Stoneham Police Seeking Suspect Following Alleged Assault On Officers

STONEHAM — Chief James McIntyre reports that the Stoneham Police Department is actively seeking a man who allegedly assaulted officers, then struck a police cruiser with his vehicle and fled the scene early this morning.

Stoneham Police will be requesting an arrest warrant against MATTHEW MACINNES, AGE 33, OF TEWKSBURY, on numerous charges and violations, including:

  • Assault And Battery On A Police Officer (two counts)
  • Resisting Arrest
  • Malicious Destruction Of Property Over $250
  • Leaving The Scene Of A Property Damage
  • Negligent Operation of a Motor Vehicle
  • Failure To Stop For Police
  • Operating To Endanger
  • Marked Lanes Violation
  • Failure To Slow
  • Failure To Yield (two counts)

At approximately 2:15 a.m., police responded to a reported disturbance on Main Street. Upon arrival, officers conducted a preliminary investigation and informed MACINNES that he would be placed under arrest as a result of their investigation. At that time, MACINNES allegedly punched one of the officers as they attempted to take him into custody, and then fled on foot.

Officers pursued MACINNES toward the intersection of Wilson and Parkway Roads, where he entered his parked truck and locked himself inside as an officer parked his marked cruiser behind the truck. MACINNES then allegedly accelerated into a cruiser parked in front of him, pushing it into the intersection, before making a right and driving away at a high rate of speed.

Police pursued MACINNES onto Interstate 93, but called off the chase in the interest of safety after speeds reached in excess of 100 mph.

Stoneham Police then contacted the Massachusetts State Police to issue a BOLO for MACINNES, who remains at large.

If anyone knows the whereabouts of MACINNES, they are urged to contact Stoneham Police at 781-438-1215.

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

NORTH READING — Chief Michael P. Murphy reports that arrest warrants have been issued for two men after an alleged drug manufacturing operation was uncovered when police officers and firefighters responded to a house fire last week.

After an investigation by the North Reading Police Department, LOWELL NAVARRO, AGE 28, and JACOB STANISH, AGE 31 , BOTH OF NORTH READING have been charged with:

  • Unlawful Manufacturing of a Class B Controlled Substance (MDMA)
  • Conspiracy to Violate Drug Laws

Police are currently seeking both suspects.

On Tuesday, Feb. 7, at 11:45 p.m., North Reading Police and Fire units responded to 6 Travelled Way for a reported structure fire. Police officers arrived minutes later to find the house fully engulfed in flames. Officers noted a strange odor coming from the house and plumes of thick black smoke, neither of which are typically associated with a house fire.

On scene, North Reading Police Officers and North Reading Firefighters quickly determined, from their training and experience, that there was a possible drug manufacturing operation in the home. Out of an abundance of caution, a hazardous materials team and the Drug Enforcement Administration’s Clandestine Drug Lab Response Team were summoned to respond.

Once the flames were quelled and a search warrant could be obtained, investigators made their way inside the home and located a hidden, unfinished room with a venting system and glass laboratory case. Police also found chemicals as well as other evidence pointing to a drug manufacturing operation used to create MDMA/Ecstasy.

Given the danger of the chemicals found in the home, and the close proximity of houses in the neighborhood, Chief Murphy praised the quick work of first responders to arrive quickly and put out the fire.

“This was an extremely dangerous situation, in which a drug lab was operating in a residential neighborhood with houses stacked closely to one another,” Chief Murphy said. “We are very fortunate that no one was injured or killed.”

Chief Murphy encourages parents to have frank and earnest discussions with their children about MDMA and drug use.

“Unfortunately, there’s a demand for drugs like Ecstasy. If people knew the noxious chemicals that went into drugs like Ecstasy and some other synthetic drugs, they would think twice before using it,” Chief Murphy said. “The home in question was full of deadly, burning chemicals that presented an extremely dangerous situation for first responders and neighbors.”

The origin and cause of the fire remain under investigation.
