State Police Pursue Domestic Violence Suspect Wanted in Bourne

Today, at approximately 2:57 a.m. the Bourne Police Department advised the State Police that their officers were in pursuit of a 2006 Nissan Sentra sedan on Route 3 North in Bourne. The operator of the Nissan was wanted by the Bourne Police Department for a Domestic Assault and Battery that occurred earlier in the morning.

The pursuit was joined by the State Police in the Hanover area on Route 3 North and continued onto Route 93 South and then onto Route 24 South. On Route 24 South, the operator exited at Route 27 in Brockton and drove East before making a right turn onto Christy Drive. The pursuit continued down Christy Drive to Pleasant Street and then onto Rockland Street. As the operator was attempting to negotiate a left turn from Rockland Street onto Torrey Street, the operator lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a telephone pole. Immediately after crashing into the telephone pole, the operator intentionally rammed two State Police cruisers before bringing the vehicle to a stop and fleeing on foot. After a short foot pursuit, the subject was arrested after a brief struggle and charged with the following offenses: Failure to Stop for a Police Officer, Operating to Endanger, Assault and Battery with a Dangerous Weapon (2 Counts), Use of a Motor Vehicle without Authority, Possession of a Class B Substance, Furnishing a False Name to the Police, and Resisting Arrest.

In addition to the charges listed above, the Bourne Police Department is pursuing additional charges in relation to the initial Domestic Assault and Battery and related offenses.

As a result of injuries sustained in the crash, the operator was transported by Brockton EMS to Good Samaritan Hospital in Brockton and later to Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston with serious injuries. The identity of the operator is being withheld pending confirmation of his identity.

No further information is available at this time. Please do not call the barracks directly.
