*** WATCH *** TRAFFIC STOP TURNS INTO DRUG TRAFFICKING INVESTIGATION, SOURCES SAY

“Stop me, oh, oh-o, stop meStop me if you thinkThat you’ve heard this one before…”          ~ The Smiths   HYANNIS, MASSACHUSETTS – [HN VIDEO NOTES] –  HN was out of range and unable to hear the initial radio traffic, but sources on scene indicated there had been a scuffle after a passenger attempted to flee a traffic stop on Yarmouth Road Sunday evening. As you will see and hear in the following HN Video, at around 9:30 p.m. last evening, Barnstable Police patrol officers and at least one patrolman from the Yarmouth Police Department stopped to assist a Massachusetts State Trooper with a traffic stop in the vicinity of 80 Yarmouth Road. The trooper can be heard confirming an arrest warrant for the adult female driver. (There were no available official details on the driver and the warrant at the time of this report.) The female driver was reportedly arrested on the warrant and eventually transported back to the state police barracks in South Yarmouth for booking, sources say. At some point during the stop, an adult male passenger was taken into custody after some type of scuffle related to him allegedly attempting to run away, sources say. (There were no official details available regarding the arrest of the passenger at the time of this report.) However, a source told HN that an investigation related to the passenger led to at least one “drug trafficking” charge… and another source indicated the arrest involved a substantial quantity of drugs (cocaine and Fentanyl were allegedly recovered during the stop… along with one other type of narcotic… developing) … but again, official details regarding the exact quantity and types of alleged drugs, along with additional details regarding the arrest have not yet been officially released. A third occupant of the vehicle was initially detained but eventually released from custody… HN Note: According to a Yarmouth FD radio transmission at the time of this report – approximately 3:00 a.m. – a “second ambulance” was requested to respond to the state police barracks in South Yarmouth for an unspecified reason. It’s uncertain whether the two ambulances dispatched to the barracks are related to this particular case or not… but it’s a strong possibility that HN is looking into.  UPDATE: A source tells HN that the ambulances were for the adult male and adult female arrested during the aforementioned traffic stop… developing. HN is the process of requesting the official details related to last evening’s arrests from the Massachusetts State Police media relations division. HN is also attempting to obtain copies of the arrest reports and will provide official updates as soon as they become available. Check back for updated details… HN was deep inside the many maze-like walls of Cape Cod Hospital at the time of the aforementioned call and an HN scanner assigned to the state police was unable to receive the usual amount of radio traffic. However, the following HN Video contains some of the radio traffic related to this call. It also contains footage of troopers and police officers searching the involved Mercedes that was stopped on Yarmouth Road. The footage appears to show officers seizing evidence from the trunk of the Mercedes.
