On the above date/time I responded to the area Dedham St/Parker St for a report of two motor vehicle crash with minor injuries. Upon arrival with Fire/medics I spoke to the oper of v1 Ms. Hollowell who had a shoulder injury due to side impact. She stated she was traveling on Dedham Street (east) applied her left turn signal and was turning left onto Parker Street when v2 went through the stop sign and struck her vehicle. I spoke to the operator of v2 Ms. Kuznetsova who stated she was stopped at the stop sign on Parker St ( south) She stated she accelerated forward turning left (east) onto Dedham St when vehicle one struck into her vehicle. Oper of v1 signed a patient refusal and oper of v2 had no injury. Both parties were unsure of the area in the intersection of impact, all vehicles were moved by the operators prior to my arrival and I could not find any physical characteristics in/ on the roadway to find impact area. Therefore the diagram reflects the damage points on the vehicles but not the impact area on the roadway. All parties advised of the process.

I responded to the area 107 Dartmouth St. at approx. 0345 on 04/28/9019 along with N493 Officer Kelly Donahue and N508 Sgt. Devine for a report of an MVA. The MVA was reported to be single vehicle crash. The vehicle left the roadway and was on the front lawn of 107 Dartmouth St. I arrived on location (first on scene ). I observed tire tread marks across the front lawn of 107 Dartmouth St. I then observed a vehicle in the bushes toward the left front side of the house. The vehicle; NY Reg. JHE8252, Porsche color blue. The RMV info on the plate came back registered to Porsche;of ;South. Registration plate type: Dealer Assignment. 185 W Sunrise HWY; Freeport,NY (no further info). The vehicle was unoccupied and secured. I felt the hood of the car which was still warm from the engine. I checked the immediate area surrounding the crash scene for an operator but found no one. I radioed to other responding units to canvas the neighborhood and surrounding area for the operator on foot. I spoke to the homeowners at 107 Dartmouth St., identified as Anthony and June Limberis. Mrs. Limberis stated she heard a load noise and a car engine revving. She stated when she looked out the window she observed a W/M tall, thin, wearing tan khakis and a light colored plaid shirt walking across the front lawn. He proceeded up Dartmouth St. (northbound) toward Commonwealth Ave. Newton Fire Dept arrived on location to check the crash scene and vehicle for possible leaking fluids and any other hazards. As I was talking with the firefighters we were approached by two men. One of the men was intoxicated. He was unsteady on his feet, had glassy bloodshot eyes, and was slurring his speech. The man was a W/M tall/thin approx. 6'2" and was wearing tan khakis and a light colored plaid shirt. He was identified as Eric Adams DOB 09/18/1969. The second man with him was identified as John Adams DOB 02/07/1936; An elderly W/M approx. 5'6" also wearing tan khakis and a light colored plaid shirt. Eric Adams stated his father John was the operator of the vehicle. Eric Adams had a strong odor of Alcoholic beverage emanating from his person and breath. He continued to slur his speech and was unsteady on his feet as he spoke. He was swaying back and forth and side to side as he spoke to me. Officer K. Donahue and Sgt. Devine were on scene at this time and also made the same observations. Multiple times we had to grab hold of Eric Adams to keep him from losing balance and falling. We spoke with Eric and John Adams for several minutes as their accounts of what took place were not consistent. I asked Eric Adams where the keys to the vehicle were. Eric Adams immediately pulled the starter key to the vehicle from his front right pocket. Eric Adams became defensive and belligerent when questioned about who was operating the vehicle. John Adams appeared tired (as if he just woke up) and confused as to the situation. Sgt Devine and I both spoke with Eric Adams and John Adams. Although both men claim John Adams was the operator of the vehicle, a clear determination was uncertain. A query of both mens driver's license status on NY Licenses came back active. Eric Adams has two prior DUI's on his RMV record. Officer Donahue and Sgt. Devine escorted the two men to 93 Dartmouth St. Eric Adams stated they were staying at that residence which is his sister's house. I stayed at the crash scene to document information and assist with clearing the MV from the property with Tody's Towing Service. As they were walking away I observed Officer Donahue and Sgt. Devine continue to have to assist Eric Adams with staying on his feet. Approximately ten minutes later as I was speaking with the aforementioned homeowners Mr.&Mrs. Limberis. Officer Donahue and Sgt. Devine returned to the crash scene. As they were updating me we observed Eric Adams returning to the crash scene. He was stumbling and swaying as he walked and repeatedly almost fell. Officer Donahue and Sgt. Devine immediately intercepted and assisted him before he fell. As they were assisting him again I continued speaking with the homeowners. Suddenly I heard Officer Donahue and Sgt. Devine struggling with Eric Adams who was now on the ground and resisting being handcuffed. I ran to assist them. Eric Adams continued to resist and be uncooperative until he was appropriately restrained in handcuffs. Eric Adams was placed under arrest by officer Donahue for Disorderly Conduct and Resisting Arrest. Reference Officer Donahues Newton Police Incident Report #19016484. The vehicle NY Reg. JHE8252 was removed from the property of 107 Dartmouth St. and towed from the crash scene by Tody's Towing Service.

On 6/13/19 I responded to 19 Sutcliffe Pk for a report of a MVA. Upon arrival I spoke with the operator of MV#1 who stated he turned onto Sutcliffe Pk to turn around and when he came back down the hill his brakes wouldn't' work when he struck MV#2 which was legally parked on the street. The owner of MV#2 was on scene and was not inside the vehicle at the time. There was heavy rear end damage and the owner stated he would call for his own tow first thing in the morning. MV#1 had air bag deployment and heavy front end damage. NFD and medics responded to evaluate the operator of MV#1. The operator had no injuries and signed a patient refusal. Tody's towing responded and towed MV#1. MV#2 had a dealer plate DUKE, but did not come back to anything through the registry. The vehicle was a 2006 black Bentley Flying Spur, VIN# SCBBR53W96C034217. John Bortone owns Velocity Motors out of 14 Hawthorne St in Newton and stated he recently purchased the vehicle out of Florida.

An unknown MV struck a fire hydrant located on the sidewalk in front of Whole Foods. Fire department and water department were notified. Four photos were taken of the hydrant by me and given in hand to the It bureau.

On August 1, 2019 at approximately 17:34 hours I, Officer Guarino, responded with Newton Fire and Medics for a report of a single vehicle crash into the building of 335 Boylston St. Upon arrival, the operator and sole occupant of the vehicle was out of the vehicle and had minor injuries. MV1 struck a stop sign and was up against 335 Boylston St, which appeared to have a broken window and minor structural damage. Operator of MV1 said that he was traveling in the right lane of Boylston St (Westbound) when a white Mercedes sedan (unknown model or registration number) turned into his lane and almost struck his vehicle. Operator of MV1 swerved to the right to avoid a collision and as a result crashed into the stop sign on John St. and the side of 335 Boylston St. Witness 1, who was parked at 325 Boylston St. saw the incident and corroborated MV1's story. A second witness, who I was unable to make contact with stopped and gave MV1 his phone number of (508)215-4951 and texted MV1 that he caught up with the possible vehicle, MA Reg 9BT373, which comes back to DESOUZA PLASTERING SERVICES INC. I will attempt to make contact with an operator during their business hours. The owner of 335 Boylston St, Onir Spiegel, was on scene, was given the incident number and was advised to contact her insurance company. MV1 was towed from the scene by Tody's and the operator signed a patient refusal from the Medics. Pictures were taken at the scene of the damage and submitted to IT to be attached to this report. Sergeant McLean notified the DPW for the stop sign and glass in the roadway. Sergeant McLean also left a message for Newton Inspectional Services to come inspect damage to the building at a later time.

Operator of MV1 stated she was traveling westbound on Washington Street passing the area of 719 Washington Street. As she was traveling in her lane, Newton Fire Engine 4 was in the lane next to her on her left. The engine veered to the right and went into her travel lane. Operator of MV1 said that she was forced to turn to the right to avoid colliding with the fire truck. She then struck MV2, which was parked on the side of Washington Street causing damage to his drivers side mirror and her passenger side mirror. The operator of MV2 was in his vehicle at the time of the accident. He stated that he also witnessed Engine 4 enter MV1's travel lane forcing her to collide into his vehicle. Neither party was injured and no contact was made with Newton Engine 4.

MV#1 stated while driving his truck and trailer Westbound on Nahanton St across from the golf course the right top side of the trailer struck a City of Newton tree. MV#1 stated after hearing and feeling the collision he immediately stopped his MV. The collision caused part of the tree to break off and fall on top of his truck as well as into the Eastbound lane. MV#1 sustained minor damage to the top passenger side of his trailer. MV#2 stated while traveling Eastbound on Nahanton St she witnessed MV#1 strike a tree on the top passenger side of his vehicle. MV#2 stated a tree branch then fell from the top of his MV into her Eastbound lane. The branches scratched the diver side of her vehicle while passing. MV#2 had scratch marks that was consistent to both operators statements. MV#2 sustained minor damage. Both parties stated the were not injured and refused medical attention at this time.

On 11/21/2019 at approx 0740 hrs while assigned to 497 I responded to the intersection of Washington St and Beacon St for a report of a two car crash with entrapment. Upon arrival I observed NFD and Cataldo Medics assisting the driver of Ma Reg 5RA826 which was in the left EB lane of Washington St with the driver side of the vehicle caved in , the driver of the vehicle, Dorcus BIRUNGI was crying and shaking complaining of left side pain . NFD was working on opening the driver side door which was stuck from the collision. BIRUNGI related she was travelling WB on Washington St through the intersection of Washington and Beacon St when she was struck . The crash forced her car to spin sliding over the center island coming to final rest in the EB lane of Washington St. I was approached by Newton School Crossing Guard Regina GAYLE who stated she had witnessed the crash. GAYLE stated the Operator of the black Jeep Ma Reg 8VX486 had the green light, was well into his left turn from the EB laft lane of Washington St onto Beacon St when the Suburu "came flying " through the intersection. GAYLE stated she didnt know if the Suburu driver was trying to beat the light but she was "going so fast". I spoke with the operator of Ma Reg 8VX586 , nicholas MANCINI. MANCINI stated he was taking the left onto Beacon from EB Washington St with the green light when the other operator came over the rise of WB Washington St at a extremely high rate of speed . BIRUNGI transported to NWH by Cataldo, Vehicle towed by Todys.

The operator MV1 of stated that he was traveling Southbound on Walnut St attempting to turn left and travel Eastbound on Beacon St when MV 2 attempted to pass MV 1 and side swiped the right side of MV 1. The operator of MV 2 stated that MV 2 was attempting to take a left onto Beacon St and MV 1 attempted to illegally pass MV 2 on the left hand side causing a collision. Fire and EMS responded as well but there were no injuries sustained to either party. MV 2 was towed by Tody's due to it being disabled on a public way.

Operator #1 states he was attempting to back up spare Engine 11 into the left bay at Fire Station #2, when he accidentally hit a city light pole during the maneuver. The pole is located on the island between the eastbound/westbound lanes of Commonwealth Avenue. The pole was knocked down however it landed completely within the grassy island and is still intact. There is no damage to Engine 11, and Capt Roche notified NPD dispatch to contact DPW about the light pole. Pictures were taken and submitted to IT by myself. No injuries were sustained.

On August 13th, 2020, while working in marked unit N526, I responded to a 2 car MVA involving pedestrians at the intersection of Beacon Street and Chestnut Street, Newton. The weather at the time of the crash was clear and sunny. The road surface was dry. Beacon Street and Chestnut Street are both public ways maintained by the City of Newton. The operator of MV1, Maria Dinapoli (S92626906), stated she was operating her 2018 Toyota Corolla ( MA REG: 1KNW71) heading west on Beacon Street and had the green light at the intersection of Chestnut Street. Dinapoli stated she was traveling straight through the intersection when MV2 which was traveling east on Beacon Street at the time cut infront of her vehicle to take a left turn onto Chestnut Street. Dinapoli stated she applied her brakes but was unable to stop in time and made contact with MV2. The impact of the crash caused MV1 to drive over the curb and onto the sidewalk where it made light contact with a baby stroller with a 1 year old inside. MV1 also struck and damaged a Newton Fire Department box that was located on the sidewalk. The baby stroller was being operated by the mother identified as Anna Gilman (S11328154). The pedestrians reported no injuries and signed patient refusals with Medic 2. MV1 sustained moderate front end damage and was towed from the scene by Todys. Dinapoli also reported no injuries and signed a patient refusal with Medic 2. The operator of MV2, Leena Dolabany (S12410136), stated she was operating her 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee (MA REG: 1TCZ14) heading east on Beacon Street and had the green light at the intersection of Chestnut Street. Dolabany stated she was in a line of cars in traffic waiting to take the left turn onto Chestnut Street. Dolabany stated as the cars infront of her continued through the intersection she took a left onto Chestnut Street and as she was already into the turn she was struck by MV1. MV2 sustained moderate damage to the passenger side panel. Dolabany reported no injuries and signed a patient refusal by Medic 2. A query of all vehicles and parties involved through dispatch determined that MV2 was revoked for insurance. After speaking with the operator I was informed that MV2 had recently switched insurance agencies and Dolabany was able to provide paperwork from Geico Insurance stating the vehicle was insured. Due to the registry not displaying a valid registration, MV2 was towed from the scene by Todys. I advised Dolabany to contact her insurance company and advise them to update their information with the registry so she can retrieve the vehicle. Photographs of the scene and damage to city property were taken by Officer Wilson and submitted to the IT Bureau. On August 14th, 2020 I spoke with the operator of MV2, Leena Dolabany and her father George Dolabany in the front lobby of the police station. They provided paperwork from Geico Insurance that stated the vehicle was infact insured at the time of the accident and that there was an error made by the Registry of Motor Vehicles. Sgt. Devine and I advised them that we have to use the Registry's database for our investigation and because it still states the vehicle is revoked for insurance we can not release the license plates. Sgt. Devine advised them they could get another tow company to come and take custody of the vehicle but the plates will be seized until the registry shows an active status on the registration. I issued Mass uniform citation T2017328 in hand to Leena and advised her she will be summoned for a hearing for the following violations; Ch 90 section 34J Operating MV without insurance and Ch 90 section 9 Unregistered MV.

The operator of the green Volkswagon was identified as Viorel Marin. He stated he was going E/B on Pearl St and was approaching the intersection of Jackson Rd when the light had turned green. As he was entered the intersection vehicle #2 came from his right side(N/B) on Jackson Rd at, according to him, a high rate of speed causing his vehicle to collide with the Jeep. He doesn't remember much after that. I observed a small cut to his right knee and later he showed me a small abrasion to his forehead. All his air bags had deployed on contact with vehicle #2 . I located the operator of the Jeep who was sitting on the ground being assisted by an unidentified women(not a passenger). She appeared shaken but had no visible signs of any serious injury from the crash. She identified herself as Tara Feeley. According to Ms Feeley she had been travelling N/B on Jackson Rd and was attempting to continue straight across the intersection of Pearl St when she was struck by vehicle #1 in the intersection. The impact caused her vehicle to flip over unknown amount of times finally landing on the property to the Lincoln Eliot School. Based on operator #2's statements, my observations of the scene, damage to her MV, it appeared her vehicle after contact with vehicle #1, flipped over N/B across the intersection first hitting the traffic light on the northeast corner, additionally making contact with the utility pole just east of the traffic light before finally landing right side up on the property of the Lincoln Eliot School. She reported climbing out her passenger side window when her vehicle finally stopped. She said,"she was lucky she had her seat belt on". I agreed. Ms Feeley also reported that she was sure that her light was green as she entered the intersection. I attempted to locate any possible witnesses from the crowd that were gathered near the crash site. There were two that heard the crash but none that actually saw what happened. I couldn't locate any cameras near the intersection. Both vehicles were towed from the scene due to the extensive damage/both totaled. Both operators had minor injuries and both declined to be transported to the hospital. They signed patient refusals. Officer Danny Anderson later took several pictures of the crash scene and the all the property damage. Both utility companies were notified.

He currently has an active California License, with an California address. Therefore I am issuing and mailing Mr. Lafaiete-Gheringer MA citation number T1445575(warning) for Chapter 90 Section 26a Failure to notify registry of his license address change.

On February 16th, 2022 at approximately 10:09 hours myself and NFD responded to the area of #64 Craft St, GM Auto Body for a report of wires down possibly arcing. On our arrival we found numerous cable wires down along Craft St and Clinton St blocking both roads to traffic. NFD was able to remove the lines which were not electrical but belonging to Verizon and Comcast Both companies were notified to respond due to the large area affected. Two residences had damage to their houses from there cables being ripped away from their house. #'s 64 and 43 Clinton St. Both spoke with Verizon about filing claims. The cause of this accident appears to have been due to an unknown truck catching a low hanging cable line that went from pole to pole on Craft St causing a chain reaction ripping down numerous other lines.

RP reports that he saw a large truck with "Quinn" on the door hit a fire box pole. The fire box was found knocked over. I took 2 pictures and placed it in IT. There did not appear to be any cameras in the area.
