On Thursday, March 31, 2022, at 5:11 P.M., I observed a black Subaru bearing Massachusetts registration XXXX fail to stop at a red at the intersection of McGrath Hwy and Broadway.
I activated my emergency equipment and stopped the vehicle on McGrath Hwy. I approached the operator, requested his license and registration informed him of the reason for the stop. The operator, later identified as Michael GUEVAREZ gave me a copy of his license and stated that he did not have the registration.
I asked Somerville Police control to query GUEVAREZ’s information to confirm his license status and was informed that he had an outstanding warrant out of Londonderry NH for possession of a controlled substance. At this time, Officer Ribeiro and Detective Thermidor responded as backup.
I placed GUEVAREZ under arrest for fugitive from justice c.276 S20A. He was transported to the Somerville Police headquarters in unit 200, operated by Officer McDaid and booked by Lieutenant Holland.
I issued a CMVI to GUEVAREZ for the red light violation and a citation to the vehicle owner for no inspection sticker. Citations were placed in GUEVAREZ’s property bag.
This account of Michael Guevarez’s arrest highlights the importance of police vigilance in identifying and apprehending individuals with outstanding warrants. It’s a stark reminder that everyday traffic stops can have significant implications for public safety.
