They were alerted by a passerby that some nut was going crazy in the parking lot adjacent to the "Center Stage" on Dwight Street. The officers walked into the parking lot and observed a Chevy Pick up, a Mercedes Benz, an Infinity and a Honda all parked in the lot and all with extensive damage to the body and windows. They observed a suspect hiding in the corner when the witness yelled." That Him"! The suspect felt that this was a good time to run. The officers gave chase and caught him several blocks later. he was brought back to the scene.

PIZZA! PIZZA! Father/son pizza-making duo arrested for assault on police officer....




Officer Rafael Vega who is assigned to the Springfield Police Department's
"Ordinance Unit" was performing his duties in the parking lot of the "Pizza Palace"
and the "Fresh Acres" stores located at the corner of Wilbraham Road and Parker
Street. The Ordinance Officer was responding to complaints that subjects are always
parked in the "Fire Lane" and was issuing citations to the offenders. He was in the
process of moving the offenders, giving the drivers a chance to move before giving
out a ticket. The officer pulled up along side a Mr. Demetrios J. Evangeliou  who
was seated in the drivers seat of a white Cadillac. The officer asked Mr. Evangeliou
kindly to pull his car into a legal parking space and out of the "Fire Lane". In
response Mr. Evanageliou replied, "What the F'#@*, I don't have to move"! Officer
Vega again asked if he would please move his car and in turn the offender stated,
"Get out of here, your on private property. And if you give me a ticket I'm going to
F%#@in rip it up anyways"! The officer started to write out a citation and Mr.
Evangeliou drove to the front of "Pizza Palace" which he owns with his son. Mr.
Evangeliou then went into the "Pizza Palace" 1899 Wilbraham Road as the officer was
about to give him his citation. The elder Evangeliou charged out of the restaurant
with his 38 year old son and they both attacked the officer. The officer backed up
but the father and son kept up their rage with clenched fists and would not calm
down. The officer warned them that they would be arrested for being "Disorderly" but
they did not heed his warnings. The officer then told them both that they were under
arrest. The younger Envangelou then went back inside the "Pizza Palace" and Officer
Vega went in after him so he could not get any weapons. A brief but violent struggle
ensued and the officer was forcer to "Pepper Spray" on the son because he was
choking the officer from behind. Officer Vega called for back up. As he was placing
the son under arrest the father then went behind the counter, grabbed a 16" inch
knife and attacked Officer Vega by swinging the knife at him in an attempted to stab
the officer. In order to defend himself the officer had to draw his service revolver
to keep from getting killed and back away. Once back up arrived both Evangelous
fought the cops till they were placed into custody. Witnesses to the attack stuck
around to give statements about what they shockingly observed. Officer Vega showed
great restraint and professionalism during the entire incident. Officer Vega
sustained a laceration to his forehead.
Both Father and Son will be arraigned in Springfield District Court on Monday Morning.

As the officer were about to gain entry into the apartment Duane Victory spotted the entry team and made an attempt to flee up the stairs. he was caught by Detective Greg Bigda who tried to stop him. The Detective was greeted by strikes to the head with clenched fists by the Victory Junior. The younger Victory then grabbed onto Det, Bigda and launched them both down two flights of stairs. Det. Bigda injured his ankle in the fall but managed to hold onto Victory Jr. until other officers came to his aid. The officers gained entrance into the "Crack Den" and arrested the occupants including the senior
Mr. Victory. The Narcs. confiscated 48 bags of Crack Cocaine a scale, packaging material and $290.00 cash. The apartment was a mess and a place where subjects would sell crack and smoke it all day long. Officers will get the occupants of this apartment evicted with cooperation from the landlord. The Father and Son team of Crack Dealers will be arraigned together in Springfield District Court today and will go on trail together in a few months and hopefully will do "mandatory" time together for the next few years. Togetherness. I always like a happy ending.

were piled up at the back door. The items included an Xbox,T.V., laptop computers,
Nintendo, rolls of coins. The house was ransacked. Officers determined that the

was locked and could hear sounds from within. Officers knocked and announced with no
response. The door was eventually kicked in and inside they found Mr. Gervais curled
in a corner. Gervais refused to get up and then he decided that he would fight the
officers. He was quickly placed into custody without incident. As the investigation
continued the officers went to 36 Fredette Street and found "back packs" full of
ill-gotten-gain from Mr. Gervais's neighbors house. Apparently Gervais was looting
his neighbor and backpacking the stolen items back and forth to his abode.

Most of the world says T.G.I.F. ,  for police officers work just gets busier....

 

....two "carjackings to report on ....

 

At 9:00 P.M. on 02/05 a 32 year old male victim claims that while he was stopped at a red light on Orange Street in his 1998 purple Plymouth Minivan,

MA REG. 9052 CT, he heard a voice yell at him "Hey"! and as he turned he was struck on the left side of his head. The drivers side window happened to be down when it was sub-zero out. The victim claims that he blacked out and was brought back to consciousness by a ringing cell phone. The borrowed Minivan he was driving was gone ?? Remarkably nobody on busy Orange Street reported a man passed out on the side of the road on a bitter cold night. Instead of calling the cops on his cell phone he walked back to house on Bradley Road. Then he called the police. ( I know everybody reading this are not police officers, but does any of this seem plausible to you ???) Well anyway....Detective William Kelly and Officers James Coombs are investigating the case.

 

At 11:03 PM on 02/05 Springfield Police were dispatched to Dunmoreland and King Street in the city's Mason Square for another "carjacking".

After many surveillances the detectives arrested the three last evening. The officers followed  the crew to Murphy's Pop Shop at 74 Island Pond Road. The three were driving a 1999 White Honda Accord. Surveillance officers watched the three make a drug deal with a waiting customer. The surveillance continued and the officers watched the three wash their Honda at the adjacent car wash. While two of them were washing their whip, the other could be seen packaging up more Cocaine. The subject after bagging Cocaine dropped an empty bag in the car wash. The car left and officers examined the bag and it contained Cocaine residue. Officers followed the car to Shawmut Street where they stopped, presumably to make another deal. Officers approached the vehicle with caution. Cody Brown was driving and when he observed the officers approach he put the car in reverse and smashed into the unmarked car driven by Detectives William Catellier and Mark Templeman . The car was stopped and the three were arrested. Recovered from the car was 14.4 grams of packaged Cocaine and $928 in cash. Also recovered was packaging material for Cocaine.

At 1:45 P.M. while school was in session two "home made type bombs" were set in a middle stairway of the school. One of the devices went off making a very loud explosion. Another device was close by and did not go off. Officer Roberto Matos of the Springfield Police Department Student Support Unit was at the stairwell within seconds. An Assistant Principle went to the stairwell and touched the piece of the bottle that had exploded causing a minor burn to her arm. The Assistant Principle is fine with no complications after being treated at Baystate Medical Center. Officer Matos pulled the fire alarm and made sure that the school was evacuated immediately. Within ten minutes all the teachers and students were cleared from the school. The students went into nearby Gerena School for shelter. The Arson Squad, Fire Department and Police Department went through the entire school to search for more devices. There were no more found. The other device was detonated inside the stairwell with negative explosions by Detectives Brian Strout and Gary Johnson of the Springfield Police Departments Bomb Squad. Once the school was cleared by the Fire Captain on scene the children were allowed to enter the school at 2:45 P.M. Dismissal time at the school is 2:50 P.M. There were no injuries to any students or teachers. The Principle and teachers with the help of the Springfield Police did a tremendous job clearing the school in an orderly fashion.

The "device" that was placed in the stairwell is known as a "MacGyver Bomb" or an "Acid Bomb". Some type of Acid or drain cleaner is combined with water and aluminum and placed inside a two-liter plastic bottle and left alone. The chemical reaction causes the bottle to expand and explode. There is no telling how long the explosion will take. It could happen within minutes. If somebody is near by it could cause injury or blindness.

The Detectives investigating this incident have a suspect. No arrest has been made at this time.
