  • Police/Fire: Gloucester woman held, accused of driving stolen Audi while drugged

    Police/Fire: Gloucester woman held, accused of driving stolen Audi while drugged

    [ad_1]

    After a report of an Audi SUV driving erratically in the vicinity of the Bass Avenue traffic lights and East Main Street just after 5 a.m.last Monday, police arrested a 43-year-old Gloucester woman on charges of larceny of a motor vehicle; driving under the influence of drugs, a third offense; driving with a suspended license; negligent driving; a marked lanes violation; and receiving a stolen motor vehicle.

    Kimberly A. Ahearn, of 11 Chestnut St., Apt. 4, was ordered held without bail during her arraignment last Monday in Gloucester District Court. She was scheduled for a detention hearing this Monday, May 20, according to the district court’s clerk’s office.

    The person reporting the blue Audi SUV being driven erratically said it was “flying,” and believed it to be going in excess of 100 mph. The following driver said the Audi appeared to attempt to evade him, driving so fast and erratically he was no longer able to safely follow it.

    Earlier that morning, at 4:15, police had gone to Edgemoor Road for a report of a woman ringing a homeowner’s doorbell, with the resident reporting the woman appeared “hammered.” This caller said the woman came from what appeared to be a dark-colored Audi SUV.

    The Audi was reported to have gone down East Main Street toward Zeke’s Restaurant. Officers spotted the vehicle and dispatch informed them the vehicle came back to an address on Eastern Point Boulevard. Police followed the Audi as it weaved down the road and nearly struck the curb. Police stopped the car just before the stop sign heading toward Bass Avenue.

    Police approached the driver and noted a strong odor of heavy brake use coming from the SUV. The officer reported recognizing the driver as she had several run-ins with police recently and in the past, the report said. She reportedly laughed hysterically when the officer tried to speak with her and eventually the officer was able to confirm her identity. When asked if the Audi belonged to her, she said she came out of her apartment on Chestnut Street, saw the vehicle with its keys in the cup holder, and took it, the report said. Police informed her this was a crime, which she denied and said she needed the vehicle to get around to do errands. Ahearn said she did not have her license on her and it was confirmed her license was suspended.

    When she got out to take field sobriety tests, police noticed she was not wearing shoes. Police said she showed signs of impairment while taking the tests. Police contacted the Audi’s owner who told police she did not give anyone permission to use her car. The owner was given a ride to the scene where she saw damage to the Audi’s front driver’s side bumper that had not been there before. Police subsequently arrested Ahearn.

The woman was arrested Saturday around 1:12 a.m. on charges of driving under the influence of drugs, disorderly conduct and negligent operation of a motor vehicle after police came upon her vehicle parked in the center of the Fisherman’s Memorial, between the Man at the Wheel statue and the cenotaph tablets on Stacy Boulevard, according to the police report. On Monday, two Gloucester officers arrived at the Rockport station to take the woman to Gloucester District Court in Peabody. The officer on prisoner watch informed them the woman was on her knees splashing toilet water on the cell floor. The officer told the woman to sit on the bench so he could open the cell and allow her to put on her shoes. The report says the woman aggressively approached the cell door and said: “You guys are all demons” and hurled an expletive at the officers. Police repeatedly asked the woman to back away from the door, and she appeared as if she were preparing for a fight, the report said. As the officers went in to handcuff her, the report said the woman lunged through the cell door and attempted to grab an officer’s vest, hitting him in the chest. The officer blocked her and told her to get back into the cell. The report describes a struggle as officers attempted to handcuff her hands behind her back. After being handcuffed, the report said the woman became “legless” and refused to stand or walk to the cruiser. The woman had to be picked up and walked to the cruiser. Once inside the cruiser, police were concerned she would attempt to kick them if they tried to put a seatbelt on her. She was taken to court without further incident.

    8:07 p.m.: After a traffic stop on Eastern Avenue at Webster Street for a car without any tail lights on, police filed a criminal complaint against a 22-year-old Gloucester resident on charges of a motor-vehicle lights violation and driving without a license. The driver produced a registration but not a license when stopped. Using a translation service, the man provided the officer with a passport. Dispatch confirmed the man had no license status, only a learner’s permit. The driver contacted his boss who translated for them both. The driver was told he was going to be summonsed to court for unlicensed driving and a licensed driver arrived to take the SUV away.

    6:36 p.m.: A 29-year-old Gloucester resident was arrested on two counts of breaking and entering into a vehicle/boat in the daytime to commit a felony, resisting arrest and larceny under $1,200. A witness reported seeing a man rummaging through the passenger seat of his father’s car as it was parked on Elwell Street. The witness contacted his brother who was at home and called police. The brother went outside and saw the 29-year-old going through the vehicle from the passenger seat. He asked the suspect what he was doing, and he said he thought the vehicle belonged to his cousin. The brother said he did not believe the suspect and asked him to empty his pockets, but he did not recognize any of the belongings. The father then came out and checked his car, telling police he left his doors unlocked. He did not notice anything missing, with items from the center console strewn about, including a plastic change holder that had been removed and discarded on the floor. The suspect repeated that he thought the car belonged to his cousin, but refused to say what he was doing, what he was looking for, or who his cousin was. He could not describe the vehicle his cousin owned. The man said he had come from a local establishment and police said they could smell an odor of alcohol about him. Police went to arrest the man, but he resisted. One of the officers drew his stun gun and ordered the suspect to stop resisting and the man complied. The man was searched and police found miscellaneous property in his pockets. During booking, officers learned from dispatch there was a second report of a car break in the area, with the owner of a 2010 Toyota Corolla, reporting loose change, a half a roll of quarters and a Zippo lighter missing from his vehicle, consistent to what was found in the suspect’s possession. Police later obtained security camera footage showing the suspect walking onto Elwell Street and checking the driver’s side door of a 2020 Chevrolet before walking down the street and getting into the passenger side of the father’s car.
