On 07/29/19 at 11:13 hours, I responded to the Dunkin Donuts parking lot located at 138 Needham Street for a three car motor vehicle accident. Operator of MV1 stated at first she could not recall what occurred during the accident due to lightheadedness at the time. After, she then stated after pulling in to the Dunkin Donuts lot she was attempting to back in to a parking spot in the back of the lot. While backing up, she attempted to hit the brake pedal but must have pushed the gas pedal instead. The vehicle then struck parked/unoccupied MV2 and MV2 was then pushed in to parked/unoccupied MV3. The operator was checked out by Cataldo Ambulance and signed a patient refusal. MV1 sustained moderate driver's side rear bumper area damage but it was still driveable.

He was approached by the man who told him that he witnessed a Gray Dodge Ram bearing MA Reg 9JGD90 strike his Jeep Grand Cherokee that was parked and unoccupied causing moderate rear drivers side damage. MA Reg 9JGD90 came back to a 2018 Dodge Ram 1500 Gray in Color and registered to a Kenneth Doucette out of 41 Thaxter Street, Newton MA. I was able to locate several telephone numbers from our in house system however those numbers were no longer in service. I made several attempts to make contact with Mr. Doucette at his residents and had negative results. N491 Officer D. Healy also made an attempt to make contact with Kenneth Doucette later on in the evening and had negative results. I left a voicemail message to the witness and have yet to receive a return call for questioning. This will be further investigated on my next tour of Duty. **UPDATE Wednesday 09/04/19** At approximately 10:00 a.m. I went to 41 Thaxter Street to once again attempt to make contact with Kenneth Doucette and had negative results. I left another voicemail for the witness Claudio Silva and had negative results. I then spoke to Traffic Officer M. Gaudet to inform him about this incident and he stated that he will follow up with this investigation. Traffic Bureau update (Officer Gaudet): On September 4, 2019, I attempted to make contact with the witness to the crash, Claudio Silva, with a negative result. I made contact with the registered owner of MV2, Kenneth Doucette (S80920300). Doucette stated he was operating MA: 9JGD90 at the time of the accident. Doucette stated he pulled into a parking spot next to MV1 and stated he didn't think he "hit it hard". Doucette stated a short time later he left the area and when he got back to work he observed damage to his own vehicle. Doucette stated he had damage to the front passenger bumper area. Doucette stated he returned to the crash scene to see if the other vehicle had damage but it was gone. Doucette was advised and provided Massachusetts Uniform Citation T2016422 in hand for Chapter 90, Section 24 (Leaving the Scene of Property Damage, MV).

Narrative:
On 02/14/20 at approximately 14:45 I responded to a crash in the parking lot outside of #50 Winchester St- The Tile In Style store. Upon my arrival the Fire Department was already there and I was met by the owner of the building Bruno DiFazio. The vehicle that had struck the building had left the scene but he showed me security footage of the crash. The video showed a white S.U.V. (later determined to be Mass. Reg# 6GEL40 White 2017 Acura RDX owned and operated by Eleonora Revzin) pull slowly into a parking spot and then accelerate up and over the curb and into the building. The crash caused moderate damage to the brick facade and inside wall of the tile store. A short time later, Revzin drove back into the parking lot where I spoke with her. Revzin stated she didn't know why her car had accelerated into the building but she was having some personal issues and may have been distracted. She explained that she left the area because she was shaken up but then as she had time to clear her head, thought she should return to the store. There was minor damage to her vehicle and she stated she was not hurt and didn't want me to call the Medics for an evaluation. I issued Revzin Mass. Citation #T2013436 in hand for N.C.O. 19/75- Failure to use care in stopping and a verbal warning for leaving the scene. City of Newton Inspector Paul Nelson showed up and deemed the building to be structurally safe. N523 Officer Wilson arrived and took pictures of the scene.

Narrative:
The owner of MV1 states that he parked his car out front of 20 Tanglewood Road between 1000 and 1130 hours and when he returned to his vehicle there was a note on the winshield from a neighbor stating they witnessed a Black Lincoln SUV (MA Reg: 1ATF47) back into his van. MV1 sustained moderate damage to the front bumper. A queerie of 1ATF47 yielded a Black Licoln SUV with an owner of Alla Subach out of Brookline. Brookline police were able to provide me with a contact number of 7813675616 which I called and was able to speak with Mrs. Subach. Mrs. Subach states that she was aware she backed into the car but was in a rush so she told her friend who lives on Tanglewood Road to tell the owner of MV1 when he returned. Unfortunately Mrs. Subach's friend missed the owner which gave the appeareance of a hit and run. I provided Mrs. Subach with a copy of the report number and advised her how to handle these matters in the future. Neither car required a tow and there were no injuries sustained.

Narrative:
Motor vehicle 1 (MV1) was parked facing northbound in the parking lot of 98 Winchester Street ( Tedeschis), when an unknown motor vehicle 2 (MV2) crashed into the rear passengers side of MV1, and then left the area. It is unknown if MV2 backed into MV1 or hit MV1 head on. As a result of the crash, MV 1 sustained moderate passengers side rear end damage. An unknown witness told the owner of MV1 that the vehicle involved was a dark colored VW sedan with a MA registration of 826PHL, however, this registration number does not come back to a VW. 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. I spoke with the owner who allowed me access to review footage from the date and time 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 front passenger side bumper/fender area of the Volkswagon crashes into the rear passengers side of MV1 (NY: HXZ4415). 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. Mr. Medoff's information was added to this report to reflect him being the operator of MV2. I contacted the party in possession of MV1, Mr. Jason Medley, and advised him. The parking lot of Tedeschi's is private property but the public does have a right of access to the property.

Narrative:
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.

Narrative:
On 02/01/22 at 14:45 hours, I responded to 1025 Walnut St for a reported city motor vehicle crash involving a student transportation van and another vehicle. The weather at the time was 32 degrees and cloudy. The road surface was wet from a recent heavy snowfall. On arrival, I spoke to the operator of Vehicle # 1 identified as Gary Moresco (MA D/L # S26008460). He was working for JSC Transportation Services Inc. who provides transportation for City of Newton students. At the time of the crash he was transporting a student (Christopher Manthei) from Dearborn Academy back to his residence. He was operating a 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan color white bearing MA Pupils reg. # 104232. I asked him for his version of events and he stated that traffic was moderate at the time and he was heading westbound on Walnut Street. Next, he says that he stopped due to Vehicle # 2 stopping in front of him. Vehicle # 2 then started moving and suddenly came to a stop again. He was then not able to stop in time. He then struck the rear end of Vehicle # 2 causing front end damage to the entire length of the car which included the bumper, grille, and hood area. Mr. Moresco reported no injuries along with the student (Manthei). Manthei was checked out by Fallon Ambulance personnel and his mother signed a patient refusal on his behalf. The mother, Jennifer Manthei, then took her son home. Operator of Vehicle # 2 was identified as Lynn Slobodin (MA D/L # S98417005). She was operating a gray 2015 Toyota Rav4 bearing MA reg. # 3EB379. A passenger with her who was sitting in the front passenger seat was identified as Julia Hass. I asked Ms. Slodobin what had occurred and she stated that she was traveling westbound on Walnut Street and a vehicle in front of her suddenly stopped. She then stopped her vehicle and that is when she was rear ended by the Dodge. Her Toyota sustained rear end damage to the trunk and entire bumper area. Ms. Slobodin complained of head and neck pain along with pain on the top of her right thigh. Ms. Hass complained of head and neck pain also. Both were checked out by Fallon Ambulance personnel and they signed patient refusals. While investigating the crash, Ofc. Colella stated to me that a witness approached him identified as Brenda Noel. Ms. Noel resides at the crash location. She stated to Ofc. Colella that once she heard the crash she came out and saw the operator of the Dodge Grand Caravan on his phone. She says that he was holding the phone up to his head with his right hand. I then asked Mr. Moresco (Dodge operator) if he was on his phone prior to the crash and he replied that he was not. He then showed me his call log after asking for it and it showed only one entry at 14:53 hours. He states he was reporting the accident to his employer at that time. There were no other entries in his call log. Next, I looked at the front of Mrs. Noel's residence and observed a camera to the right of her doorway. I then knocked on her door and inquired about possible footage of the crash and she stated only her husband knows how to work the system. I then asked her again what she had seen. She states that once she heard the crash take place she saw the operator of the Dodge holding up his right hand to his head. She stated that she never saw an actual phone. I then gave her my information to call me regarding possible footage. She then called back later and stated that the camera does not show anything. Photos taken of the scene and submitted to the I.T. Bureau.
