Police Conduct Scheduled K9 Search at Stoughton High School Today

STOUGHTON — Superintendent Marguerite Rizzi and Principal Juliette Miller report that a scheduled police K9 search of Stoughton High School was conducted Tuesday morning.

The search was conducted by Stoughton Police at approximately 9:10 a.m. and lasted about 45 minutes. K9 searches are done at the school and school grounds at least once each school year.

A notice has been sent out to parents that the search was conducted.

As a result of the search, one student was found to have a small amount of marijuana in their possession and another student was found to have a small quantity of marijuana and small number of pills in their vehicle. Both students will receive consequences according to the student handbook. The identities of the students will not be made public.

“K9 searches are part of our overall safety and security plan at the high school,” Principal Miller said. “We appreciate the working relationship with our police department and student safety is our top priority.”

During the search, a K9 alerted to a vehicle parked in the faculty parking lot, but nothing was found.

As part of the standard operating procedure of the search, the school was briefly sheltered in place. Once the search was completed, the shelter in place order was lifted. The school day will continue on a regular schedule.

“This is something that we do every year and I want to thank Chief Donna McNamara and the Stoughton Police Department for their professionalism while the search was conducted,” Superintendent Rizzi said. “Similar searches are conducted at high schools throughout the state and they are part of the school system’s ongoing partnership with the police department in keeping students and faculty safe.”

Parents or residents who have questions or concerns can call the Stoughton Public Schools administration office at 781-344-4000 or the Stoughton Police Department at 781-344-2424.

Rockport Police Searching for Man Who Exposed Himself to Teenage Girl on Beach

ROCKPORT– Chief John Horvath reports that the Rockport Police Department is searching for a man who exposed himself to a teenage girl on Long Beach yesterday afternoon.

On Wednesday, Aug. 9, at approximately 3 p.m., four girls approached a Rockport Police Officer who was on patrol at Long Beach to report that a man had exposed his genitals to one of them while in the water.

The victim, a 14-year-old girl, and her friends, identified the man, who was still in the area, about a 100 yards away walking in the direction of the Guard Shack toward Gloucester. The Rockport Officer pursued the suspect on foot, but the man quickly fled the area.

Rockport and Gloucester Police, along with Rockport lifeguards and parking lot attendants, conducted a search for the suspect, but were unable to locate him.

The suspect is described as a white man in his 40s, approximately 5-feet 9-inches tall, about 180-200 pounds, with short brown/gray hair. He was last seen wearing a camouflage baseball hat (with oval emblem on the front), no shirt, floral patterned shorts, a dark colored backpack and carrying an orange white boogie board, which was recovered by police.

This is an active and ongoing investigation. Anyone who may have seen the man yesterday afternoon, or has information about the incident, is asked to immediately contact the Rockport Police Department at 978-546-1212.
