GLOUCESTER — Interim Chief John McCarthy reports that the Gloucester Police Department arrested a man for his seventh drunk driving offense after he allegedly drove under the influence and struck a pedestrian who was walking in a crosswalk on Monday evening.

Gloucester Police and Fire responded at 6:30 p.m. to the area outside 4 Raymond St. for a reported motor vehicle crash with a pedestrian struck. Upon arrival, rescuers found an adult male victim laying in the road with injuries to his hands, arms, back and head. The victim was taken to an area hospital by ambulance with injuries that are serious but not believed to be life-threatening.

An investigation indicated that the victim was struck by a 2010 GMC pickup truck. The driver had a strong odor of alcohol coming from his breath, and his eyes were glassy and bloodshot. He subsequently failed several field sobriety tests and was arrested at the scene.

A records check indicated that the driver, JOSEPH A. NALLY, AGE 58, OF BUCKSPORT, MAINE had six prior convictions for operating under the influence of alcohol in Maine and Massachusetts, and he had a suspended license and should not have been driving at all.

The investigation also indicated that the victim saw the truck coming and put his arms up to signal NALLY to stop. He allegedly made no attempt to stop before striking the victim.

NALLY was charged with:

  • Operating Under the Influence of Alcohol, Fifth Offense or Subsequent (Seventh Offense)
  • Operating While License Suspended for OUI
  • Crosswalk Violation
  • Negligent Operation of a Motor Vehicle
  • Operation of a Motor Vehicle with a Suspended License (Subsequent Offense)
  • Assault and Battery with a Dangerous Weapon

NALLY was held pending his arraignment in Gloucester District Court.

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

THOMAS MADDEN, AGE 43, OF MAYNARD, is charged with:

  • OUI Liquor (Fourth Offense)
  • OUI Related Offense While License Suspended for OUI
  • Operating a Motor Vehicle While License Suspended for OUI
  • Speeding
  • Failure to Display Headlights at Nighttime
  • Negligent Operation of a Motor Vehicle

On Thursday, May 5, at approximately 8 p.m., an officer working a patrol shift observed a sedan traveling at a high rate of speed in the area of 57 Powdermill Road without its headlights on. The officer recognized that the vehicle belonged to MADDEN, who had been seen by police earlier that day operating the same car with a suspended license.

Police initiated a motor vehicle stop on Powdermill Circle, and after an initial investigation, placed MADDEN under arrest without incident.

“Fortunately, no one was injured as a result of this individual’s reckless decision to operate a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and with a suspended license,” Chief Dubois said. “We have zero tolerance for this behavior and I want to remind residents to never, under any circumstances, get behind the wheel if you have been drinking.”

MADDEN was held on $10,000 bail pending his arraignment at Concord District Court.

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

DEBORAH LETOURNEAU, AGE 51, OF HULL is charged with:

  • Operation of a Motor Vehicle with a License Suspended for OUI
  • Operating an Unregistered Motor Vehicle
  • Operating an Uninsured Motor Vehicle
  • Forgery/Misuse of an RMV Document

On March 18, around 12:30 p.m., an officer located LETOURNEAU, who is known to police and is known to have a 2010 lifetime license suspension, driving on Nantasket Avenue.

The officer conducted a motor vehicle and subsequently arrested LETOURNEAU after verifying her identity and determining that the vehicle was unregistered, she was uninsured, and that the license plates she was using did not belong to her or the vehicle she was driving.

“This individual has been banned from operating a motor vehicle for the rest of her life, but she continues to show disregard for the law and for the safety of everyone around her by getting behind the wheel,” Chief Sawtelle said. “Her actions are a danger to herself and others on the road, and I am proud that our officers located her before anyone was hurt.”

LETOURNEAU was scheduled to be arraigned in Hingham District Court today.

Andover Police Respond to Road Rage Incident Involving a Firearm

ANDOVER — Police Chief Patrick Keefe reports that the Andover Police Department arrested a man and will summons another after a road rage incident occurred in a parking lot on North Main Street this morning.

MICHAEL MCCULLOM, AGE 51, OF ANDOVER is charged with Assault and Battery and Assault With a Dangerous Weapon (Firearm).

A 51-year-old male from North Andover will be summonsed to Lawrence District Court for Assault and Battery and Operating a Motor Vehicle With a Suspended License.

At approximately 8:30 a.m., dispatch received a call from a resident of Poor Street who reported that a physical altercation was taking place at the 354 North Main St. parking lot. Police were dispatched to the scene and, upon arrival, witnessed two men yelling at each other.

According to police, MCCULLOM was driving on Lowell Street and attempting to turn onto North Main Street. At the same time, the other male was operating a snow plow traveling in the opposite direction and also attempted to turn onto North Main Street. The two nearly crashed into each other. MCCULLOM then followed the plow driver into the North Main Street parking lot and the two had a verbal altercation that escalated into a physical altercation where MCCULLOM pulled out an unloaded firearm.

MCCULLOM was arrested on scene and arraigned at Lawrence District Court today. He is scheduled to have a dangerousness hearing on Thursday Dec. 31.

“We understand that these road conditions can be very frustrating for drivers, but this type of behavior is never acceptable,” Chief Keefe said. “Please be patient while driving and be sure to leave extra time so you can safely arrive at your destination.”

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