Real Life Somerville Police Stories: Frank CHAN (Viol Order)

On Thursday, October 19, 2017, while on full uniformed patrol in marked unit 781, I(Officer Patrick Canty) was dispatched to 1XX Glen Street for a report of a harassment prevention order violation. Marked unit 874(Officer Shaun Clark) was dispatched as back up. Upon arrival, we saw Frank Chan, known to us from previous incidents, in the driveway packing a bag. I contacted Mr. Chan and asked him why he was at the address and he said to get my stuff. I asked him if he had a Restraining Order against him, and he said ” I don’t have no papers on me so who cares”. I explained to him that he was not supposed to be on the property, and he stated “Prove it, that I was on the property.”

I then spoke with the reporting person, XXXXX. XXXXX was visibly nervous. He stated “Please get him away from me. I am very scared of that man.” XXXXX was holding his active restraining order. It stated, Mr. Chan was to remain 100 yards away from the residence. I estimated Mr. Chan was 20 Yards from the residence and still in the driveway. XXXXX stated he was also in the side yard which is even closer.

I placed Mr. Chan under arrest for the Violation of the Retraining order. He was transported to the station, via transport wagon 200(Officer Michael Marra) and booked per the usual manner by the Commander, Lt Lavey.
