Bridgewater Police Arrest Man on Multiple Charges Following Break-In and Struggle With Officers

BRIDGEWATER — Chief Christopher Delmonte reports that the Bridgewater Police Department arrested a man who allegedly broke into an apartment building Monday night and charged him with assaulting multiple officers who were trying to detain him.

MARC RICHARD PARKER, AGE 37, who is currently homeless, was charged with:

  • Breaking and Entering in the Nighttime for a Felony
  • Trespassing
  • Resisting Arrest
  • Assault and Battery with a Dangerous Weapon (Three Counts)
  • Assault and Battery on a Police Officer
  • Malicious Destruction of Property Over $250
  • Malicious Destruction of Property Under $250 (Two Counts)
  • Possession of a Class B Drug (Suboxone)

At approximately 8:30 p.m., Bridgewater Police received a 911 call stating that a man was trying to kick in the front door of an apartment building.

Officers responded to 57 Central Square where they found that the front door had been kicked in.

PARKER, who is known to police, was observed walking out of the door and officers attempted to detain him, though PARKER actively resisted their efforts. More officers responded to the scene and he became more combative and violent.

At one point, PARKER bit an officer’s leg and attempted to bite the face of another. He also kicked multiple officers while wearing steel toed boots. An officer subsequently deployed a Taser and they were able to place him under arrest without further incident.

During a subsequent search, officers found and seized a pill believed to be Suboxone.

Once he was taken into custody, a Bridgewater Fire Department ambulance transported him to a local hospital for evaluation. PARKER was later released from the hospital and booked at the Bridgewater Police station.

The officer that sustained the bite to his leg was transported to a local hospital for treatment. Another officer suffered a back injury, but was not hospitalized.

PARKER is expected to be arraigned on Tuesday at Brockton District Court.

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

Whitman Police Announce Fentanyl Arrest After Long-Term Investigation

WHITMAN — Chief Scott D. Benton reports that the Whitman Police Department has made an arrest after a two-month investigation into heroin and Fentanyl activity in the community and seized a large quantity of the deadly synthetic drugs known to be responsible for overdose and death throughout the region.

As a result of diligent investigative work by Whitman Police Detectives, JOHN A. TOWNSEND, AGE 31, OF BERKLEY was arrested Friday evening and charged with:

  • Trafficking in Fentanyl
  • Possession with Intent to Distribute a Class B Drug (Fetantyl)

 

During February and March, Whitman Police Detectives developed information concerning the distribution of opioids on the west side of town. On Friday evening, detectives observed what appeared to be a drug transaction in a driveway of a home near the intersection of Auburn and School streets. Officers conducted a traffic stop of a suspect vehicle after it rolled through a stop sign on Auburn Street near a local pharmacy.

The driver, later identified as TOWNSEND was arrested after an on-scene investigation.

Police recovered approximately 15 grams of a white powdery substance believed to by Fentanyl, materials used to prepare heroin and opioids, multiple cell phones, and $5,000 in cash during TOWNSEND’S arrest.

Fifteen grams of pure Fentanyl is, in theory, enough to cause several thousand overdose deaths.

“We are dedicated, as a public safety agency, to helping those suffering from substance abuse disorders recovery and take back their lives, but this case serves as a reminder that police will continue to aggressively pursue dealers and traffickers who profit from human misery and death in our communities,” Chief Benton said. “This case and the resulting arrest represent a terrific investigatory effort by our Whitman Police Detectives who removed an alleged leach from our community and likely saved a number of lives in the process.”

TOWNSEND is expected to be arraigned in Brockton District Court on Monday.

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

Holbrook Police Charge Man with Breaking Into Home

HOLBROOK — Chief William Smith reports that a man was arrested over the weekend after he allegedly broke into a home.

DANIEL MADDEN, AGE 32, OF AVON was charged with:

  • Breaking and Entering in the Nighttime for a Felony
  • Malicious Destruction of Property

He also had a warrant for his arrest out of Salem District Court.

At approximately 2:18 a.m., on Saturday, March 31, the Holbrook Police Department received a report about a man that had broken into a home on Hamilton Way, before fleeing on foot.

Officers responded to the scene and began searching the for the man, later identified as MADDEN.

The subsequent investigation revealed that MADDEN used a rock to break a glass door in the rear of the single-family home in order to gain access. Two adults and a child were inside the house sleeping at the time.

MADDEN, who was barefoot and wearing only a t-shirt and boxer shorts, had several scrapes and cuts on him and was bleeding prior to entering the house. Police believe he was under the influence of drugs and had been running through the woods.

The adult residents confronted MADDEN, who then fled on foot, leaving a trail of blood through the house. He did not take anything from the home and none of the residents were injured.

Multiple officers searched the area with K9s. In addition, a State Police Air Wing helicopter also responded and used infrared cameras to help search for MADDEN.

The infrared cameras located MADDEN hiding on the property of a nearby construction business in Brockton. He was found and placed under arrest without further incident.

MADDEN was taken to a Brockton hospital to be treated for his injuries and is expected to be arraigned at the hospital on Monday.

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

WINTHROP — Chief Terence M. Delehanty reports that the Winthrop Police Department, working in close cooperation with Revere Police and the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department, charged a woman early this morning in connection with cocaine trafficking.

KATHLEEN T. SULLIVAN, AGE 49, OF WINTHROP, was arrested and charged with:

  • Cocaine Trafficking Over 100 Grams Less Than 200 Grams
  • Possession of a Class B Substance With Intent to Distribute (Subsequent Offense)
  • Possession of a Class C Substance With Intent to Distribute

In addition, SULLIVAN faces multiple charges of Distribution of a Class B Substance (Subsequent Offense) out of Chelsea District Court.

At approximately 6:10 a.m., Winthrop Police, Revere Police Narcotics/Gang Unit detectives and the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department executed multiple search warrants at an apartment on Shirley Street in Winthrop.

Officers located SULLIVAN inside the apartment and she was taken into custody without incident.

During a subsequent search of the apartment and SULLIVAN’S person, investigators located several plastic bags containing 135 grams of a white rock-like substance that was identified as crack cocaine. The search also yielded more than $1,600 in cash, as well as several Oxycodone and Clonazepam pills and items consistent with drug distribution.

SULLIVAN’S arrest was the result of a collaborative investigation involving the Winthrop and Revere Police, as well as the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department.

“The investigation was initiated after receiving complaints from area residents and business owners,” Chief Delehanty said. “This case is a perfect example of the community trusting and having confidence in local law enforcement and passing on information that results in improved quality of life in our neighborhoods.”

“I’m proud of the work of all of the officers involved in this case,” Revere Police Chief James Guido said. “Our regional partnerships have once again proved to be an invaluable asset for both of our communities.”

“The hard work by both police departments in taking drugs off of our streets plays a vital role in making our communities safer,” Revere Mayor Brian Arrigo said.

SULLIVAN was scheduled to be arraigned this morning in East Boston District Court.

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