was instructed to pull off of Route 24 onto Pleasant Street in Bridgewater. He pulled into the Home Depot parking lot, located at 1453 Pleasant St. (intersection of Routes 24 and 104), and Bridgewater Police officers and Bridgewater Fire Paramedics were dispatched to the address.
Officers Clark and Kingsley arrived and assisted Latonia with the delivery of Herkins Xavier Francois Jr. just prior to the arrival of paramedics. Paramedics then treated the healthy mother and newborn, a boy, and transported the two to the hospital.
