Bomb Threat, Molested Child, Car Break Ins: Newton Police Logs

NEWTON, MA — Police respond to dozens of calls each day. Here are a few of the types of calls they responded to between Saturday, May 11 and Tuesday, May 14, including a report of a bomb threat and several car break-ins. It should be noted that just because a call came in reporting an incident doesn't mean that's the way it happened.

Saturday, May 11

Car break in: Someone reported that while their car was parked near 90 Boylston Street it was broken into.

Bomb threat: Someone texted 911 that there was a bomb on Wessex Road. This turned out to be false. Police cited a 31 year old Newton man and have requested a hearing in Newton District Court on charges of false report to public safety dispatch as well as threat concerning the location of a dangerous item (bomb).

Assault: Just after 2 a.m. someone reported an assault near the corner of Beacon and Center streets.

Molesting: Someone reported there was a sexual assault associated with a child.

Sunday, May 12

Lock your car: Someone called to report their car was broken into while it was parked on Commonwealth Avenue.

Knocking: An Adams Ave resident called police just after 1:30 a.m. to a report a man was knocking on the interior door of her screened in porch and she was frightened. As police were speaking with the woman a car alarm went off nearby. Officers went to check and found a car one street over with the interior light on, but no one around and the car cold to the touch. "Out of concern for possible car/house breaks that were actively occurring, officers immediately began canvassing the neighborhood," according to the report. As they were doing that another Adams Avenue resident called to say they just saw a man, described as black, run out of a backyard into the street toward Lexington Street. Shortly after, police found a man walking near the corner of Adams Ave and Moody St, right where Lexington St turns into Moody Street. With the help of Waltham Police, officers arrested Donnel P. Jonas, 24, homeless, and charged him with attempting to commit a crime - to wit B&E Nighttime, for felony and disorderly conduct - running through backyards and into the street, causing neighbors to call police.

Monday, May 13

Stolen bike: An Adams Avenue resident came into the police station to report her bicycle was taken from her backyard at Adams Ave last night.

Assault: Just after 1 a.m. someone reported an assault at 1205 Chestnut Street.

Stolen car: Someone reported that while her 2007 Maroon Ford Focus was parked on Mount Ida Street overnight, it was stolen.

Car break in: A Louise Road resident called to report he'd parked his car at the end of his driveway last night and this morning the contents of his glove compartment and center console strewn about the front of the vehicle.
