Saugus Police Respond After Car Crashes into House

SAUGUS — Interim Chief Ronald Giorgetti reports that the Saugus Police Department responded to a crash early this morning where a car drove into a house.

At 12:22 a.m., Saugus Police received a 911 call reporting that a car had crashed into a residence at 258 Central St.

The Saugus Police and Fire Departments responded to the scene and found that a 2005 Chevy Equinox had driven into the front corner of the house.

The operator, a 29-year-old Saugus man, had exited the vehicle prior to first responders’ arrival. He was treated on scene and then transported to an area hospital with injuries that were not believed to be life-threatening.

Saugus Police issued a citation to the 29-year-old man for Unlicensed Operation of a Motor Vehicle. The vehicle was towed from the scene.

Residents were home at the time of the crash, but were not injured.

The house sustained significant damage and was deemed uninhabitable.

The crash remains under investigation by the Saugus Police Department, however a preliminary investigation indicates that alcohol or drugs did not play a factor.

ARLINGTON — When Arlington Police Officer Brandon Kindle got the emergency call for a woman in labor at her home, he acted without hesitation.

It was just before 5:30 a.m. on May 1 when Arlington Police received a 911 call from Ed McKinnon reporting that his wife was in labor at their house on College Avenue.

Officer Kindle was in the area and immediately responded to the residence. He entered to find Audra McKinnon laying on the kitchen floor in the process of giving birth. 

Using his training and experience, Officer Kindle calmly talked McKinnon through the process as he assisted her with delivering her baby. Maeve McKinnon, 8 1/2 pounds, was born right around 5:30 a.m.

Shortly thereafter, the Arlington Fire Department and Armstrong Ambulance arrived on scene and transported mom and baby to an area hospital. Both were later released and are doing well.

“Officer Kindle did an outstanding job on scene,” Chief Julie Flaherty said. “It was his professionalism, knowledge, training and quick response that ensured mom was able to safely deliver Maeve and keep both mom and baby safe until paramedics could arrive. He went above and beyond the call of duty and we’re extremely proud of the job he did.”

On Friday, May 10, Audra and Ed McKinnon brought Maeve to the Arlington Police Department to thank Officer Kindle for his help bringing their baby girl into the world.

“This was not a planned home delivery, so it was a kind of a scary situation,” said Audra, who is now a mom to three. “Officer Kindle was able to remain calm and professional, which was really needed. We’re very thankful he was there with us.”

Officer Kindle also received his pink stork pin.

HULL — Two Hull High School seniors were recently recognized during the ninth annual South Shore League Scholar-Athlete Awards Dinner.

Andrew DelGuidice and Leah Dunn received South Shore League Scholar Athlete Awards during a ceremony on May 8 at Southers Marsh Golf Club in Plymouth.

Each year, the South Shore League recognizes one male and female athlete from the 10 member schools. Recipients are chosen based on their academics, athletic participation, sportsmanship, leadership and citizenship. Each athlete has also successfully balanced an academic schedule while participating in sports and extracurricular activities.

DelGuidice has played football and baseball all four years and currently serves as the captain for the baseball team.

Dunn is also a four-sport athlete. She began playing high school field hockey in eighth grade, then transitioned to soccer, which she’s played all four years of her high school career. In 10th grade she tested out her abilities on the basketball team, along with outdoor track, which she continued to participate in and was named captain as a senior. This year, she also joined the indoor track team, where she was named captain.

“Andrew and Leah are exemplary athletes and students who are extremely deserving of this recognition,” Athletic Director Scott Paine said. “They excel both on the field and in the classroom and we wish them the best as they continue to pursue their academic and athletic endeavors after graduation.”

Hull Public Schools and Police Investigating after Student Lights Fire at Elementary School

⋅ Client News, Police News, School News ⋅ , , , , ⋅ 0 Comments

HULL — Superintendent Michael F. Devine and Police Chief John Dunn report that police and school officials are investigating after a Jacobs Elementary School student allegedly lit a small fire in a classroom this afternoon.

Jacobs Elementary School Principal Christine Cappadona and Hull School Resource Officer Leanne Marshalsea were informed this afternoon that at 2 p.m. a fifth grade student had used a box of matches to light a stack of tissues on fire in the corner of one the school’s technology classrooms.

The student in question was traveling between periods when he allegedly entered an empty classroom. When he was determined to be missing from class, a teacher went to investigate and saw the student exiting the classroom. Moments later, another teacher went into the classroom and discovered the fire. The teacher was able to grab the stack of tissues and put the fire out in the classroom sink.

The fire was very small in nature and was contained to just the stack of tissues. Because of this, the fire alarms did not sound and school maintenance staff were able to quickly vent and clean the classroom.

Administrators retrieved the matches from the student, who has been removed from the school on an emergency basis. The Hull Police Department is investigating, but because of the student’s age, criminal charges are not possible. Police are advising and offering resources to the school district.

No one was injured, and there was no damage to the building or any school materials.

“I want to commend teachers and staff at the Jacobs Elementary School for their swift actions that led to a quick resolution without injury or damage to school property,” Superintendent Devine said.
