Sports Car Rules & More From The Beverly Police Log

If you have a sports car, people expect you to drive fast; speeding got a fake ID holder caught; and more from the Beverly Police log.

  • Police responded to a report of a group throwing bottles on Middlebury Lane last Friday around 8:30 p.m. Officers found there were no bottles, just a McDonald's bag.
  • Officers tried to find a man that a pedestrian said had pulled a u-turn after he drove past her on Elm Top Lane last Friday around midnight. The caller said the man said he was a photographer and was looking for a cord he had lost. The caller told the man to get away, and ran away. Police didn't find the man or his car.
  • A possible box of dead cats was taken to the Department of Public Works on Saturday around 2:30 p.m. after it was found on Oceanside Drive.
  • Police confiscated a fake Connecticut ID and alcohol after a car was stopped for going 37 mph in a 20 mph zone on Saturday around 5 p.m. on Foster Street.
  • Officers stopped a driver on Sohier Road on Monday around 7 p.m. after he reportedly swerved into oncoming traffic in order to pass another driver. The driver told police the man was driving too slow, and "shouldn't own a sports car if he is going to drive like that." Police issued a citation.
  • Police arrested Joe D. Fagundes, 32, of Peabody, on charges of drunken driving, reckless driving, failing to stop for police, and failing to drive within the marked lanes on Tuesday around 11 p.m. on Echo Avenue.
