Police K9 Kyro Helped Track and Locate Suspect Who Fled on Foot from Crash

RAYNHAM — Chief James Donovan reports that the Raynham Police Department arrested a man for OUI after he fled on foot from a motor vehicle crash Sunday night.

KENNETH HARRINGTON, AGE 52, OF MIDDLEBORO, was charged with:

  • OUI Liquor
  • Negligent Operation of a Motor Vehicle

At approximately 6:48 p.m., Raynham Police responded to a three-vehicle crash on Broadway (Route 138) near Route 495.

When officers arrived, they were notified that one of the drivers, later identified as HARRINGTON, had fled from the scene of the crash on foot.

Following a subsequent search for HARRINGTON, Sgt. Frank Pacheco and K9 Kyro were able to successfully track and locate him about a quarter-mile away. HARRINGTON was hiding in the backyard of a home at the corner of Bridge and Althea streets.

He was placed under arrest and taken into custody without further incident. During the course of the investigation, it was determined that HARRINGTON had been driving under the influence of alcohol.

He was expected to be arraigned Monday in Taunton District Court.

Two adults and a child in the other vehicles were taken to local hospitals with injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening.

The crash is still under investigation.

Raynham Police to Conduct Alcohol Compliance Checks of Local Establishments

RAYNHAM — Chief James Donovan reports that the Raynham Police Department will be conducting liquor law enforcement operations over the next several weeks.

During that time, Raynham Police will be carrying out compliance stings at restaurants and businesses throughout town that have liquor licenses.

The purpose of the compliance checks is to prevent people under age 21 from obtaining alcohol and to ensure that liquor license holders, their employees and those over 21 years of age, are not providing alcohol to minors.

“Preventing underage consumption of alcohol is a community-wide responsibility,” Chief Donovan said. “These compliance checks are meant to guarantee that licensees are living up to that responsibility, and we hope that by reducing underage access to alcohol that the community will enjoy a safer holiday season.”

The Massachusetts Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission requires that local authorities notify the public that they intend to conduct compliance checks prior to doing so.

Raynham Police Arrest Man with Multiple Guns in Stolen Vehicle

RAYNHAM — Chief James Donovan reports that the Raynham Police Department arrested a man Wednesday morning, who had multiple firearms in his possession inside a stolen vehicle.

KYLE DAMON, AGE 22, OF RAYNHAM was charged with:

  • Possession of a large capacity firearm
  • Carrying a firearm without a license (two counts)
  • Carrying a firearm while intoxicated
  • Receiving stolen property over $250 (three counts)
  • Carrying ammunition without a license
  • Warrant arrest (three counts)

On Wednesday, at approximately 4:46 a.m., Raynham Police received a report of a man who was possibly in a stolen vehicle in the parking lot of the King Philip apartment complex.

Upon arrival, officers found a man, later identified as DAMON, sitting inside a Chevy Trailblazer that had been reported stolen on Monday, Dec. 11 out of Taunton.

Officers had reason to believe that DAMON may have had multiple stolen firearms in his possession and moved quickly to remove him from the vehicle and place him in handcuffs.

DAMON was highly intoxicated and received minor cuts and scrapes to his face when he was detained on the ground.

In searching DAMON, officers found a loaded Remington 1911 handgun inside a holster on his right hip. They also found a small folding knife tucked into his boot.

Inside the Trailblazer, officers located a fully locked and loaded AR-15 rifle in the front passenger’s seat, along with a large knife. Both items were within reaching distance of DAMON.

DAMON was placed under arrest. After complaining about chest pains, he was brought to Morton Hospital for evaluation. He will be arraigned after he is released from the hospital.

The guns were seized and the vehicle was recovered and towed to the police station for further investigation.

“This was a great job by our officers of quickly assessing the situation, especially not knowing how Mr. Damon would react when they came upon him,” Chief Donovan said. “Thankfully we were able to apprehend the suspect without incident and take two illegally possessed firearms off the streets.”

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

TAUNTON — Taunton Police Chief Edward James Walsh and Raynham Police Chief James Donovan report that a 19-year-old and 17-year-old, both males, were charged with robbing multiple businesses in Taunton, Raynham, and Rhode Island, last week.

After a multi-agency investigation, MIGUEL GONZALEZ, AGE 19, OF STOUGHTON was arrested Thursday night, Dec. 7 in Taunton. On Saturday morning, a 17-YEAR-OLD MALE SUSPECT FROM TAUNTON turned himself in to the Taunton Police Department.

GONZALEZ AND THE 17-YEAR-OLD are charged by Raynham Police with:

  • Armed and masked robbery
  • Larceny over $250
  • Malicious destruction of property over $250

GONZALEZ AND THE 17-YEAR-OLD are charged by Taunton Police with:

  • Unarmed robbery
  • Larceny over $250

Because the 17-YEAR-OLD is a minor, his identity will not be disclosed.

The two are expected to face charges out of Rhode Island in connection with a violent robbery where a man was stabbed.

“Thanks to the strong collaborative efforts of the Raynham, Taunton, East Providence and Pawtucket police departments, these violent and dangerous suspects are behind bars,” Chief Donovan said. “As soon as we discovered that these incidents may have been connected, we began immediately working with our partner agencies and the arrests are the result of that joint-effort.”

“This was great work by one of our officers who spotted the suspect’s vehicle and was able to identify him and place him under arrest,” Chief Walsh said. “I want to thank our neighboring police departments for their efforts in this investigation.”

Background:

At approximately 8 p.m. Thursday, a Taunton Police officer was on routine patrol on Weir Street when he spotted a dark-colored Nissan Maxima fitting the description of the vehicle allegedly used in the robberies.

Officers were able to identify the driver as GONZALEZ and placed him under arrest. The 17-YEAR-OLD SUSPECT turned himself in at approximately 11 a.m. at the Taunton Police station on Saturday.

The string of alleged robberies began on Dec. 3 when the Pawtucket, Rhode Island Police Department responded to a report of an armed robbery at a liquor store. A short time later, East Providence, Rhode Island Police were called to a report of a robbery at a liquor store, where a 68-year-old male customer had been stabbed and suffered serious injuries.

On Dec. 5, Raynham Police received a call about an armed robbery where two masked men with knives robbed the Seasons Corner Market, 442 New State Highway. Raynham Police released video surveillance footage of the robbery to the public to help identify the suspects. The following day, the CVS at 284 Winthrop St., in Taunton, was robbed by two masked men.

GONZALEZ  and the JUVENILE SUSPECT have been charged in connection with these incidents. GONZALEZ was arraigned Friday in Taunton District Court. He is being held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing on Thursday, Dec. 14. He is also being sought for extradition to Rhode Island to face charges in connection with the incidents there.

The 17-YEAR-OLD was arraigned Monday. The details of his arraignment are not public because he is a minor

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