HN Photos from the Overnight: Downtown Hyannis Recap — The Summertime Deluxe Edition!

    ABOVE: Barnstable police officers responded to the North Street parking lot after a woman called to report that her boyfriend refused to get out of her car. The situation escalated when dispatch was told the confrontation had turned physical. Officers removed a man from the vehicle and arrested him without further incident. He faces domestic assault and battery charges. The woman was not seriously injured.       ABOVE: Barnstable police officers responded to a disturbance at an apartment building on Yarmouth Road, where a woman was seriously injured with a facial laceration. She was transported to Cape Cod Hospital, where the investigation continued. The initial call came in as someone banging on a door, but the situation quickly escalated into a criminal investigation. A member of the Barnstable County Sheriff’s crime scene unit responded to both the scene and the hospital to photograph and collect evidence. At the time of this report, the investigation remained active and few additional details were available. The final photo above shows a patrol officer running back to his cruiser after a separate call came in regarding someone reportedly firing a rifle on Main Street.         ABOVE: Barnstable police officers responded to a report of a person with a rifle on a crowded downtown Hyannis sidewalk last evening, shortly after the bars closed. A caller reported seeing someone near the intersection of Main Street and High School Road firing what appeared to be a realistic-looking rifle, possibly CO2-powered. Officers quickly secured the scene and determined the weapon was a BB gun belonging to a young man visiting from out of town. The rifle was seized and taken to Barnstable Police headquarters, where the owner was told he could attempt to retrieve it at a later date. A sergeant on scene questioned the group about the appropriateness of displaying a realistic-looking, high-capacity rifle in a busy downtown area during this time. Officers noted that some of the young adults involved did not seem to grasp the seriousness of the situation. No arrests were made, though identification was checked and the incident was documented. Other than the above incidents, it was a fairly typical Friday-into-Saturday overnight, marked by the usual mix of drunk driving investigations, domestic disturbances, and loud house parties. In Yarmouth, officers searched for a woman who fled the scene of a disturbance on Highbank Road in the early morning hours. According to radio transmissions, there was probable cause for her arrest. State troopers and a Yarmouth K9 unit assisted in the search. She was eventually located and taken into custody without further incident. (No further details available at this time…) Despite a busy summer weekend on Cape Cod, there were no major or life-threatening motor vehicle crashes overnight — a welcome outcome.
