YARMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS – [HN VIDEO NOTES] – Yarmouth Police patrol officers rushed to a driveway outside of a residence on Hamblin Hill Road for a disturbance early this morning. The female 911 caller reported a couple of males at her door, possibly in possession of firearms. She reportedly did not know the males but thought they could be there for her boyfriend. At one point during the call, the YPD dispatcher reported he could now hear a “verbal dispute.” Also, the male strangers said they had firearms, according to the female caller. (She also reported they could have drugs on them, according to radio transmissions…) These alarming details caused officers step up their approach.
A number of officers parked nearby and walked into the scene, some armed with patrol rifles.
When HN arrived, officers had already made contact with several individuals in the driveway and were investigating them for firearms. A male, presumably the 911 caller’s boyfriend, was also in the driveway being placed under arrest. While being arrested, the male became more and more belligerent, using a barrage of colorful, mean-spirited curse words. At one point the male said, “I wish I could get a hold of you without your [effing] badge, you [effing homophobic slur].” It was all quite alarming for anyone within the vicinity… and an HN camera was rolling when the man requested several times to be video recorded during his “arrest…”
(… so, the following HN Video was the very least I could do to assist.)
Initially, officers intended to take the man into protective custody… but he may also be looking at criminal charges, including Disorderly Conduct and Resisting Arrest, according to sources. The strange males and females that showed up at the residence were searched and eventually released. [No further details available at the time of this report.]
