UPDATED – POSSIBLE BREACH: Two males “running toward the Kennedy… – Hyannis News

UPDATE: A large number of police resources were used to investigate this incident this particular evening… A friend of the young men has messaged HN… and to be fair, HN has offered to speak with the young men involved (possibly on camera) and publish their side of the story… check back for possible further updates…

HYANNIS PORT – Two young males learned that it’s probably not wise to run around and hide from police in the area of the Kennedy Compound last night…

At about 12:40pm, multiple Barnstable Police squad cars rushed toward the Kennedy Compound after a sergeant observed two males running away and evading him…

The sergeant put out a description that one of the males was dressed in black.

It’s not unusual for disturbed individuals to bother and sometimes stalk the residents still living at the compound… which is why multiple police units took notice and responded…

Barnstable Police set up a perimeter and were about to deploy one of their K-9s when the sergeant spoke with a third individual sitting inside a suspicious motor vehicle parked nearby.

Apparently, the two young males, both in their early 20s, were playing some sort of prank on their friend sitting back at the suspicious vehicle.

The sergeant had the third male call his friends and tell them to come out from hiding before possibly being bitten by the dog or tasered.

The two pranksters quickly complied and walked out into the intersection at Scudder Ave and Irving Ave, where they were quickly surrounded by police.

Police spoke with the young men and advised them their actions could have gotten them into more trouble than they bargained for. The two pranksters were said to be intoxicated… and all three men were allowed to drive away from the scene with the third man who was reportedly sober enough to drive.

The following video highlights the entire scene as it unfolded…
