Teen seriously injured after being ?pushed through glass window??  [HN Video]
Tuesday July 29, 2025
ORLEANS, MASSACHUSETTS ? [HN VIDEO NOTES] ? On the early morning of July 28, 2025, an Orleans Fire Department ambulance crew rushed a 17-year-old male to Cape Cod Hospital with life-threatening injuries, classified as a ?priority one? trauma, following an incident where he was reportedly pushed through a glass window, according to emergency radio transmissions. Hyannis News (HN) was covering a separate story in West Yarmouth when the initial call from Orleans came over the radio, indicating a serious situation involving both police and fire personnel. The severity of the teen's injuries prompted HN to monitor the developing incident closely. As detailed in the accompanying HN video, a paramedic in the ambulance en route to Cape Cod Hospital declared a ?priority one trauma alert,? describing the patient as a 17-year-old male with a significant laceration, approximately one foot in length, extending along his right side toward his back. The paramedic expressed concern that the injury might be partially compromising the teen's airway. Friends at the scene reportedly removed a shard of glass from the teen's back, raising additional concerns about the depth and severity of the puncture wound. Upon arrival at Cape Cod Hospital's emergency room, the ambulance crew's urgency underscored the critical nature of the teen's condition. Details surrounding the incident remain limited, including whether it was an accident or a criminal matter. HN contacted the Orleans Police Department early this Tuesday morning, leaving a message with the on-duty sergeant to seek clarification on the circumstances and the teen's current condition. Official updates will be provided as soon as they become available. [HN VIDEO ? PRESS PLAY]
?TO CATCH A THIEF?  [and other recent HN photos?]
Monday July 28, 2025
    ABOVE HN PHOTOS: Members of the Barnstable Police Department patrol division responded to a report of a man breaking into parked motor vehicles in the Hyannis neighborhood known as the ?Tree Streets,? in between Winter Street and Bearses Way late Thursday evening ? July 24, 2025.  A K9 unit arrived first on scene and confirmed that several vehicles had just been broken into.  A description of the adult male suspect was put out to responding cruisers.  Some officers in darkened prowl cars took strategic positions on the perimeter.  A patrol K9 was deployed in hopes of tracking the suspect.  A specially equipped Barnstable Police drone was also deployed over the area.  Back at the scene, a member of the Barnstable County Sheriff's Crime Scene Unit began dusting for fingerprints, taking photos, and collecting evidence.  Meanwhile, another patrol officer worked on obtaining residential video footage from one of the victims.  Based on combined investigative efforts, officers were able to identify a suspect.  Officers reportedly had probable cause for the arrest of Brunno Lacerda, an individual who is no stranger to police (see above 2024 BPD booking photo). In the wee hours of Sunday morning ? July 27, 2025 ? Barnstable Police patrol officers spotted Lacerda in the Hyannis East End, near the intersection of Main Street and Yarmouth Road. Lacerda was taken into custody and placed in the backseat of a BPD cruiser. Brunno Lacerda, 41, homeless in Hyannis was arrested for crimes related to larceny from a motor vehicle, having allegedly broken into 2 motor vehicles, while also allegedly attempting to break into a third. Lacerda is no stranger to police.  Recently, on June 3, 2025, Lacerda was arrested and charged with one felony count of Assault with a Dangerous Weapon (knife).  The following is an excerpt from Patrolman Mele's report regarding the arrest on Ocean Street in Hyannis: ?Brunno had shown up at their house trying to collect money that he stated they owed him. They stated it was $100.00. When I asked what the money was for, they both got hesitant to answer my question. I then informed them that I know who Brunno is, and I know that he deals narcotics. [Redacted] then admitted that they use him as their dealer to buy crack cocaine, and he was there to collect money from the last time they bought crack cocaine off of him which was about a month ago. They stated that Brunno asked for the money that they owe him, and they told him they do not owe him money. They stated that at some point during this conversation, Brunno pulled out a knife from the area of his pocket/waist band. They stated he then pointed it at both [redacted] and [redacted] and they both stated they were in fear for their lives. Brunno then placed the knife on the table. [Redacted] then told Brunno they were calling the police and Brunno took the knife and left. When we asked what the knife looked like, [redacted] stated it was a 'steak knife?'? According to a police source, Lacerda has been accused of pulling a knife to threaten someone on at least two separate occasions in recent years. * HN wishes to remind readers that all defendants are presumed to be innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. OTHER RECENT HN PHOTOS:   ABOVE HN PHOTO: Barnstable Police patrol officers responded to Barnstable Road, near the intersection with Main Street, after a report of gun threat allegedly made by a male during an argument? before leaving the scene.  There was a question as to whether the male had a gun concealed inside his pocket.  A description was put out to cruisers in the area? and a search of the area was inconclusive.       ABOVE HN PHOTO: Barnstable Police and a Hyannis FD ambulance crew responded to the Hyannis House Apartments on West Main Street in Hyannis last week when a woman called saying she had just been attacked and robbed.  The woman was evaluated by rescue but not transported after either being either suffocated or strangled, according to radio transmissions and sources.  Police began searching for two suspects, a man and a woman.  The woman was eventually caught and arrested.  Police reportedly identified the male suspect? who was still at large as of Sunday morning.   No further details at this time?         ABOVE HN PHOTOS: Members of the Yarmouth Police Department patrol division were out searching for an idiot driving a banged-up red Honda sedan early this morning, at around 1:00 a.m.  The idiot was reportedly racing up and down Park Ave in West Yarmouth.  There was said to be sparks, maybe flames, coming from underneath the idiot's vehicle, which had been driving on one of its rims.  The idiot struck a landscape wall at the corner of Park Ave and Grove Street, leaving behind a hubcap and groves in the pavement.  The groves from the missing tire stretched across the entire area, observed as far away as the intersection in front of DJ's Wings (awesome wings btw? I'm getting hungry just typing this), according to sources.  The idiot is also believed to have taken out someone's mailbox on Wendward Way, leaving behind a piece of his red [bleep]-box.  One caller described the idiot as an adult male with dark hair.  In other words, basically looking like what many would imagine an ordinary idiot driving a red [bleep]-box in the wee hours of a Monday morning would look like? especially one likely [bleep]-faced, out annoying normal people, while destroying the property of those needing to wake up later for work? ? but I digress.   The point is, I'm asking everyone reading this to go right on ahead and make a supreme effort in trying to have a very safe and splendiferous Cape Cod Monday  ?  in spite of this wanton idiot bombing around in his red [bleep]-box!

TRAFFICKING INVESTIGATION: K9 GAUGE FINDS 36.3 GRAMS OF FENTANYL STUFFED INSIDE MAN'S UNDIES
Sunday July 27, 2025
ABOVE: A Yarmouth Police patrolman and a Massachusetts State Trooper tow and secure the suspect vehicle at YPD Headquarters. INSERTS: Gauge, the drug sniffing police K9, booking photo of Justin Jimenez, 36.6 grams of Fentanyl and Oxycodone tablets that Gauge detected hidden inside Jimenez's underwear. YARMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS ? According to a report filed in Barnstable District Court by Detective Nicholas Ambrosini of the Yarmouth Police Department, back on 7/18/25, a Knock and Announce daytime search warrant was obtained authorizing the search of a 2019 Ford Edge, color blue, bearing Massachusetts registration 5KMJ28. The search warrant authorized the search for Fentanyl. The search warrant also authorized the search of Justin Jimenez and any other persons in the vehicle, related to an ongoing Fentanyl distribution investigation. A briefing regarding the warrant was conducted at YPD Headquarters this past Wednesday ? 7/23/25 ? at around 3:00 p.m., including members of the YPD detective division, members of the local DEA, and at least one Massachusetts State Trooper. A plan was developed, and the necessary arrangements were made prior to heading up onto Route 6 in order to conduct surveillance. Investigators working the case had already been conducting Route 6 surveillance earlier in the week, on Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday ? 7/23/25 ? at around 3:45 p.m., Jimenez was reportedly observed traveling eastbound on Route 6.  A motor vehicle stop was conducted just east of Exit 7, in the Town of Yarmouth. Jimenez was asked to step out of the vehicle and was eventually placed in handcuffs. He was reportedly advised of the search warrant, along with his Miranda warnings. Jimenez was then transported back to YPD Headquarters to be searched. The vehicle was also placed onto a flatbed tow truck and escorted back to YPD Headquarters under constant observation by state trooper. Once inside the YPD booking room, Jimenez was advised that a narcotics dog was about to enter and ?sniff the air that was emanating off his person.? Detective Ambrosini then retrieved K9 Gauge and returned to let the specially trained narcotics dog search the air emanating off Jimenez for the presence of Fentanyl. There was reportedly a ?marked change in breathing and behavior? when Gauge sniffed the air emanating off Jimenez's crotch area. Gauge then reportedly sat down in front of Jimenez's crotch area and the suspect was advised the dog had just alerted ?to the presence of narcotic order.? When Jimenez's underwear was searched further by being ?lowered slightly,? a small cleared knotted plastic bag of white tablets reportedly fell onto the floor. Two additional plastic bags containing white powder were then located wedged between the suspect's ?testicles and inner thighs.? Detective Ambrosini's report continues as follows: ?Upon further examination of the 2 bags containing the off-white powder located on Jimenez's person, [they] had an approximate gross weight of 36.3 grams [?] A sample of the off-white powder was tested using a Tru Narc device. It tested positive for fentanyl. Upon further examination of the small clear knotted plastic bag containing the white tablets located on Jimenez's person, there were (6) small round white tablets marked M 05/52 (Oxycondone 5mg) and 3.5 small round green tablets marked V 48/11 (Oxycondone 15mg). All drug evidence was tagged and placed into evidence.? As the result of the combined efforts by the Yarmouth Police Department, local DEA, and Massachusetts State Police ? and especially those efforts by K9 Gauge ? Justin A. Jimenez, 25, of Norwood, was charged with Trafficking Fentanyl 36g or More, Possession of a Class B Substance (Oxycodone 15mg) with Intent to Distribute, and Possession of a Class B Substance (Oxycodone 5mg) with Intent to Distribute. Jimenez was arraigned in Barnstable District Court on Thursday, 7/24/25. On Friday ? 7/25/25 ? a police source informed HN that the court had just ruled to hold Jimenez in custody for 120 days on dangerousness.  No further details were available to HN at the time of this report. * All defendants are presumed to be innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
