BOURNE – Bourne Police report that officers were at an active call with a barricaded subject in the area of 100 High Meadow Circle Tuesday. Residents of High Meadow Circle had been requested to remain inside but that order has been lifted. Bourne Police say they will provide more updates at a later time.
Update from Bourne Police: At approximately 11:15 AM, Bourne Police Officers were dispatched to an apartment on High Meadow Circle where a 42-year-old male was reported to be intoxicated and threatening to harm himself. The male was reported to be in possession of a knife. Upon officers arriving and making contact with the male, he made threats to shoot the responding officers with a firearm and then barricaded himself inside the residence.
Over the next two hours, Bourne Police Department negotiators, Crisis Intervention Officers, and clinicians from Bay Cove worked to communicate with the male. During this time the male was erratic in his actions and statements. Officers were eventually able to gain control of the subject and transfer him to an area hospital for an evaluation. During the interaction, the male assaulted two officers while at his residence and a third officer while being transported to the hospital. Charges will be forthcoming for three charges of A&B on a Police Officer. There were no firearms located at the residence.
Due to the volatile nature of the situation and the potential that a firearm was involved, a localized stay in place request was issued to the residents of High Meadow Circle for the duration of the incident. We would like to thank the residents of the area for their patience during this incident. We would also like to thank the Bourne Fire Department and Bay Cove for their assistance in resolving this situation as safely as possible.
