Bridgewater Police Investigating Pedestrian Crash at Post Office

BRIDGEWATER — Chief Christopher Delmonte reports that the Bridgewater Police Department is investigating a pedestrian crash that occurred in the post office parking lot Friday morning.

At approximately 11 a.m., the Bridgewater Police and Fire Departments responded to the Bridgewater Post Office, 169 Broad St., after receiving multiple 911 calls about a pedestrian that was struck by a motor vehicle.

Upon arrival, officers located a man injured on the ground in the rear parking lot of the building.

The victim, identified as Gary Moore, age 53, of Mansfield, was treated by Bridgewater Fire Department paramedics and was subsequently transported by ambulance to Good Samaritan Medical Center in Brockton. Moore suffered injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening.

Through an on-scene investigation, officers determined that the victim had been walking through the rear parking lot when the driver of a vehicle accidentally stepped on the gas instead of the brake pedal upon seeing the pedestrian.

The driver, identified as Dexter McDonald, age 84, of Bridgewater, continued through the parking lot after allegedly striking the victim and struck several shrubs before coming to a stop.

The incident is under investigation by the Bridgewater Police Department and as of Friday afternoon no citations or charges have been filed. Police have made a request with the Massachusetts Department of Motor Vehicles to have McDonald’s license status filed as an immediate threat.

Bridgewater Police to Participate in National Coffee with a Cop Day

BRIDGEWATER — Chief Christopher Delmonte is pleased to announce that the Bridgewater Police Department will be participating in National Coffee with a Cop Day next week.

“Coffee with a Cop is great way for our officers to meet with residents and get to know them on a more personal, informal level,” Chief Delmonte said. “We hope to see a lot of community members stop the Bridgewater McDonald’s next week.”

WHEN:

Wednesday, Oct. 3, from 9-10:30 a.m.

WHERE:

McDonald’s, 222 Broad St., Bridgewater

WHAT: 

Residents, business owners and community members are invited to meet with Bridgewater Police officers to engage in meaningful conversation over a cup of coffee — or two.

There is no set agenda for the event, but rather a chance for residents to meet the officers who serve their community, ask questions and express any concerns they may have.

McDonald’s franchise owner Mark McBee will be giving out a free small cup of coffee to those who attend.

“As a McDonald’s Owner/Operator, being involved in the community is the cornerstone of my business, and I look forward to hosting this event in partnership with Bridgewater Police Department,” McBee said. “I hope that community members will attend the Coffee with a Cop event and feel comfortable to ask questions, bring forward concerns, or simply get to know the officers that patrol our neighborhoods day in and day out.”

The event is part of National Coffee with a Cop Day, conducted in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services.

The first Coffee with a Cop event was held in 2011 by the Hawthorne Police Department in California. The initiative has since spread globally as a simple but effective method of bringing police and communities together.

*UPDATED*

Bridgewater Police Investigating Prank Hostage Situation

BRIDGEWATER — Chief Christopher Delmonte reports that the Bridgewater Police Department is investigating an incident where a prank caller alluded to a hostage situation inside a home early Tuesday morning.

At approximately 4 a.m., a Bridgewater Police dispatcher received a call on the business line from a man who said he had 10-15 hostages inside of a home on Aldrich Road and that he was going to kill the hostages if he was not given cash.

The man called the department business line numerous times, making various threats.

Police immediately responded to Aldrich Road, where they came upon the home mentioned by the caller. Officers found nothing to be out of the ordinary.

While officers were on scene, a juvenile resident of the house called 911 to report that a man she was speaking to on the social media application Houseparty had threatened to harm her. Police believe that the man the juvenile was speaking to was the same person who had called the police station making the threats.

The preliminary investigation indicates that the juvenile had been using the live video group chat app Houseparty and was chatting with three friends. A man, unknown to the girl, then gained access to the conversation and began threatening her.

This incident is being actively investigated by the Bridgewater Police Department.

Chief Delmonte encourages parents to have discussions with their children about social media use, including the Houseparty app. The app allows group video chatting, but police at this time are unsure how the unknown male suspect gained access to the juvenile’s group conversation and are investigating.

“I would like to commend all the officers involved for their professional response to the incident as reported,” Chief Delmonte said.
