Summertime Marblehead Police Log

It's heating up in Marblehead, and the heat seems to have gone to people's heads.

Monday, June 6

• 8:35 a.m. A woman on Evans Road called police after she said she saw a teenage boy with no shirt carrying a gun with an orange tip. Police responded and determined it was BB gun. Shirtless boy with BB gun...save this thought.


• 8:49 a.m. A woman was cited in the Devereux Street area for illegally parking then "flipping off" a witness.


• 6:09 p.m. A bicyclist was struck by a sport utility vehicle on Lafayette Street. The bicyclist appeared to suffer a leg injury but refused hospitalization.


• 7:32 p.m. A caller on Blueberry Road reported he had a dispute with someone and that person threatened to come to his house and shoot him. Police responded to the scene and discovered it was two young boys arguing over a video game. Being shot in a video game is not quite as bad as being shot with a BB gun.

Tuesday, June 7

• 11:33 a.m. An IRS scam was reported on Orne Street.


• 12:18 p.m. An IRS scam was reported on Abbot View.


• 5:12 p.m. A woman on Evans Road called police, saying teenagers were shooting each other with BB guns. At least this time she was a bit more specific about the type of gun.
