On 5/20/19 at about 1510hrs I was dispatched to 136 Evelyn Rd for an MVA. En route to the location with Ofc Gourdeau, it was determined by first arriving Ofc Gourdeau that a vehicle had crashed through a fence at the end of Troy Lane and came to rest in the backyard of 126 Evelyn Rd. On arrival, I located the vehicle operator, identified as Mr Stuart Phillips who was operating MA Reg 8VVP40, an '03 Jaguar S Type model. Mr Phillips was walking around the backyard after the collision and appeared coherent as to what had transpired. He sustained a laceration to the top of his head and was bleeding heavily. We sat him down in a lawn chair prior to medics arrival to evaluate. When asked what happened, he stated he "hit the gas instead of the brakes". I asked him where did the accident begin? He stated he was turning around at the end of Troy Lane (a dead end cul de sac) and crashed through the fence there. Mr Phillips was alert and speaking clearly. I asked him if he was on any medication? He stated he was taking Plavix only, a blood thinner. I asked about his medical history and he stated he was released from Spalding Rehab today for treatment from a stroke and was receiving occupational therapy. Medics arrived to evaluate and he was transported to NWH for treatment. An investigation of the crash path of the vehicle revealed the following based on tire tracks and damage left behind: The vehicle crashed through the fence at the end of the cul de sac belonging to 41A Helene Rd; Vehicle drove over that back lawn, clipped the back deck attached to the rear of the house; damaging the base of the deck and lattice below; Vehicle travelled over the patio, then crashed through shrubbery down an embankment leading to the backyard of 132 Evelyn Rd; Vehicle drove through backyard of 132 Evelyn, then continued along the side of the house where it drove over damaging three retaining walls and clipped a large tree; After driving over the third retaining wall, vehicle continued through the backyard of 126 Evelyn, causing significant lawn damage; Vehicle continued until it hit the back of the house at 126 Evelyn; there, it drove over the rear patio before it struck a ground level basement window and window well; It came to a rest there where the vehicle caught on fire under the hood. Witnesses helped extinguish the fire with a garden house (see incident report #19020129) until NFD arrived to knock it down. Significant front lawn damage to 126 Evelyn occurred as well as NFD was arriving on scene to what was first reported as a structure fire. Several photos of the area were taken by myself. The memory chip was TOT the I.T. bureau to be attached to this report. Tody's towing towed the vehicle out of the backyard by accessing the rear driveway of 132 Evelyn Rd. Mr Phillips cited for Negligent Operation and an Immediate Threat for License Suspension/Revocation faxed to the RMV. Troy Lane is a public way in the City of Newton.

On February 16th, 2020 at approximately 09:23 hours while assigned to N491 I responded to a report of a traffic crosswalk light down on the sidewalk at the intersection of Washington St @ Craft St. On my arrival I observed the walk light down on the sidewalk. It appears to have been struck overnite by unknown vehicle. Dispatch reported that the r/p, heard a loud noise at around 03:00 hours. However never called the police. Pictures taken. Camera disc was placed in the Technology mailbox. Dagle electric light company notified.

MV #1 was traveling EASTBOUND on Webster St (a public way as it is maintained by the City of Newton) when it collided with a curb then a stone wall (private property belonging to 239 Webster St). MV#1 operator, Jordan Feinberg was found in front of 174 Webster St sitting on the sidewalk. He had a laceration on his arm and a lump forming on his forehead. Feinberg said that he drank half a bottle of wine tonight and hit a curb down the road (Webster St). Feinberg was sweating profusely, unsteady on his feet and had a very strong odor of an alcoholic beverage on his person. He said he was the only person in the vehicle. Officers went to go observe the vehicle and it had major front end damage and had collided with a stone wall belonging to 239 Webster St. When asked if he hit a stone wall, Feinberg said "no, I just hit a curb". He had no memory of hitting a stone wall. Resident of 239 Webster St was also the reporting party, James Pelis, said that he heard tires screeching and then a crash. He came outside and saw a MV up on the sidewalk and a male individual approximately 250lbs, heavyset, grey sweatpants and a dark shirt walking Eastbound on Webster St away from the crashed MV (this description fit Feinberg). Pelis assumed it was the driver but never saw him get out of the car. Feinberg was transported to NWH by medics. The vehicle (belonging to Feinberg's grandfather, Frederick Shapiro) was towed by Tody's. A towed motor vehicle formed was filled out. Pictures of the scene, damage to the stone wall and the MV condition were taken and the SD card was placed into IT's box. A criminal application was issued and given in hand to Feinberg at NWH by Ofc. Stake. The criminal application included 90/24J - OUI Liquor, 89/4a - Marked Lanes Violation, and 90/24E - Negligent Operation of a Motor Vehicle.
