| 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.

| Man Arrested for Illegal Firearm Possession During Traffic Stop in Hyannis [Photo Notes] Sunday July 12, 2026 |
|
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. As backup arrived, the patrolman quickly positioned himself to open the vehicle door, gaining a better view and taking control of the situation. When confronted, the man admitted he had a gun in his waistband. He did not have a license to carry a firearm and was placed under arrest. An initial computer check of the firearm's serial number returned no information. Officers are continuing to investigate the origin of the firearm and whether it may be stolen. In the photos above, officers can be seen speaking with the other occupants of the vehicle, not the suspect.
No further details were available at the time of this report?
HN Reminder: The initial details contained in the above report are based on radio transmissions and information from police sources. The defendant is presumed to be innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
