Failure to stop for police…
Hyannis – A 34-year-old man with a lengthy record led police on a short pursuit on West Main Street at approximately 8:00pm.
The pursuit ended in a parking space behind the Colonial Court Apartments at 301 West Main Street.
The driver was quickly placed into custody for Failure to Stop for a Police Officer and Operating to Endanger.
Upon further investigation, officers also charged the driver with OUI.
A record check of the driver whose first or last name is Randal, showed that he has been arrested numerous times in his adult life, with charges ranging from more than one Assault and Battery on a Police Officer to A&B with a Dangerous Weapon.
The suspect vehicle was towed from the scene, as Mr. Randal was transported back to police headquarters for booking… where officers assisted Randal from the cruiser to booking and ultimately to his jail cell.
