SALEM — Deputy Chief Joel Dolan reports that a South Carolina man has been arrested by Salem Police today after he led officers on a pursuit in a stolen vehicle.

“I’d like to commend the officers who apprehended this individual after this situation became increasingly challenging,” Deputy Chief Dolan said. “Our officers displayed teamwork, bravery and perseverance, and as a result of their hard work, we were able to arrest a suspect today who posed a variety of threats to our community.”

DAQUHAN CROMER, 22, OF GREENVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA has been charged with:

  • Reckless Conduct with a Deadly Weapon
  • Receiving Stolen Property
  • Possession of a Controlled Drug with Intent to Sell
  • Conduct After an Accident
  • Disobeying an Officer
  • Resisting Arrest or Detention
  • Driving after Suspension

At 8:52 a.m.,  a Salem Police Officer was alerted by a stolen vehicle tracking device on his cruiser that a 2010 Honda Accord that had been reported stolen out of Haverhill was possibly in the area. Upon investigation, police located the vehicle near the Park View Inn on Route 28.

When officers approached the vehicle, the driver, later identified as CROMER drove away and behind a building on the lawn, nearly striking an employee of the inn. He continued driving in the parking lot, striking a parked vehicle and two Salem Police Cruisers. One cruiser has been taken out of service for repairs following the crash, and the second sustained minor damage. The parked vehicle in the lot sustained minor damage.

Salem Police followed CROMER through several parking lots as well as Cole’s Trailer Park and then southbound on Route 28. After striking a third police cruiser, CROMER came to a stop on the lawn of the entrance to Tuscan Village at the intersection of South Broadway and Central Street, and fled on foot northbound on Route 28. The cruiser sustained minor damage.

After a brief foot chase, CROMER was taken into custody by the Salem Police Department. Officers located a large bag of suspected heroin and/or fentanyl in the middle of Route 28 directly after CROMER was taken into custody.

One Salem Police Officer sustained an injury to his knee during this incident.

CROMER will be held at Rockingham County Superior Court in Brentwood pending arraignment. He is scheduled to be arraigned tomorrow, Tuesday, Oct. 1.

During the vehicle and foot pursuit, Salem Police received information that a female passenger in the vehicle may have been a kidnapping victim, but investigating officers determined that was not the case.

No charges were filed against the female passenger.

Reports on social media also circulated on Monday morning reporting the sound of gunfire. At no point were any shots fired during this incident.

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

Randolph Police Charge Man Who Allegedly Led Officers on Pursuit

RANDOLPH — Chief William Pace reports that the Randolph Police Department has charged a man who allegedly fled from officers and led them on a pursuit early Tuesday morning.

A man, tentatively identified as MANUEL VIDAL, AGE 45, OF BRENTWOOD, NEW YORK, was charged with:

  • Reckless Operation of a Motor Vehicle
  • Unlicensed Operation of a Motor Vehicle
  • Leaving the Scene of a Motor Vehicle Crash with Property Damage

The man’s identity remains a part of the active investigation. He will likely be facing further charges from Randolph Police and other communities where he is alleged to have led officers on separate chases overnight.

At 1:48 a.m. today, a Randolph Police officer was on North Main Street when he observed the driver of a black 2020 Toyota Corolla run through a red light at Crawford Square onto South Main Street (Route 28). The driver, later identified as VIDAL, drove up onto the sidewalk and continued down South Main Street. The vehicle did not have a rear license plate.

The officer attempted to pull VIDAL over, but he continued down the road toward Avon swerving across the road. The officer notified Avon Police that the vehicle was heading into their town travelling at speeds of around 30-40 miles per hour.

Once in Avon, there were now four cruisers behind VIDAL, all with their lights on and sirens sounding. VIDAL showed no signs of being aware of the police presence around him and did not stop or slow down.

With the road clear ahead of them, the Randolph Police officer that initiated the pursuit drove in front of VIDAL’S vehicle while driving down West Main Street in Avon. The officer slowed down in front of VIDAL as they approached Harrison Boulevard in an attempt to get him to stop before the intersection.

The officer was able to get VIDAL to stop his vehicle prior to the intersection and as officers approached his vehicle on foot, he sped off, striking the Randolph Police cruiser in front of him. The vehicle sustained minor damage and the officer was uninjured.

VIDAL fled at speeds of up to 80 miles per hour into Brockton down North Main Street. The officers followed VIDAL from a safe distance as he drove through Brockton and eventually into West Bridgewater.

Concerned for the safety of the public, Randolph Police terminated the pursuit in West Bridgewater and notified area law enforcement agencies about the incident and provided a description of the vehicle.

Approximately one hour later, after allegedly leading officers on subsequent pursuits through Easton, Brockton, East Bridgewater and West Bridgewater, VIDAL was stopped in the area of 740 North Main St. in West Bridgewater where he was taken into custody and transported to Good Samaritan Medical Center in Brockton.

The incident remains under investigation by Randolph Police and other departments. VIDAL will be issued a summons to appear in court for the charges he faces out of Randolph.

VIDAL has a history with police, including a history of fleeing from police in other states.

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

Raynham Police Department Charges Man who Led Officers on Pursuit

Somerset Police Arrested Suspect at Somerset Motel

RAYNHAM — Raynham Police Chief James Donovan and Somerset Police Chief George McNeil report that a man has been arrested after leading a Raynham officer on a chase earlier this week.

KIE HENDRIX, AGE 32, OF BROCKTON was charged with:

  • Negligent Operation of a Motor Vehicle
  • Failure to Stop for Police
  • Failure to Stop/Yield
  • Operation of a Motor Vehicle with a Revoked License
  • Speeding
  • Marked Lanes Violation

HENDRIX additionally had four outstanding warrants for alleged drug crimes and motor vehicle violations. He will be arraigned in Taunton District Court at a later date on his Raynham charges.

At approximately 8:30 p.m., on Tuesday, June 11, a Raynham Police officer was on routine patrol on New State Highway (Route 44) when he observed a man driving a black 2009 Mercedes C300 sedan.

While stopped at a red light, at the intersection of Orchard Street and Route 44, the officer looked over toward the driver of the Mercedes, later identified as HENDRIX. HENDRIX turned his head and body in an abrupt manner, in an attempt to hide his face, and then quickly turned onto Orchard Street.

The officer continued on his patrol and noticed HENDRIX drive by twice in a short period of time. The officer then observed HENDRIX park at a gas station at the intersection of South Street West and Route 44. HENDRIX parked at the pumps but did not get out to get gas. Because HENDRIX was acting suspiciously, the officer pulled into the gas station parking lot. When he did so, HENDRIX allegedly fled from the parking lot onto Route 44 at a high rate of speed.

HENDRIX led the officer on a pursuit down Route 44, reaching speeds of over 60 miles per hour. HENDRIX drove through multiple red lights and was driving aggressively, at one point forcing another driver to veer to the side of the road.

Due to HENDRIX’S speed and reckless driving, and because the officer had the registration information on the vehicle, the pursuit was terminated.

Through a subsequent investigation, Raynham Police learned from Somerset Police that HENDRIX was known to frequent the Orbitz Inn, 537 Riverside Ave., in Somerset.

At approximately 8 a.m., on Wednesday, June 12, Somerset Police officers went to the Orbitz Inn and located the black Mercedes in the parking lot. HENDRIX was found in the lobby of the hotel and was placed under arrest for his outstanding warrants.

Through further investigation, it was confirmed by Raynham Police that HENDRIX was the man who led officers on the pursuit.

A criminal complaint was filed Friday morning in Taunton District Court for his charges out of Raynham.

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