ROWLEY — Chief Scott A. Dumas reports that the Rowley Police Department arrested a man yesterday on drug distribution charges.

JOHN M. COOK, AGE 20, OF ROWLEY was arrested and charged with:

  • Possession With Intent to Manufacture a Class C Substance
  • Possession With Intent to Distribute a Class C Substance
  • Possession With Intent to Distribute a Class D Substance
  • Distribution of a Class C Substance
  • Distribution of a Class D Substance

Following several tips from members of the public, Rowley Police launched an investigation into drug activity on Cedarwood Drive. On Thursday, March 15, at approximately 5 p.m., investigators observed COOK complete a hand-to-hand drug transaction outside his home.

COOK was then immediately placed under arrest without incident by Rowley Police, who then obtained a search warrant for his residence. A subsequent search — aided by the Georgetown Police and Massachusetts State Police K-9 unit — yielded a large quantity of drugs, manufacturing items and cash.

Rowley Police seized nine pounds of marijuana, 547 grams of wax (otherwise known as butane hash oil), numerous cannabis edibles and more than $4,200 in cash. The total street value of the drugs is estimated at $78,500.

“This arrest and significant seizure would not have been possible without the support of members of the public who keep a vigilant eye on their neighborhood,” Chief Dumas said. “I’m grateful for their assistance, and I’m proud of our officers for their professionalism in conducting this investigation.”

COOK was released on personal recognizance, and is scheduled to be arraigned in Newburyport District Court on Monday, March 19.

Rowley Police are committed to the safety of residents. Should anyone become aware of criminal activity in their community, they are urged to contact police at 978-948-7644.

These are allegations. All suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Rowley Police Respond to Motor Vehicle Crash Involving Tractor Trailer

ROWLEY — Chief Scott A. Dumas reports that the Rowley Police Department is investigating after a motor vehicle crashed into a tractor trailer this morning, sending the driver and her infant to the hospital.

At 10:45 a.m., Rowley Police received a report of a two-vehicle crash on Haverhill Street (Route 133), between Route 1 and Main Street (Route 1A).

A preliminary on scene investigation indicates that a 40-year-old woman from Haverhill was traveling west in a 2016 Kia Sportage on Haverhill Street when she crossed the double yellow line and struck a tractor trailer that was heading east. The woman’s car then came to rest against a tree.

Rowley firefighters used hydraulic rescue tools to extricate the woman from her vehicle. She was transported to an area hospital with injuries that are believed to be serious. Her infant, who was in the car at the time of the crash, was also transported to an area hospital with injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening.

The driver of the tractor trailer, a 51-year-old man from New Bedford, was not injured.

Both vehicles sustained substantial damage and were towed from the scene.

Following the crash, Haverhill Street, from Main Street to Route 1, was closed in both directions for several hours. The road re-opened at 1:30 p.m.

Ipswich Police and Fire, along with the Newbury Fire Department, responded to the scene for mutual aid. The Massachusetts State Police’s truck team also responded to evaluate the tractor trailer.

The crash remains under investigation by the Rowley Police Department and the Massachusetts State Police.

Rowley Police Investigation Leads to Arrest on Theft Charges

Tips from the Public Helped Identify Suspect

ROWLEY — Chief Scott A. Dumas reports that the Rowley Police Department arrested a man after an investigation revealed that he allegedly stole a woman’s wallet while she was shopping last weekend.

JACOB BEAUBIER, AGE 33, OF DANVERS was arrested and charged with Larceny from a Person.

On Monday, Nov. 13, Rowley Police received a report from a woman who reported that her wallet had been stolen while she was shopping at Market Basket, located at 231 Newburyport Turnpike, the previous day.

Rowley Police then began an investigation, which included reviewing surveillance footage and making images of the suspect public via social media. Police subsequently received tips from members of the public who identified BEAUBIER as the suspect in the surveillance images.

On Thursday, Nov. 16, the victim reached out to police to report that the wallet had been returned to their mailbox. Rowley Police subsequently worked with law enforcement partners to identify and locate BEAUBIER, who turned himself in at the Rowley Police Station later Thursday evening.

BEAUBIER was released on bail and was scheduled to be arraigned today at Newburyport District Court.

“This arrest was the result of the work of committed investigators, who were aided in their efforts by members of the public who helped us to identify and bring this suspect into custody,” Chief Dumas said.
