Hull Police Investigating Verbal Threat Made at High School

HULL — Chief John Dunn reports that the Hull Police Department is investigating an apparent verbal threat that was allegedly made by a student at Hull High School Wednesday morning.

At approximately 9 a.m., it was reported to the high school main office that a student had made a threat to harm others at the school with a firearm. The student in question was identified, and the Hull Police Department was called immediately.

An investigation was launched by Hull Police and investigators searched the 15-year-old and his belongings, including his locker, and no weapons were found. The school was not placed in a lockdown because the student was with the School Resource Officer on duty following the report to the school office.

Police subsequently searched the suspect’s home with the consent of his guardian and no weapons were found there.

It was determined that there was no credible threat and no threat was made toward any specific staff members, students or faculty at the school.

The Hull Police Department takes all school threats seriously and will continue working closely with Hull Public Schools through the course of the investigation.

As of Wednesday morning no charges have been filed and the incident remains under active investigation.

“As with all school threats, this incident will not be taken lightly and will be thoroughly investigated,” Chief Dunn said. “We were fortunate to have our School Resource Officer on duty, who allowed us to quickly assess the situation and effectively deescalate things, leading to minimal disruption of the school day while ensuring student safety.”

Arlington Police Charge Man with Hate Crime after Incident at Cell Phone Store

ARLINGTON — Chief Frederick Ryan reports that the Arlington Police Department has arrested a man and charged him with a hate crime after a disturbing altercation inside a cellular phone shop.

ANDREW ROBERT DECARLO, AGE 36, OF SOMERVILLE was charged with Assault with Intent to Intimidate, as a hate crime under M.G.L c. 265, § 39.

On Tuesday, Sept. 18 at 8 p.m., Arlington Police were called a Verizon Wireless retail location on Massachusetts Avenue to investigate a disturbance.

Upon arrival, officers were met by a clerk who told police that a man had entered the store and asked the clerk to fix his cell phone. The employee asked the man if the phone had a Verizon Wireless subscription, and the man stated that it did not. The employee told the man that he could not help him because he was only allowed to handle or repair Verizon phones. The employee tried to direct the man to another store for further assistance, but the man allegedly became irate and started shouting racial and anti-immigrant epithets at the clerk.

According to the clerk, the man continued swearing and using racist language and was sweating, grinding his teeth, and clinching his fists as the suspect moved around the corner of the storefront counter and began moving towards employee in a menacing manner. This caused the clerk to fear for his safety.

With a description of the suspect in hand, officers began to search the area for the assailant. A short time later DECARLO was found and arrested after an on-scene investigation.

“The hard-working men and women of Arlington deserve to earn a living free of harassment and hatred,” Chief Ryan said. “Nothing gives an individual the right to put another person in fear for their safety, and I am very proud of the professionalism of our officers to find this individual. I would also point out the resiliency and bravery of the store employee in this case to report this incident for what it was: a hate crime.”

DECARLO is known to police. He is being held pending arraignment in Cambridge District Court Wednesday.

These are allegations. All suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty.
