On 01/31/19 at 10:39 hours, I responded to the parking lot of the Jewish Community Center located at 333 Nahanton Street for a motor vehicle hit and run accident. The parking lot is accessible to the public and designed for vehicles to travel to and from the JCC. Owner of M/V 1 states she was parked on the side of the handicapped parking stall thinking it was ok to park there. She then ran in to the JCC for approximately one minute and when she returned she observed her driver's side front door was struck. I observed significant damage to the door frame and the door would not close. The owner called for a private tow to remove the vehicle. The staff at the JCC stated that a Martha Bixby gave her number and stated that she observed a black colored car with MA reg. # 934HH4 strike M/V 1. I attempted to call the number and left a message. The listing for that plate comes back to a 2010 Lexus ES350 color gray. I was then showed the video surveillance from the JCC's cameras and it shows an older white female exiting the lobby wearing a winter hat and carrying a bag with purple flower designs on it. She then walks through the lot and enters a gray Lexus ES350. The Lexus then starts backing out of the spot. The Lexus then continues backwards in to the other side of the parking stalls and strikes M/V 1 on the driver's side front door. The Lexus then pulls forward and leaves the scene without stopping or providing her information. As the Lexus is leaving, you can see there is a dent to the driver's side rear bumper. The video is not clear enough to see the plate on the Lexus or clearly see the operator's face. After, I located a number for the owner of the Lexus M/V 2 (Tania Lefman). I spoke to Lefman on the phone and she stated that she was backing out of the JCC parking lot at that time and felt a tiny bump to her rear end. She says that she could not stop in time due to the icy parking lot and then left the area thinking that nothing was wrong, it was only minor. I advised her there was significant damage to the other car. She was issued and mailed MA Uniform Citation T1441054 for Ch. 90/24/C Leaving the scene of property damage.

On 03/19/19 at 14:57 hours, I responded to 220 Dedham Street for a past motor vehicle hit and run accident involving a parked car that occurred at 12:26 hours on this date. Dedham Street is a public way maintained by the City of Newton. The owner of M/V # 1 states her vehicle was legally parked in front of 220 Dedham Street facing northbound when she came out and found a note from a witness saying it was struck by a gray Honda Accord bearing MA Reg. # 8512HV. It appears that the operator of M/V # 2 side swiped M/V # 1 as it was passing by on Dedham Street. I observed marks to the driver's side rear door area and the side view mirror was broken. On 03/20/19 at 08:47 hours, I spoke to the witness, Kawtar Bhih, on the phone and she stated that she was parked on the opposite side of where the accident took place. Bhih observed a gray Honda Accord with an elderly female operating M/V # 2 on Dedham Street almost side swiped another parked car before side swiping M/V # 1. She says that the vehicle slowed down after and then continued to leave the scene of the accident. She then took a photo of the above listed registration plate. I attempted to contact the owner of M/V # 2 (Jali Medical Inc Waltham, MA) and the receptionist was not able to provide any information at the time. I was told to call back the next day. I gave the vehicle and registration info to the person inquiring if they could find a possible driver and call back. While working on this report, I observed that the owner of M/V # 2 was involved in a past accident in our system and the operator at the time had an address of 66 Country Club Rd. Newton. On 03/20/19 at approx. 09:30 hours, I went over to this address and observed M/V # 2 in the driveway with an operator inside. After inquiring about the accident, she stated she was driving down Dedham Street when she heard a noise coming from her passenger side view mirror as she had struck something. She then left the scene not thinking it was serious. I observed fresh damage to her passenger side mirror along with other marks along the doors which appeared to be older. Operator was issued in hand MA Uniform Citation # T1441710 for Ch. 90/S24 Leaving the scene of property damage.

On 03/20/19 at 09:43 hours, I responded to the Avalon Apartments at Newton Highlands located at 99 Needham Street for a past hit and run that occurred at the east end garage exit on 03/19/19 at 14:10 hours. I spoke to Senior Community Manager Karen Schueler who showed me video surveillance footage from yesterday's accident. In the video, you can see a blue Subaru Forester attempting to exit the east end of the garage to the property. The operator of the Subaru is identified by Ms. Schueler as a resident of the building as Gertrude Weinstein. After Weinstein scans her garage pass to exit, she then over steers towards the right and strikes the overhead garage door opening device. She then continues to exit the garage scraping the entire passenger side of her car along the device that is attached to the wall. I viewed the garage door and there was significant damage as it became detached from the wall. The door had to be placed out of service. After I spoke to Ms. Weinstein who admitted to striking the side of the garage door but only thought there was damage to her vehicle. No citation issued as the underground garage to the building is private property and not a public way.

MV1 was backing out of her parking spot in the parking lot at 916 Walnut St when she stopped to allow a pedestrian to cross in front of her vehicle. While she was waiting for the pedestrian to cross safely a vehicle backing out of the parking space across from hers backed into her vehicle and left the scene. Operator 1 was able to obtain a photo of the license plate. I then was able to contact operator 2 on the phone who stated she was at 916 Walnut St and "tapped" a vehicle when leaving and then left the scene. No injuries and both vehicle driven from the scene. MV1 sustained minor damage to the passenger side. Operator 2 states there is no damage to MV2. Operator 2 issued and mailed MA Uniform Citation T1442192 for leaving the scene property damage.

The owner of MV1 stated that he was working inside Mr. K's Discount Wine and Spirits when a witness came into the store and asked if he owned a white Toyota Camry parked outside and then explained that another car had backed into it and then left the scene. When he came out he observed a large dent in the passengers side rear bumper that was not there before. Officer Selig tracked down the owner of MA Registration 3EF576 at 20 Hale Street and the operator of MV2 admitted to being in the parking lot but denied striking MV1. It should be noted that while at Mr. Wendt's residence both Officer Selig and I observed MA reg 3EF576 parked in driveway of 20 Hale Street with damage to the left rear bumper consistent with how the witnesses stated MV2 struck MV1. Based on the 2 witness statements that express that the operator of the Nissan Pickup knew he struck another vehicle and still left the scene I issued the operator of MV2, Mr. Spencer Wendt, Massachusetts Uniform Citation T1443928, a criminal application to appear in Newton District Court for 90-24 Leaving the Scene of Property Damage. A copy of this report as a well as the criminal application were placed in the court prosecutors mailbox.

Operator of vehicle one, Benjamin Beaver stated that while driving south bound near 321 Walnut St his vehicle ( MA reg 551DK8 2014 Lexus ) made contact with a pedestrian in a marked crosswalk. Walnut St is a public way in the city of Newton. Beaver stated that he did not see the pedestrian prior to the crash and that his vehicle was travailing approximately 5 to 10 MPH. Beaver stated that the pedestrian was knocked to the ground but got up and walked around. The pedestrian, NNHS student Benjamin Donovan stated that he was crossing east to west in the marked crosswalk in front of 321 Walnut St. Donovan stated that he saw Beaver's vehicle approaching him at approximately 5 to 10 MPH. Believing that Beaver was stopping to let him cross , Donovan stated that he held up his left hand to signal to Beaver that he was going to cross. Donovan stated that Beaver's vehicle struck him on his left side and knocked him to the ground. Donovan stated that he had minor scrapes on his right side as a result of falling to the ground. Donovan stated that he did not lose consciousness and was transported via EMS to Newton Wellesley Hospital for treatment. I took photos of Beaver's vehicle and forward the disk to NPD IT Bureau. I issued Beaver MA Citation T 1269995 and cited him for a violation of MGL Ch 89 C 11, failure to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk. On 06/12/2019 I was forwarded an E-mail from Capt Anastasia of a video of the crash that was taken from a camera that was mounted on the roof of 321 Walnut St. The video shows Donovan walking into the marked crosswalk from the east side of Walnut St and hold up his left had to Beaver's on oncoming vehicle.

The video shows that Beaver did not brake until Donovan was struck and landed on his vehicles hood. Donovan was thrown approximately 10 feet from Beaver's vehicle and landed on his right side on the roadway. The video shows Beaver stopping and pulling to the side of the roadway after the crash.

On 11/12/2019 at 12:26 hours, I responded to the Star Market parking lot located at 2040 Commonwealth Avenue for a motor vehicle pedestrian accident. The parking lot is a public/thru way that motorists use to access the Star Market along with other businesses. The weather at the time was cloudy and rainy and the parking lot was saturated. Prior to my arrival, the pedestrian involved left the scene and did not want to speak to the officer nor wanted medical attention. Ofc. Claflin then cancelled Cataldo Ambulance. The pedestrian, Mary Alexander, left her information with a store employee prior to leaving. I spoke to the operator of MV # 1 (Joshua Randel MD Lic.# R534440603244) who stated that he was travelling through the third row of the Star Market parking lot at an appropriate speed. He was then attempting to make a left turn near the entrance/exit of the store. He says that there was a large white van parked in the end handicapped spot towards the left of him. He says the van was sticking out in the spot limiting his visibility. As he was half way through his left turn and coming around the corner, he was not able to see a pedestrian pushing a shopping carriage. He then struck the carriage that was being pushed by Mary Alexander. He further says that the cart jolted Ms. Alexander and she fell down to the ground. At the time, Alexander was walking through the lot near the store entrance heading back towards the parked cars. She was not in the crosswalk at the time which was approximately ten feet down from her location. After, I attempted to go to Ms. Alexander's residence to follow up. I spoke to her friend who was bringing up Alexander's groceries and she stated that she decided to go to Newton Wellesley Hospital for treatment. I then spoke to Ms. Alexander in the lobby of the hospital. She stated that she was exiting the store through the lot with her shopping carriage. She believes she was approximately eight feet away from the door when all of a sudden she only saw red coming at her. She believes MV # 1 was speeding at the time. I asked her if she was struck by the vehicle or was the shopping carriage only struck. She replied that she did not know and only remembers falling to the ground after. She sustained a large bruise to the inside palm area of her right hand and her left knee was swollen. Digital photos of the scene were taken and pictures of Ms. Alexander's injuries were taken at the hospital. As far as possible video surveillance, I was told that the Loss Prevention Department has to access the video. On 11/13/19 at approximately 14:20 hours, I went in to the Star Market and spoke to the manager, Nidal Rajeh, inquiring about possible video surveillance. He said there is coverage in the parking lot and he was able to show me the video. A copy of the video would have to be done by Loss Prevention which I requested. I observed at the 12:12pm mark in the video, MV # 1 was parked five spots up from the third row of the lot that he was exiting. I also observed a white transport van parked in the end handicapped spot mentioned by the operator but it was parked correctly and not limiting visibility. Next, MV # 1 backs out of the spot and drives forward going at a reasonable speed. The pedestrian (Alexander) has already exited the store with her carriage and is walking at an angle toward the same third row of parked cars. As the pedestrian is walking towards the direction of MV # 1, it appears that the pedestrian should be visible to him. MV # 1 then starts to take the left turn around the corner without slowing or stopping and strikes the carriage head on. Due to the impact, Alexander then loses grasp of the carriage and it goes past her twisting her body around. She then hits and rolls up on the hood of the vehicle on her left side. MV # 1 then suddenly stops and immediately gets out and provides assistance to the pedestrian. Due to the video surveillance, Mr. Randel will be issued/mailed MA Uniform Citation # T2012347 for Ch. 90/14/A Failure to slow for a pedestrian.

The Tedeschis does have cameras facing the parking lot, however, the employee working at the time of the crash did not have access to them and advised that the manager would be able access the footage tomorrow. On Monday, May 3, 2021, I investigated a Hit and Run crash that occurred at 98 Winchester Street, Newton on May 2, 2021 (Crash#2100000303). I responded to Tedeschi's located at 98 Winchester Street, Newton in an attempt to recover surveillance footage of the crash.

At approximately 1223 hours a black/dark blue Volkswagon sedan is observed entering the Tedeschi's parking lot from Dedham Street (N). The vehicle is observed taking a wide left turn around another vehicle that enters the parking lot from the Winchester Street entrance (E).

The Volkswagon is then observed leaving the parking lot (W) out of the Winchester Street side of the lot. The Volkswagon then leaves view of the camera. The Volkswagon's back rear window has white lettering on the bottom. I searched CopLink for registration matches from the Newton area that contain characteristic from the reported registration provided by a witness. MA: 826PH4 comes back to a blue Volkswagon Passat registered to Ms. Joanne Medoff (S95046822) with an address out of 115 Upland Avenue, Newton. This address is 0.1 miles away from where the crash took place. I arrived at 115 Upland Avenue and observed a dark colored Volkswagon Passat (MA: 826PH4) parked in the driveway. This vehicle had moderate recent damage to it's front passenger side bumper/fender area that would be consistent with the crash from Tedeschi's. This vehicle also had the same white lettering present on the bottom of the rear window as the vehicle in the surveillance footage. I rang the doorbell to this address and spoke with Mr. Colby Medoff (S13831145). Mr. Medoff stated the vehicle in the driveway is his but it is registered to his mother. Ms. Medoff came to the door and I explained the circumstances for me speaking with them. After speaking to Mr. Medoff, he admitted to being the operator of the Volkswagon when it crashed into the rear passenger side of MV1. I asked Mr. Medoff why he did not stop and provide his information to the owner of the other vehicle. Mr. Medoff stated he was scared. Mr. Medoff was provided with Massachusetts Uniform Citation 990226AA in hand for Chapter 90, Section 24 (Leaving the Scene of Property Damage). Mr. Medoff was advised. Photos of the Volkswagon and media from the Tedeschi's surveillance footage were submitted to the IT Bureau.

The parking lot of Tedeschi's is private property but the public does have a right of access to the property.

MV1 was stopped in front of 206 Elliot St. waiting to turn left onto Cottage St. when MV2 struck the rear end of his vehicle. I asked the operator of MV2 if he was following MV1 too close which he stated "no" that he had looked away for a second and when he looked back up he noticed that MV1 was stopped and that was when he tried to stop and struck the back of MV1. Newton Fire Department was on scene and witnessed the incident. Both operators did not want medical attention. Operator of MV2 was given a written warning for improper operation 90/12 (Citation #2014395).

MV1 was operable and was able to leave the scene. MV2 sustained heavy front end damage and was towed away by Tody's Towing Service.

On Monday, June 28, 2021, while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I was entering my marked cruiser to leave the parking lot at the rear of 1321 Washington Street, Newton. The rear parking lot of the police station features a public right of access, but is restricted for authorized vehicle. There are signs posted at both entrances to the parking lot stating, "RESTRICTED AREA Newton Police Department Authorized Vehicles Only Beyond This Point. As I entered my cruiser, I observed a red 2020 Jeep Wrangler (CT: AX89516) parked directly across from my cruiser facing Eastbound. This vehicle was not parked in a marked parking spot and was the last vehicle in the parking lot from the Cherry Street entrance on the North side of the lot. I observed that the front bumper of this vehicle made contact with the rear bumper area of a parked 2018 Tesla Model 3 (EV3617 ). I exited my vehicle and walked over to the vehicles to investigate if a crash had occurred. I observed a black male party sitting in the front passenger seat of the Jeep. The driver seat was vacant. The Jeep had its driver door and passenger door windows rolled down. The vehicle was not running and there were no keys in the ignition. As I approached the passenger side door, the male passenger appeared to be asleep and I could detect a moderate odor of alcoholic beverage emanating from the passenger seat area. I woke up the passenger and inquired where the driver of the vehicle was. The passenger identified himself by his Connecticut ID as Masengo Kabongo (#178372788). Mr. Kabongo stated his cousin Marcel was the operator of the vehicle and they had pulled into their current parking spot so Marcel could run an errand. Mr. Kabongo stated he did not know where his cousin was, and he could not locate his phone to contact his cousin. I asked Mr. Kabongo if he was aware he was parked in the Newton Police Station parking lot and that the vehicle he was sitting in crashed into an employee's vehicle parked in front of them. Mr. Kabongo stated he was not aware. Mr. Kabongo appeared to be very confused with the situation and continued to state he did not know why they were there and where his cousin was. The registered owner of the Tesla arrived and assessed the damage to his vehicle. I observed minor damage to the rear bumper area to MV2. There was also minor damage to the front bumper of MV1. The owner of MV2 was able to review footage of the crash from his vehicles exterior surveillance system. While viewing this video with him, I observed MV1 enter the Newton Police Department parking lot from Cherry Street and pull right behind MV2. MV1 appeared to be occupied by two black males at this time. One in the passenger seat and one in the driver seat. MV1's front bumper area is then observed crashing into the rear bumper area of MV2. The Newton Police Department IT Bureau was able to observe the crash from a surveillance camera affixed to the Newton Police Department maintenance garage (facing Cherry Street). The video captures MV1 entering the parking lot and crashing into the rear of MV2. A black male with light colored shorts and a dark T-shirt is observed exiting the driver side door and walking away from the area up Cherry Street (S) to Washington Street. I explained to Mr. Kabongo that the crash was captured on our surveillance system and that his cousin appeared to be the operator. Mr. Kabongo stated his cousin was currently in Newton District Court being arranged for a previous incident (Report #21027283). I looked up recent bookings for NPD and I observed a party matching the name Mr. Kabongo provided. On Friday, June 25, 2021. Mr. Marcel Mengue-Ngoumou was arrested and cited by the Newton Police Department for OUI (Subsequent Offense), Negligent Operation, Marked Lanes, Open Container, and Unlicensed Operation. I contacted the Newton Police Department Court Prosecutor, Officer Hagopian, to see of Mr. Mengue-Ngoumou was still present in Newton District Court. Officer Hagopian stated he contacted the court and Mr. Mengue-Ngoumou was waiting to be arraigned. Myself and Officer Hagopian responded to Newton District Court to try and speak with Mr. Mengue-Ngoumou. Upon entering Session 1 in NDC, the lone individual sitting in the gallery was a party matching the description of the party from the surveillance footage. I spoke with Assistant District Attorney Nathan Stetson who was present in the court room. I apprised him of the current incident that Mr. Mengue-Ngoumou was involved in and told him I was going to speak with him. Mr. Mengue-Ngoumou at this time was sitting on the second to last bench on the left side of Session 1 as you walk into the courtroom. The exit to the courtroom was behind him. I approached Mr. Mengue-Ngoumou from the front of the courtroom and explained to him that I had just spoken to his cousin in the parking lot of the Newton Police Department. I explained to him the vehicle his cousin was sitting in had crashed into a parked vehicle belonging to a Newton Police Department employee. I explained to Mr. Mengue-Ngoumou that his cousin had identified him as the operator of the vehicle. I then asked Mr. Mengue-Ngoumou who was operating the vehicle when they were traveling to court today. Mr. Mengue-Ngoumou stated he was the operator. I asked Mr. Mengue-Ngoumou if he knew he had parked in the Newton Police Department parking lot. Mr. Mengue-Ngoumou stated he did not. I asked Mr. Mengue-Ngoumou if he knew he crashed into a parked vehicle in the parking lot. Mr. Mengue-Ngoumou stated he did not. I asked Mr. Mengue-Ngoumou if he knew he was not supposed to be operating a vehicle because of his incident from the other night and his license being suspended. Mr. Mengue-Ngoumou stated he did. I apprised ADA Stetson to my conversation with Mr. Mengue-Ngoumou. Mr. Mengue-Ngoumou was issued Massachusetts Uniform Citation 054528AB in hand for Chapter 90, Section 23(K) (Operating a MV after suspension, subsequent offense), and Chapter 90, Section 24 (Leaving the Scene of Property Damage).

Mr. Parker stated he was operating his vehicle in the parking lot of the JCC at the time and date of the crash. Mr. Parker acknowledged his vehicle made contact with another vehicle while he was attempting to park. Mr Parker stated after making contact with the other vehicle, he exited that parking spot because it was too tight and parked in another parking spot. Mr. Parker stated there is no new damage to his vehicle and the damage I described in the pictures Mr. Drukman forwarded to me was old. I advised Mr. Parker that I was citing him for leaving the scene of property damage. Mr. Parker admitted to crashing into MV1 as he was attempting to park in the JCC parking lot. Mr. Parker knowingly made contact with another vehicle and made no effort to exchange information with the owner of the vehicle he crashed into. The pictures submitted by Mr. Drukman of his vehicle show obvious fresh damage as a result of a crash.

On Wednesday, September 1, 2021, while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the Newton Centre Municipal Parking Lot (797 Beacon Street, Newton) for a report of a motor vehicle crash involving a pedestrian with a potential head injury. The weather at the time of the crash was cloudy and overcast. The road surface at the time of the crash was dry. The Newton Centre Municipal Parking Lot is open for public travel and use and is maintained by the City of Newton I spoke with the operator of the 2016 Audi 32 (MA: 4PL345) involved in the crash, Mr. Peter Schiller (S26414610). Mr. Schiller stated he entered the Newton Centre lot from Langley Road and made a right turn to enter the back row of parking stalls. Mr. Schiller stated he then took a left turn into the parking area to look for a spot. Mr. Schiller stated he did not see the pedestrian in the roadway in time and his vehicle's front end crashed into the pedestrian. Mr. Schiller estimated the crash happened right near the first car parked in the row closest to where he entered. I showed Mr. Schiller the believed area of impact was actually 3 car stalls in, and the crash occurred in the middle of the travel way. I asked Mr. Schiller if he has any medical conditions or takes any medication that would effect his ability to operator a motor vehicle. Mr. Schiller stated he does not. Mr. Schiller reported no injuries as a result of the crash. I observed very minor damage to the front hood/bumper/fender area of his vehicle from where the crash took place. I did observe soil covering the hood area. The injured pedestrian was carrying a plant with soil in the pot. I asked Mr. Schiller if he could recall where he made contact with the pedestrian or how the pedestrian ended up in front of his vehicle. Mr. Schiller stated he thought the injured pedestrian was running towards his car when the made his turn. I spoke with a witness that remained on scene, Mr. Nicholas Ryland. Mr. Ryland stated he was walking in the Newton Centre lot while pushing his daughter in her stroller. Mr. Ryland stated he observed MV1 enter the lot from Langley Road and took the right turn into the lot at a high rate of speed. Mr. Ryland stated he stopped with the stroller next to the first vehicle parked in the roadway where the last parking stalls begin. The MV1's driver side operated past Mr. Ryland's left side, took a left turn, and then Mr. Ryland stated he heard the crash. The crash took place in the middle of the roadway in between the parking stalls to the East and West of MV1. I responded to Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston to follow up with the pedestrian injured in the crash, Ms. Sophia Alexandridies (S49399467). Ms. Alexandridies was transported to the emergency department by Fallon Medics with multiple injuries including a head injury. Due to Ms. Alexandridies's injuries, I was unable to obtain a statement from her about the events of the crash. I spoke with Ms. Alexandridies's daughter, Christina, in the emergency department. Christina stated Ms. Alexandridies suffered a head injury, along with possible broken ribs and an injury to her left shoulder. Most of the injuries reported are on Ms. Alexandridies's left side, the presumed area of impact with the vehicle. Due to the circumstances of this crash, and Mr. Schiller being involved in another surchargeable crash on April 28, 2021, a Request for Immediate Threat License Suspension was submitted to the Registry of Motor Vehicles at DCUImmediateThreat@massmail.state.ma.us. Mr. Schiller is also being cited with Massachusetts Uniform Citation 119853AB for Newton City Ordinance Chapter 19, Section 75 (Fail To Use Care). On September 2, 2021, I contacted Mr. Schiller to provide him with additional information about the crash. Mr. Schiller stated he did not realize Ms. Alexandridies was injuried in the crash. Mr. Schiller also stated he has no recollection of being involved in a crash in April. Mr. Schiller was advised to contact his insurance company to inquire about his last crash. Photos were taken of the area and MV1 and submitted to the IT Bureau. I canvassed the area for survellance footage of the crash with a negative result.

On 09/01/2021 from 07:00 hours to 14:00 hours I worked a paid detail for AR Belli Inc, a general contractor at 870 Walnut St. Walnut St is a public way in the City of Newton. At 11:33 hours I observed MA passenger registration 1NDV86 a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado pick up truck driving south bound on Walnut St across from number 870. I observed that the Chevrolet was operated by Edmilson Ramos. I observed Ramos's truck's passenger side mirror strike the driver's side mirror of a vehicle owned by AR Belli that was parked unoccupied in a coned off work zone facing south bound on Walnut St across from number 870. The AR Belli owned vehicle that was struck was MA commercial registration N82544 a 2010 Ford F250 pick up truck. After the crash Ramos pulled his vehicle to the side of the road and exited it. I spoke with Ramos who stated to me that Spanish was his primary language. An employee of AR Belli that was fluent in Spanish translated for me. Ramos stated that he has resided in Ashland for the past 7 years and that he does not have a MA driver's license. Ramos stated that the truck he was driving was his and was registered to his company , Ramos Carpentry Services. Ramos produced for me a Driver Authorization Card issued by the Nevada Department of Motor vehicles that was issued on 02/06/2020 and listed a Las Vegas address ( 5419 W Tropicana Ave apt 820 ). Promptly stated across the front of the card is " not valid for identification " . Ramos could not answer how and when he obtained the card and if he ever resided in Nevada. I consulted the Nevada DMV web site while on scene and discovered that the state of Nevada issues Driver Authorization cards to " Nevada residents who cannot meet the proof of identify requirements for a driver's licenses " and that the cards " authorize the holder to drive a motor vehicle on Nevada public streets and highways." In the FAQ section it states that the cards are not valid out side of Nevada. It should be noted that Ramos has been cited in MA twice for unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle in 2015 and in 2008 with an MA OLN of A15072684. Ramos also has an X number MA OLN of X 12918045 with no driver's history attached to it. I informed Ramos that I would be issuing to him via US mail MA Criminal Application T2016947 and citing him for a violation of MGL 90/10 operation of a motor vehicle with out a license. I explained to Ramos what action he needed to take at Newton District Court once he received the Criminal Application. Ramos stated that he understood. Ramos was advised to fill out a crash report and to contact his insurance company. Ramos called a licensed driver to take possession of his truck. A CJIS query of Ramos's Nevada Driver Authorization Card number ( 2106608101 ) revealed that it was active until 07/15/2024 and it also listed a PO Box ( 30833 Las Vegas NV 89173-3033 ) as the primary contact address.

On Thursday, September 23, 2021, while assigned to Traffic unit N525, I responded to the area of 358 Beacon Street, Newton for a report of a motor vehicle/bicycle crash with injury. The weather at the time of the crash was clear and sunny. The road surface was dry. Beacon Street is a public way maintained by the City of Newton. I spoke with the operator of the vehicle involved, Mr. Thomas Mogan (S29907615).

Mr. Mogan stated he observed a break in the traffic traveling on Beacon Street (E) towards Hammond Street in front of his driveway. Mr. Mogan took a left turn from the Westbound lane of Beacon Street to enter his driveway. While making his turn, his vehicle crashed into a bicyclist traveling on Beacon Street (E) in the marked bicycle lane in front of 358 Beacon Street. Mr. Mogan stated he did not see the bicyclist until the front passenger side fender/door area of his vehicle made contact with her. I observed minor damage to this area on his vehicle. Mr. Mogan reported no injuries. The injured bicyclist was identified as Ms. Louisa Palmer (S67185637). Ms. Palmer was treated on scene by Fallon Medics for injuries to her left wrist and ankle and transported to Brigham and Women's Hospital for further evaluation. Ms. Palmer was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash and I observed her blue Bianchi Pista bicycle resting on the sidewalk in front of 358 Beacon Street. The bicycle had minor damage in to it's front wheel area and fresh scrapes near the handlebars. I transported the bicycle to Ms. Palmer's residence. I responded to Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston and spoke with Ms. Palmer in the Emergency Department. Ms. Palmer stated she was riding her bicycle on Beacon Street (E) towards Boston College. Ms. Palmer stated she was riding in the marked bicycle lane with the motor vehicle traffic to her left. Ms. Palmer stated she observed a break in the traffic on Beacon Street ahead of her, and then a Jeep entered her travel lane after it took a left turn from the Westbound travel lane on Beacon Street right in front of her. Ms. Palmer stated her left side crashed into the front passenger side wheel/hood area. Ms. Palmer stated she then fell to the roadway. Ms. Palmer stated she has injuries to her left wrist/arm area, her left ankle, and her hips. I spoke with a witness to the crash, Ms. Kelli McCusker. Ms. McCusker stated she was traveling on Beacon Street (E) towards Boston College at the time of the crash. Ms. McCusker stated there was heavy traffic in the area as she observed a bicyclist travel by the passenger side of her car. Ms. McCusker stated there was a break in the traffic ahead of her in the Eastbound lane and she observed a Jeep in the Westbound lane of Beacon Street make a left turn in front of the car in front of her. Ms. McCusker stated the Jeep and the bicyclist crashed into each other at this time. After speaking with all parties involved, Mr. Mogan did not yield to the right of way while Ms. Palmer was traveling on Beacon Street (E) on her bicycle. Mr. Mogan will be issued Massachusetts Uniform Citation for Chapter 90, Section 14B (Fail To Yield To Bicyclist on Turn). Photos were taken of the scene and submitted to the IT Bureau.

Upon arrival I spoke with the operator,(BROWNE Sarah Ann) of MV#1(MA REG 514HH4) who states that she was stopped at the stop sign at the intersection of Rt 9 Eastbound. She was attempting to enter Rt 9 Eastbound waiting for traffic to clear when she was struck in the rear by motor vehicle#2.

REED's license plate, (NY REG JNZ6912) came back to a 1999 Brown Toyota Camry, however this license plate was attached to a 2011 White Honda Civic belonging to Luis Rios. Subsequently I queried the Vin number on the vehicle (2HGFA1F88BH525771) Which came back to the vehicle on scene, a 2011 White Honda Civic owned by REED with a suspended registration due to invalid proof of insurance. Finally I queried REED's California Drivers License (Y2616596) which came back as EXPIRED with a status of "Withdrawn Pending PDPS Clearance". While I was conducting the investigation Tody's was en route to tow the vehicle. Due to the damage from the crash the vehicle was inoperable.

Once activated, he says a vehicle traveling eastbound on Beacon Street stopped for him. He then entered the crosswalk from the eastbound side of Beacon Street going across the street with his walking cane. He kept walking in to the westbound travel lane of Beacon Street when he was suddenly struck by a motor vehicle. Thomas could not provide what type or color of the vehicle. As a result, Thomas fell forward and was knocked down to the ground on both hands and knees. He also says that his right cheek and eyeglasses struck the pavement which damaged the lens to his glasses. He sustained a bruised (black and blue) right eye. He says approximately seven days later he started having neck pain to which he has been receiving medical attention for. He also states an upper right side tooth implant fell out of his mouth. After the crash, he states he was helped up by two unknown bystanders. An elderly white female who was operating the vehicle that struck him approached him. Thomas says that the female told him that she did not see him crossing the street as she was looking down and not up at the time. She provided him with her name of Jill Levin and her telephone number before leaving. Thomas states he was wearing gray colored khaki pants, sneakers, and a light blue t-shirt at the time of the crash. Next, I attempted to call the number for Jill Levin and left her a message to call me back. At approximately 14:45 hours on this date, Ms. Levin came in to NPD Headquarters and spoke to me. I asked her if she was involved in a accident during the month of June. She stated that there was an incident on a Thursday approximately three weeks ago in June of 2022 at approximately 14:30 hours. She says she was driving her 2013 Lexus 450RX color gray bearing MA reg. # 6RK464 westbound on Beacon Street near address number 808. She saw an older male crossing in the crosswalk and she says that she stopped for him. The male then suddenly fell down in front of her car. She states that she never struck him with her vehicle. She then got of her vehicle and asked him if he needed any assistance to which he replied that he was fine and did not need anything. He provided his name to her. She then provided her name and phone number on a piece of paper. I asked Ms. Levin why she would provide her information to Mr. Jones if no accident occurred. She replied that it was the right thing to do as far as checking on him and seeing if he needed any assistance. I then inquired why Mr. Jones would alledge that she stated to him on scene that you did not see him crossing the street. Also, that you were looking down and not up. Ms. Levin denied ever stating this to Jones. I then went outside and looked at her Lexus 450RX to check for any damage to the front end of the vehicle. I observed two small scratches to the passenger side front bumper which appear unrelated. The marks were indicative of white paint transfer from having contact with another vehicle. Ms. Levin did not know where the marks came from. I advised her that I would investigate this further and check to see if there is surveillance footage from the Bank of America or other source. After, I attempted to call Bank of America and could not reach anyone there. I will check the area and go to the bank on 07/08/22 during my next shift. On 07/08/22 at approximately 09:10 hours, I went up to 808 Beacon Street and observed no other surveillance cameras in the area. I went in to the Bank of America and spoke to the branch manager. He showed me the multiple camera angles they have, but none show out in to Beacon Street. As a result of this investigation and the statements made by both parties, I believe that Mr. Jones was struck by Ms. Levin's vehicle. The fact that Ms. Levin got out of her vehicle to check on Jones and provide her information to him even though she claims no accident took place is highly unlikely. Therefore, I am issuing Ms. Levin MA Uniform Citation # 507419AB for Chapter 89/11 Crosswalk Violation. The citation was mailed out on 07/08/22. I spoke to Ms. Levin on the phone explaining a citation was issued and mailed to her.

On Tuesday, July 19, 2022, while assigned to unit N496, I responded to the area of Beacon Street and Dalton Road, Newton for a report of a crash involving a pedestrian. The weather at the time of the crash was clear and sunny. The road surface was dry. Beacon Street and Dalton Road are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. I spoke with the operator of the vehicle involved, Ms. Svetlana Shur (S58558433). Ms. Shur stated she was operating her 2007 Toyota Camry (MA: 852KY1) out of the parking lot next to 714 Beacon Street, Newton. Ms. Shur stated she approached the intersection and her attention was focused to her left as she was attempting to merge onto Beacon Street. Ms. Shur stated when she started to make her turn, she crashed into a crossing female pedestrian. Ms. Shur and her passenger, Mr. Leonid Shur reported no injuries. I observed minor damage to the front passenger side of MV1. I spoke with the pedestrian involved in the crash, Ms. Sonig Varadian. Ms. Varadian stated she was crossing Beacon Street in the marked crosswalk (S to N) towards Dalton Road. Ms. Varadian stated as she was in the crosswalk, MV1 took a right turn out of the parking lot of 714 Beacon Street and crashed into her left side. Ms. Varadian stated she then rolled and fell onto the roadway. Ms. Varadian had numerous scrapes and cuts on her person as a result of the crash and signed a patient refusal with Newton Medics. A witness to the crash, Ms. Rebecca Fishman, stated she observed the crash as she was traveling on Beacon Street (W) towards Dalton Road. Ms. Fishman stated she observed the female pedestrian in the roadway crossing and observed MV1 take a right turn out of the parking lot to 714 Beacon Street and crash into the pedestrian. Ms. Shur was cited in hand with Massachusetts Uniform Citation 520381AB for Chapter 89, Section 11 (Crosswalk Violation).

The owner of MV#1 stated she parked her vehicle in the municipal parking lot located at 16 Hartford St. When she returned to her vehicle she observed MV#2 (Parked behind her vehicle) touching her rear bumper. The owner of MV#1 stated she had parked her vehicle approximately 1.5 hours ago and MV#2 was not parked behind her previously. The owner of MV#1 showed me her parking receipt (Parking space #5548) and it displayed a time stamp of 11:19 AM. The owner of MV#2 arrived shortly after and stated to me, "don't give me a ticket. I'm leaving". I stated to the owner of MV#2 that I responded for a vehicle accident and not for a parking violation. I showed the owner of MV#2 that the front of her vehicle was touching the rear of MV#1 and she stated that MV#1 hit her vehicle instead of the other way around. The owner of MV#2 stated she had parked her vehicle (Parking space #5549 ) approximately 40 minutes prior to my arrival but did not have a parking receipt because she never paid for parking. The owner of MV#2 stated she may not have been aware she made contact with MV#1 when she parked her vehicle. Both involved vehicles were unoccupied during this accident. both vehicle owners exchanged information and were advised to notify their insurance providers. There were minor/ non visible damages to the rear end area of MV#1 and minor/ non visible damages to the front end of MV#2.
