Tyngsborough Police and Fire Respond after Teenager is Thrown from Pickup Truck

17-Year-Old Boy Suffers Life-Threatening Injuries

TYNGSBOROUGH — Police Chief Richard D. Howe reports that the Tyngsborough Police and Fire Departments responded after a teenager passenger was thrown from the bed of a pickup truck.

Rescuers responded to the parking lot of Ayotte’s Stateline Smokin’ Joe’s, on the Tyngsborough-Hudson, N.H. border at 9:11 p.m. Upon arrival, police officers, firefighters and medics found a 17-year-old boy from Lowell on the ground suffering from traumatic injuries.

A preliminary investigation indicates that the boy was riding in the bed of a 2000 GMC Senoma compact pickup truck, which was being driven erratically, when he was thrown from the vehicle.

The passenger was taken by ambulance to Lowell General Hospital and transferred via medical helicopter to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston with serious, life-threatening injuries.

The driver remained at the scene. The driver is identified as a 19-year-old male, also from Lowell. He has been cited for Operating to Endanger and Operating an Unregistered Motor Vehicle.

Tyngsborugh Police will also seek to have the Registry of Motor Vehicles declare the driver an “immediate threat” and have his license suspended.

The names of the driver and victim are not being released at this time.

Additional charges may be added. The incident is under investigation by the Tyngsborough Police Department.

Ayotte’s Stateline Smokin’ Joe’s is located in Hudson, N.H., but most of the parking lot is located in Tyngsborough.

Reading Police to Charge Man following Theft of Utility Truck

Vehicle, Suspect Located in Allston

READING — Deputy Chief David Clark reports that the Reading Police Department will charge a local man after a National Grid Massachusetts Gas truck was reported stolen Wednesday afternoon.

At around 4:30 p.m., Reading Police responded to a location on Pearl Street to take a report of a stolen vehicle. 

Reading Police put word of the theft out to surrounding communities and to Boston and State Police. Less than one hour later, Boston Police  located the vehicle and the suspect in the Allston neighborhood. The suspect was arrested and is currently in Boston Police custody. He will likely be arraigned on other charges in Boston on Thursday, and the Reading charges will be added at a later date. 

Reading Police will charge the suspect, a 32-YEAR-OLD MAN FROM READING with Receiving a Stolen Motor Vehicle and Use of a Motor Vehicle Without Authority.

The suspect is being evaluated at a Boston hospital and will also undergo a mental health evaluation.

Deputy Clark praised the inter-agency cooperation that quickly delivered results in this case.

“I am genuinely pleased that police departments, communicating and working together, were able to locate this stolen vehicle within an hour and ensure that there was no danger to the public,” Deputy Clark said. “I wish to express my gratitude to the officers and detectives in Reading and Boston who worked diligently in this investigation.” 

A criminal complaint is still pending, and due to that, Reading Police are not at liberty to release the suspect’s name at this time.

This incident remains under investigation by Reading Police Detectives.

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

Statement of Dedham Police Chief Michael D’Entremont Regarding Conviction of  Former Police Officer

DEDHAM — Chief Michael D’Entremont offers the following statement in regards to today’s news that a former Dedham police officer was convicted of accessory before the fact to the kidnapping of James Robertson, the Avon father kidnapped from his family home on New Year’s Day 2014 and found murdered in the woods of Upton, Mass., about two years later, according to Norfolk District Attorney Michael W. Morrissey.

“I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to the detectives and prosecutors who ensured justice was properly administered in this case,” said Dedham Police Chief Michael J. D’Entremont. “Schoener has been found guilty of abusing the sacred trust placed by the citizens of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in police officers and the municipal police badge. His actions jeopardized that trust, and there is no room for individuals who engage in this type of conduct in the profession of policing.”

The former officer has resigned from the Dedham Police Department. Two other men were convicted October 11, 2018, in the kidnapping and murder of Robertson. A Norfolk County District Attorney press release from that conviction with additional information can be reviewed here.
