WAKEFIELD POLICE DEPARTMENT OFFICE OF THE CHIEF One Union Street, Wakefield, Massachusetts, 01880 Richard E. Smith Chief of Police February 2017 Highlights On February 17th at approximately 5:00 p.m. Detectives Chris Grace and Jack Ryan were conducting surveillance in the parking lot of the Wakefield Inn located at #595 North Avenue where they have made several drug arrests in the past. While monitoring this area they observed a black Mercury Mountaineer park in front of the building. An individual entered the vehicle for a short time and the operator drove around the lot for a brief period and then the passenger exited. Believing that a drug transaction had just taken place, they approached the individual that was now on foot who confirmed that he had just purchased heroin. Subsequently a motor vehicle stop was conducted on the Mercury on North Avenue. Further investigation resulted in the male operator from East Boston being taken into custody and charged with Distribution of a Class A Substance (Heroin). The Peabody Police Department responded to a residence in their town on February 19 for a report of a possible double homicide. Due to the gruesome circumstances surrounding the report, the NEMLEC SWAT team was called in for assistance. Wakefield Sergeant Jon Burnham, a key member of that unit, assisted in the initial entry and safe securing of that residence. No suspects were found at the time, however this team continued tracking for two days until they were able to make a very high risk arrest on one of the suspects at an apartment complex in Peabody. The second suspect was located days later in South Carolina. On February 22nd at approximately 7:45 p.m. Sergeant Joe Anderson and Officers John Whaley, David Rando, and Kyle Meehan were dispatched to the area of #360 Audubon Road for a reported car fire. Upon arrival they observed a Subaru Legacy engulfed in flames in a wooded area adjacent to the building. A female party was located in the area who was hysterically crying and appeared to be under the influence of liquor. She advised officers that she was driving from Market Street and trying to get to Gloucester. She also stated that she had been with a friend. Officers immediately began to search the area with the assistance of K9 Dozer and his handler Officer Dave Rando. They were not able to locate any other individuals in the area. Shortly thereafter they were able to confirm that the friend had made it home safely. Sergeant Anderson was able to confirm that this female had consumed several drinks at Davios Restaurant earlier in the evening. She was taken into custody and charged with OUI Liquor.
During the month of February, School Resource Officer Kelley Tobyne completed a 40 hour radkids safety instructor program in Dennis, MA. The radkids program is a national leader in children's safety, with the target population at approximately the 4th grade level. The curriculum meets, and in many cases exceeds, the foundational education standards for elementary physical education and health in all 50 states. Instructors teach, train and empower children with real skills so they can recognize, avoid, resist, and if necessary escape violence or harm in their lives. Our second School Resource Officer for the public schools, Jason Skillings, will be completing the program in the near future. The goal is to work with Director of Athletics, Health, and Wellness Brendan Kent in order to bring this exciting opportunity into some of our schools next year. During the month of February we were able to work with the Wakefield Rotary Club to help raise money for our K9 program through a drawing contest. Kids around town were able to submit drawings and the Rotary Club generously donated $10 for each one. A total of $670 was raised in just a few weeks. Several of the contestants had the opportunity to come to the station and have their picture taken with Officer David Rando and K9 Dozer. Thanks to the Wakefield Rotary for once again stepping up to help keep this very popular program moving forward. Respectfully Yours, Chief of Police
