ASHLAND Police say a Framingham man who was among four arrested Wednesday in connection with a pickup stolen from Worcester faces additional charges involving an armed home invasion earlier that day in Ashland.
Daniel Resende, 21, and a teenage boy were armed with shotguns when they forced their way into a Buckley Avenue home early Wednesday morning and violently robbed a couple in their 70s, authorities said.
Police arrested Resende, 21, on Wednesday, and the teen on Thursday, Police Chief Vincent Alfano said Friday. The teen is a juvenile, so his name was not released.
“This was a good multi-jurisdictional investigation,” said Alfano. “We all worked together to make this happen.”
FRAMINGHAM A local man is facing firearm charges after a Christmas Day arrest that started with a vandalism investigation and involved a stolen vehicle, authorities said.
Police arrested Edwin Oliveras, 18, at 7:10 a.m. Friday at the Monticello Motel on Rte. 9, police spokeswoman Lt. Patricia Grigas said Monday.
Police initially went to the area for a report of a possible broken window due to vandalism. When they arrived, the person who called said nothing was damaged.
“He was concerned about two males that entered one of the rooms by climbing in the back window at the Monticello,” Grigas said.
Around the same time, police discovered a stolen vehicle in an adjacent parking lot. One of the men fled the hotel and jumped into the stolen vehicle and drove off as a tow truck arrived to take it, the lieutenant said.
HOLLISTON A Milford man was drunk Wednesday when he ran barefoot from his car into the snowy woods after a crash, authorities said.
Police arrested Itamir DaSilva, 50, after the 10:41 p.m. crash in the 900 block of Washington Street, police Sgt. Matthew Waugh said Thursday.
DaSilva was driving on Washington Street when he crossed over the center yellow lines and crashed his car head-on into a pickup truck, the sergeant said. Witnesses told police that prior to the crash, the car was traveling much faster than the 30 mph posted speed limit.
But instead of stopping, DaSilva continued driving for 200 yards, stopped his car facing in the wrong direction and ran into the woods without shoes.
ASHLAND – A Hopedale man broke into an Eliot Street home on Friday to try to evade arrest on several warrants and ended up barricading himself in a locked room, police said.
Scott Bolton, 42, briefly escaped from the house, but was quickly caught by Ashland Police dog Ajax, who held the struggling man until his handler Sgt. Chris Alberini and other officers handcuffed him, police Chief Vincent Alfano said.
“He struggled violently, he was hitting the officers and the dog,” the chief said.
Around 3 p.m., a plain-clothed officer saw a possible domestic incident and saw Bolton, who he had been looking for. Bolton was wanted on seven different warrants.
