Middleborough Police Arrest and Charge Man with Assaulting Police Officer

MIDDLEBOROUGH — Chief Joseph Perkins reports that Middleborough Police arrested and charged a man with multiple offenses after he allegedly assaulted a police officer during an investigation into a crash Tuesday night.

ADAM K. MORIN, AGE 46, OF MIDDLEBOROUGH was charged with:

  • Disorderly Conduct
  • Threat to Commit a Crime
  • Assault with a Dangerous Weapon
  • Assault and Battery on a Police Officer
  • Resisting Arrest

MORIN is expected to be arraigned today in Wareham District Court and could face additional charges, as the investigation is still ongoing.

At approximately 9 p.m. Tuesday, Middleborough Police responded to a report of a vehicle that was partially submerged in the Nemasket River at Oliver Mill Park, 14 Nemasket St.

Upon arrival, officers came upon a telephone pole and wooden kiosk that had been crashed into, leaving a trail of debris leading to the river. Officers located the vehicle in the river but were unable to find the driver.

As police investigated on-scene, one officer went to the home of the person who the vehicle was registered to on Forest Street in Middleborough.

While speaking with the vehicle owner, the man told the officer that he believed MORIN had taken the vehicle earlier in the night and that MORIN had come back home and was inside his bedroom.

As the officer went to speak with MORIN, MORIN grabbed a broom and allegedly swung it at the officer. MORIN refused to comply with the officer’s demands to drop the broom and threatened to kill the officer.

While trying to place MORIN under arrest, he continued to be aggressive and resist and the officer called for backup. Police were eventually able to place MORIN in custody.

He was taken back to the Middleborough Police Station to be booked. MORIN could face additional charges in regard to the alleged motor vehicle offenses that were committed and the incident remains under investigation.

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

Taunton Police Charge Woman with Assaulting Officer During Child Abuse Investigation

TAUNTON — Chief Edward Walsh reports that the Taunton Police Department arrested and charged a woman with assaulting a police officer during an investigation into disturbing allegations of child abuse at her home on Sunday.

MELISSA JEAN HOPE, AGE 34, OF TAUNTON was charged with Assault and Battery on a Police Officer. Additional charges may be filed over the course of the ongoing police and state investigation.

HOPE was arraigned Monday in Taunton District Court and was released on personal recognizance. She is due back in court for a hearing on Nov. 15.

At approximately 6:15 p.m., Taunton Police officers went to an apartment on East Water Street at the request of the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families (DCF) to assist with an investigation into alleged child abuse going on inside of the apartment. DCF had received an anonymous report about three children allegedly living in squalor.

The officers arrived at the home and were met by DCF officials.

A woman, later identified as HOPE, and a man inside the home refused to allow the officers to enter into the apartment. Due to the exigent circumstances surrounding the report of abuse and danger to children, the police officers forced entry into the home.

After entering the apartment, a Taunton officer was allegedly assaulted by HOPE, and HOPE was immediately placed under arrest.

Due to the living conditions of the apartment the three children were taken into DCF custody.

Further inquiries should be made to the Department of Children and Families and the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office.

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