On Saturday, May 13, at approximately 8:12 a.m. the East Bridgewater Police Department received reports of a 2005 gray Ford truck driving slowly along Cedar Street followed by shots fired.
Responding officers passed the suspected 2005 gray Ford truck on Central Street. Officers immediately tried to initiate a traffic stop of the truck and the driver sped off.
Officers initiated a pursuit of the vehicle as it drove toward Route 14 and headed toward Brockton. While attempting to stop the vehicle, the suspects’ truck crashed into another vehicle and came to a complete stop, and both suspects proceeded to flee on foot.
Officers located both suspects, later identified as LUCASand the 17-year-old, and placed them under arrest without further incident.
While searching LUCAS’ person, officers discovered a semi-automatic pistol magazine. The magazine did not contain any ammunition.
During a preliminary investigation, officers discovered several rounds that hit a home on Cedar street, and determined that the weapon that was used was discarded. The East Bridgewater K-9 unit was requested and a gun was found on Central Street.
There were no reported injuries.
A subsequent investigation determined this was not a random act of violence.
LUCAS is being held on $200,040 bail and is scheduled to be arraigned in Brockton District Court at a later date.
The 17-year-old is being held on $250,040 bail and is scheduled to be arraigned Brockton District Court at a later date.
Bridgewater, Brockton, Hanson, and Whitman Police Departments and Plymouth County Sheriff’s BCI assisted in the case.
“The safety of our community is our top priority, and I want to commend the officers for their diligent and professional work during this incident,” said Acting Chief Jenkins.
