Randolph Police Arrest and Charge Man in Shooting

RANDOLPH — Chief William Pace reports that the Randolph Police Department is actively investigating a shooting on South Main Street Monday night and have placed a man under arrest.

EROLW POPE-FOSTER, AGE 25, OF ANDOVER was arrested and charged with:

  • Armed Assault to Murder
  • Assault with a Dangerous Weapon
  • Carrying a Loaded Firearm without a License
  • Discharging a Firearm Within 500 Feet of a Dwelling or Building

At approximately 4 p.m., Randolph Police responded to an apartment complex at 625 South Main St. for a report of shots fired.

Through an on-scene investigation officers determined that two shots were allegedly fired by POPE-FOSTER. A revolver was recovered at the scene by police and was seized as evidence.

The initial investigation indicates that the incident occurred because of an argument regarding a car sale. The victim, a Woburn man, met POPE-FOSTER through the OfferUp smart phone application. The victim was selling a car through the app.

The two met at the Randolph apartment complex and began to argue over the price of the car and an altercation broke out between the two. The victim fell to the ground and POPE-FOSTER allegedly pulled out a handgun and fired it twice at the victim, missing him.

Police responded and located POPE-FOSTER hiding in the rear of one of the apartment buildings. He was placed under arrest without further incident.

The revolver was found under a truck in the parking lot and was wrapped in a rag.

The victim suffered cuts on his hands from the ice when he fell to the ground and ran to the nearby Avon Fire station for help.

The incident remains under active investigation and no further information is available at this time.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call Randolph Police at 781-963-1212.

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

Attleboro Fire Department Responds to Serious Rollover Crash

ATTLEBORO — Chief Scott T. Lachance reports that the Attleboro Fire Department responded to a serious motor vehicle crash early Thursday morning where two people were injured.

Shortly before 1 a.m., Attleboro Fire responded to the intersection of Thatcher Street and South Main Street for a report of a rollover crash.

Upon arrival, firefighters came upon a Jaguar sedan convertible that had crashed and come to rest on its roof.

A woman passenger, believed to be in her 30s, was trapped in the back seat of the vehicle and was unconscious. 

Firefighters used a hydraulic extrication rescue tool to free the woman from the vehicle. Due to the heavy damage and the vehicle being on its roof, it took firefighters about 20 minutes to safely free the woman.

She was taken by ambulance to a local hospital with what are believed to be life threatening injuries.

A male driver, also in his late 30s, was able to get himself out from under the vehicle before firefighters arrived on scene. The man was taken to the hospital with injuries that are not believed to be life threatening.

The man and woman were the only occupants of the vehicle and no other vehicles were involved in the crash.

Attleboro Police also responded to close off the roads and investigate the cause of the crash.

 Both roads were closed for more than an hour while crews worked to assist the victims and investigate the crash. The roads have since been reopened.
