Upon arrival, Officer Daniel Ruth discovered that one of the men involved in the disturbance was the owner of AJ Mart. The store owner reported to Officer Ruth that a male suspect had come into the store, ripped the plastic barrier above the counter down and demanded money from the register. The store owner then confronted the suspect and chased him outside, where the suspect assaulted him and fled towards the west end of Main St.
Barnstable Police K9 handler Officer O’Melia and his K9 arrived on scene and tracked the suspect to a parking area in the west end of Main Street, however, they were not able to locate the suspect at that time.
