Jerome Trent Yarmouth Police/CWN
YARMOUTH – A Yarmouth Police Detective arrested a man with a lengthy criminal history Sunday night after the vehicle he was riding in was stopped for traffic violations. Shortly before 9:45 PM, the detective observed a white pickup truck traveling in West Yarmouth completely cross the double yellow lines on Route 28. He attempted to stop the truck; however, it did not pull over and stop right away.
Once stopped, the detective noticed the window tint was extremely dark. The occupants of the truck kept all the windows up, making it difficult to see inside. As the detective shined his flashlight into the truck, the back seat passenger began to move around in a way that looked as if he was trying to hide a weapon.
