CHARGED WITH ATTEMPTED MURDER
Shortly after 8 a.m. on Thursday, Jan. 9, a Massachusetts State Police Trooper assigned to the Department’s Violent Fugitive Apprehension Section observed a Ford F250 pickup in the area of McDonald’s on Route 1 south in Saugus. The Trooper recognized the pickup as a vehicle reported stolen by Revere Police early Thursday morning. The Trooper and other MSP units from State Police-Danvers that responded as backup stopped and surrounded the truck and took the driver into custody without incident. Further investigation revealed that the driver, a 32-year-old Revere man, was a suspect in a domestic stabbing at a Jordan Street residence the previous night. Evidence indicates that the suspect stabbed a family member with the end of a filed-down crowbar, then took that family member’s pickup truck and fled the scene. The victim was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital for emergency treatment, and is expected to survive.
Following his arrest, the suspect was booked at State Police-Danvers on charges of attempted murder, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, and using a motor vehicle without authority. He was arraigned later Thursday in Chelsea District Court and ordered held on $100,000 cash bail and sent to Bridgewater State Hospital for evaluation.
Because the man is charged in a domestic violence incident, State Police are not releasing his name per state law that prohibits police from releasing names of domestic violence suspects (in the interest of protecting the privacy of domestic violence victims).
