Saugus Police Respond After Car Crashes into House

SAUGUS — Interim Chief Ronald Giorgetti reports that the Saugus Police Department responded to a crash early this morning where a car drove into a house.

At 12:22 a.m., Saugus Police received a 911 call reporting that a car had crashed into a residence at 258 Central St.

The Saugus Police and Fire Departments responded to the scene and found that a 2005 Chevy Equinox had driven into the front corner of the house.

The operator, a 29-year-old Saugus man, had exited the vehicle prior to first responders’ arrival. He was treated on scene and then transported to an area hospital with injuries that were not believed to be life-threatening.

Saugus Police issued a citation to the 29-year-old man for Unlicensed Operation of a Motor Vehicle. The vehicle was towed from the scene.

Residents were home at the time of the crash, but were not injured.

The house sustained significant damage and was deemed uninhabitable.

The crash remains under investigation by the Saugus Police Department, however a preliminary investigation indicates that alcohol or drugs did not play a factor.

SAUGUS — It is with great sadness and heavy hearts today that the Saugus Police Department announces the death of K-9 Bruin.

Bruin, a nine-year-old German Shepherd, was diagnosed with terminal cancer in February, and his health quickly declined. He joined the Saugus Police Department in February 2011. At the time, he was only 16 months old.

The Saugus Police Department held a final ride for Bruin at 11:30 a.m. Thursday, March 14 through the town of Saugus. Approximately 30 police cruisers from Saugus and surrounding communities escorted K-9 Bruin during his final ride.

Bruin attended training with his partner, Officer Timothy Fawcett, and was a certified patrol K-9. Bruin was also certified and trained to detect narcotics.

Over the last eight years, Bruin also met thousands of people during visits he made to schools and nonprofit organizations, both in Saugus and in the surrounding communities, as an ambassador of the department.

“He touched many lives,” said Interim Police Chief Ronald Giorgetti. “Bruin was a great K9, and served the department well. He also represented the department on over 100 visits he made to local schools and events, and had a special place in the heart of the community. He will be missed greatly by the Saugus Police Department and all members of the public.”

The Saugus Police Department will hold a memorial service to recognize K-9 Bruin and Officer Fawcett’s service to the department in the coming weeks and will provide details at a later date.

Saugus Police Read to Children for Dr. Seuss’ Birthday

SAUGUS — To celebrate Dr. Seuss’ birthday on March 2, Saugus Police Officers visited schools in town to read some of the author’s classic books to children.

Officers visited schools as part of Read Across America Day — an annual reading event that was launched in 1997 by the National Education Association to occur on, or near, March 2. The initiative seeks to motivate students to read and have fun while doing so. Each year, schools, libraries, municipalities, and community groups hold activities on Read Across America Day to celebrate reading.

Officer Dom Montano visited pre-kindergarten students at Veterans Memorial Elementary School to read Dr. Seuss’ “There’s a Wocket in my Pocket!”

Lt. Michael Ricciardelli and K-9 Officer Tim Fawcett visited first grade students at the Oaklandvale School. Lt. Ricciardelli read “Ten Apples Up On Top!” and Officer Fawcett read “The Cat in the Hat” and “One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish.”

Students also convinced Lt. Ricciardelli and Officer Fawcett to join them in a dance after they finished the books.

“Dr. Seuss’ birthday provided officers with a great opportunity to visit students and be a part of their learning in a fun and interactive way,” Interim Chief Ronald Giorgetti said. “Officers had a great time reading some of students’ favorite books and we plan to replicate this initiative next year.”
