Why did he try to run from SCU? [Video]
HYANNIS – Members of the Street Crimes Unit say they observed a hand-to-hand drug transaction between a Hyannis man and another individual last night.
When police moved in to investigate further, the man attempted to run away.
SCU radioed that they were involved in a foot chase in the area of Yarmouth Road and Main Street.
Moments later the man was in custody. But why did he run?
Police searched the ground and retraced the man’s footsteps but weren’t able to find any drugs.
Later in the evening, the midnight shift was advised to keep an eye on the area in case the suspects came back searching for drugs.
Jason Dillree, age 33, of Hyannis, was arrested and charged with Disorderly Conduct. He was transported back to BPD Headquarters for booking and processing.
The incident remains under investigation by members of the SCU.
The following video highlights the scene moments after Dillree was taken into custody… [Press play]

Robert Bastille,
P.S. – Tonight's HyTown Vignette is NOT for everyone. It's a rap song which contains strong language, but I put it out there as insight into a certain misguided segment of our culture and society. It illustrates the truth that the immature lowlife or “gangster” lifestyle always ends in utter failure... always, think about it. No exceptions. And I just hate to see otherwise good young men take the "pussy" way out and waste their lives on the big lie... the lie which says drugs and crime is an acceptable alternative to growing a pair and having the courage to grow up. Life's about choices my young friends. Can you imagine 10 things that you could do tomorrow that would make your life a hell of a lot more difficult? Well, sometimes the key to a good life is recognizing those things and doing the complete opposite. Or else you could always decide to settle for being a loser... A bullet or a hot shot, what's the difference? Viewer discretion is advised... [Crank it]
P.P.S. -- Years ago, I had the privilege of living 14 miles out in the middle of the ocean on Penikese Island with some of the hardest young criminals and "gangsters" in Massachusetts. I also had the privilege of watching those young men finally realize the truth that the key to life is as simple as being tough enough to do the opposite of what will ultimately ruin you. It wasn't easy for them. But they soon realized that sometimes one has to do the things he doesn't want to do, so that some day he can do and have the life he truly wants. There's no exceptions to the truth of that formula. When I look around Hyannis I often see reflections of my Penikese boys who are now either successful grown men or otherwise just plain dead... and I always think to myself, "Is he tough enough to become a man? Or is he going to check out of the program like so many others?"
