SEPTEMBER 7A caller reported her children had gone out in the morning and when she returned mid-afternoon, they had not returned home. During the call they returned from playing in the neighborhood. They probably heard the siren call only audible to hungry kids- Mom pulling into the driveway with snacks. SEPTEMBER 8Officers responded to a call for self-initiated crisis intervention. That subject was taken to the hospital.Officers responded to a coffee shop for a report of a man exposing himself to a barista. The reporting party felt the man might have been cognitively challenged. Officers were unable to locate or identify the individual. A woman came into the station to report a large wasp nest in a mulberry tree at the Grist Mill. The woman said she had called various departments in town and was told nothing could be done. Since Sandwich PD could not arrest the insects, we called DPW who said the Tree Warden was aware and they were making arrangements for removal. Officers performed a wellness check on a woman after she missed her Meals on Wheels delivery. No one came to the door when officers knocked but they did find an open window and yelled into it. They made contact with the subject of the check who had fallen and could not get up. That woman was brought to the hospital. A Mashpee man skipped out on his restaurant bill but not before taking a glamour shot of his Beer Cheese Bacon Fries and posting it to social media. Apparently, he misunderstood the golden rule of foodie culture: Phone eats first only works if your wallet eats next. He will be summonsed to 140/12/A Defrauding a Restaurant more commonly known as dine and dash or chew and screw. Canine Oakley assisted multiple agencies on a drug bust in Falmouth. SEPTEMBER 9The Secret Service contacted Sandwich PD to advise they would be conducting an interview with a resident who had made threats against a public official on social media. A wellness check was performed at the request of an employer. Officers made contact with the subject who was not interested in talking to anyone. He was provided his employer’s phone number. Crisis intervention was initiated for a woman who was destroying a company van. That subject eventually complied and was taken home. A short while later another call was received and she was taken to the hospital. A woman stepped outside while making a sandwich to ask noisy neighborhood kids to quiet down. She forgot she was holding a butter knife. Someone mistook the scene as threatening and called police. Officers arrived to find no danger. Just a woman who talks with her hands and did so while holding a blunt kitchen instrument. Offices responded to a residence for an individual who was experiencing elder issues. That subject was brought to the hospital. SEPTEMBER 10Officers mediated a mother/daughter disagreement. Officers initiated crisis intervention for a man who had run into a local inn and locked himself in an employee only area of the building. Problem was, he did not work there. That man was coaxed out and taken to the hospital.Officers mediated a disagreement between a mother and son. SEPTEMBER 12Two adult visitors from Falmouth decided it would be a good idea to beat the door of the newly constructed restroom at the skate park with their scooters. They took responsibility for the damage noting their actions were stupid. Can’t argue with that. They are being charged with 266/127/C Malicious Destruction of PropertyTwo out of towners ended up all wet after a parking dispute at the town water bubbler. Officers arrived and were met by a woman who claimed an elderly man deliberately backed into her car. She was not interested in identifying herself to police but eventually albeit reluctantly provided her driver’s license. The man said he’d asked her to move so he wouldn’t be boxed in, but she refused. When he tried to adjust, his bumper tapped hers. Officers saw no damage to either vehicle.A newspaper delivery person reported she was yelled at by a woman who alleged she was stalking her daughter. Officers spoke to the yeller who said she mistook the paper girl for someone else. They say we all have a twin. Officers will be having a chat with a local man who has been using the dumpster at a local business to dispose of his personal trash. The reporting party did not want charges filed, just for the dumping to stop as it was causing issues with his rubbish contractor. A caller reported his teenage children were home alone when a strange man came knocking on the door. Officers responded to find the reporting party on scene. That man theorized the knocker was interested in the items for sale on the front lawn. There were some pretty nice items.Officers were dispatched to Speedway for reports of a man yelling at a child in a vehicle. Officers were able to track down that car in a nearby neighborhood. The driver stated his child had locked the doors to the while he was pumping gas. He was telling the child to unlock the doors. And another kid in a locked car. This time a 2 year old. The child was extricated and reunited with parents. A caller from Wood Ave reported an 11 year old driving a golf cart, not obeying stop signs and weaving all over the public roads. Officers spoke to the parents of the youth. A caller reported teens walking in the roadway near Quaker Meetinghouse and Cotuit Road. The only identifier they could offer was that one was wearing a red hat. Officers were unable to locate a group of teens. Officers were dispatched to Jeanes Way for a report of fireworks. There they met up with a group of teens who were having a bonfire. All were advised they were on private property and would have to leave. Parents were contacted and arrangements were made for transportation home.Officers were dispatched to a home for an inebriated individual. When they arrived officers were told that the subject had consumed copious amounts of tequila despite not really being a drinker. That individual was taken to the hospital. Two other subjects were remanded to a responsible adult for the evening. Officers were dispatched back to that house when one of the adults involved left the home and was unable to be located. Officers found that subject and they were brought to the hospital for crisis intervention.Officers are investigating a car break in on Water Street. The vehicle owner stated several personal items were taken out of the unlocked vehicle.
