CENTERVILLE, MASSACHUSETTS ? A 23-year-old Sandwich man was arrested and charged with operating a boat under the influence after his vessel slammed into a moored boat at high speed on Wequaquet Lake Saturday night, according to a report filed in Barnstable District Court.
Sean Davies of Sandwich was operating the motorboat (registration MS9201BY) when it collided with an unoccupied, moored vessel near the Wequaquet Lake Yacht Club at 150 Annable Point Road around 10:15 p.m. on July 11, 2026. Barnstable police and Centerville-Osterville-Marstons Mills firefighters responded to the scene.
Three people were evaluated at the scene. One young man was transported to Cape Cod Hospital with a knee injury and a potential head injury. His injuries are not considered life-threatening.
Massachusetts Environmental Police Sergeant Aaron Fitzpatrick was notified by Barnstable officers around 10:50 p.m. and took over the investigation. When he spoke with Davies, Fitzpatrick observed slurred speech, glassy and bloodshot eyes, and an odor of alcohol on his breath. Davies, who identified himself as the boat's owner, told the sergeant they had been traveling fast but could not recall the exact speed when they struck the moored vessel.
Davies performed field sobriety tests and registered 0.122% on a preliminary breath test. He was placed under arrest and transported to Barnstable Police Headquarters for booking. A second breath test administered at 12:33 a.m. showed 0.10% blood-alcohol content ? above the legal limit of 0.08%.
An inspection of the boat revealed several open containers of alcohol, including Cutwater White Russian and Suncruiser Iced Tea and Vodka, along with additional nip bottles. The vessel also lacked the navigation lights required for nighttime operation and did not have an automatic fuel pump shut-off.
Davies was charged with operating a boat under the influence of alcohol, unsafe operation of a motorboat, and operating a vessel without the required automatic fuel pump shut-off.
HN Reminder: The initial details contained in the above report are based on radio transmissions, information from police sources, and documents filed in Barnstable District Court. The defendant is presumed to be innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

| Wrong-Way Driver and Passenger With $10K Cash Raise Suspicions in Early Hyannis Stop [Photo Notes] Tuesday July 14, 2026 |
|
HYANNIS, MASSACHUSETTS ? Plainclothes Barnstable police officers watched a dark-colored sedan pull out of a hotel parking lot and drive the wrong way down Main Street just after 1 a.m. Tuesday. They quickly stopped the car near the intersection with Sea Street.
A records check on the 25-year-old driver from Chelsea showed multiple past entries on his adult record, including gun and drug charges. Officers spotted what appeared to be drug paraphernalia inside the vehicle, including a straw with powdery residue.
The passenger had no identification. The name and date of birth he gave returned no matches in the system. Both men told officers they had just left the hotel after visiting a friend from the city who was staying there.
Officers had the pair step out of the car. During a pat frisk, they found roughly $10,000 in cash in the passenger's front pocket. When asked what he did for work, the passenger said he installs drywall. Pressed for the name of his company, he reportedly said he works for ?a friend.?
The stop occurred in an area with a history of narcotics activity. Officers called for a Barnstable Police K-9 unit trained in drug detection. The dog and officers searched the vehicle but found no narcotics.
The large amount of cash led officers to wonder whether a sale had just taken place. Without further evidence, both men were released. The driver received a traffic citation for driving the wrong way on Main Street. The entire encounter was documented, and both men were told what had raised suspicions. They appeared to understand. Before leaving, the passenger shook an officer's hand. Earlier, he reportedly told officers he is from Revere.
No arrests were made. The driver and passenger walked away ? one with a ticket, the other with his $10,000 still in his pocket. It was just early morning business as usual on the streets of Hyannis.
HN Reminder: The initial details contained in the above report are based on radio transmissions and information from police sources. All potential defendants are presumed to be innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

| Pursuit Ends on Centerville Cranberry Bog; 15-Year-Old Facing Criminal Charges [Photo Notes] Sunday July 12, 2026 |
|
ABOVE: A dark-colored Honda FIT sits abandoned on a cranberry bog access path in Centerville after a Barnstable Police pursuit early Sunday morning.
At approximately 2:30 a.m., a patrolman in an unmarked cruiser attempted a traffic stop near Pleasant Pines Avenue and Huckins Neck Road. The driver failed to stop, leading officers on a chase through winding back roads at times exceeding the posted speed limit. Officers were preparing to terminate the pursuit for safety reasons when the vehicle turned onto the bog access path near the end of Lakeview Drive. The chase ended roughly a quarter-mile out on the opposite side of the bog, where a teenage male fled into the woods on foot.
Using license plate information and prior contacts with police, officers quickly identified a 15-year-old male suspect and located him at a nearby residence after speaking with his grandfather. Following an investigation, the 15-year-old is being summoned to court on criminal motor vehicle charges. The vehicle was later removed from the bog by the grandfather and the juvenile.
The initial details are based on radio transmissions and information from police sources. The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

ABOVE: At around 9:15 p.m. Saturday, a Barnstable Police patrolman conducted a traffic stop on a small Honda SUV on Winter Street in Hyannis. During the stop, the patrolman noticed a man reaching around as if he was possibly attempting to conceal a weapon. The patrolman immediately radioed for backup.
