NICKERSON STATE PARK

Travel the road to the upper campgrounds in Nickerson State Park and you may think for a moment that you have been magically transported to the Berkshire Hills or the piney woods of the Carolinas. Nowhere in sight are the sand dunes and salt marshes usually associated with Cape Cod. Instead, you are surrounded by woods that slope down to the banks of eight crystal clear fresh water ponds. Yet, if you walk or bicycle through the woods, you will find no rivers or streams feeding the ponds. These are “kettle ponds,” among more than 300 formed as glaciers retreated from the Cape over 10,000 years ago. Completely dependent on groundwater and precipitation, the water level in the ponds fluctuates from season to season and year to year.

MAN, WOMAN HAD FELONIOUS INTENTIONS DURING BRAZEN MIDDAY B&E IN HYANNIS, COPS SAY [HN PHOTOS]
Friday April 25, 2025
HYANNIS, MASSACHUSETTS ? APRIL 24, 2025 ? [HN PHOTO NOTES] ? Thursday afternoon, while the peaceful, law-abiding citizens of Hyannis were returning home from work and from running errands, a crime unfolded in broad daylight. Shortly after 4:00 p.m., Barnstable Police received a call reporting an assault where a wallet was said to have been stolen at a residence on Tevya Road, according to radio transmissions. (NOTE: It remains uncertain whether a wallet was actually stolen, that's just the way the call came in?)  What followed was a swift police response, culminating in a crosstown raid that netted two suspects. Officers arrived at the Tevya Road address to find an older man standing outside of his home, apparently shaken but cooperative. A member of the sheriff's crime scene unit arrived and photographed marks (described as possible injuries) on the man's upper back. As patrol officers worked the scene, leads were quickly developed. A Barnstable Police Detective Sergeant also responded and briefly huddled with the initial patrol officers on scene.     Wasting no time, all officers working the Tevya scene hopped back in their cruisers and met with a number of detectives in a nearby school parking lot which was unusually empty due to vacation week. Intelligence pointed to a house just a mile away, at 21 Aldeas Ave, where the suspects were currently believed to be. At approximately 5:15 p.m., a swarm of patrolmen and detectives stormed the residence in a coordinated raid. Five occupants were detained, their wrists secured in handcuffs as officers secured the scene. Among them were the two primary suspects: Jessica Garcia, approximately 45 years of age, of Barnstable, and Keith Newell, approximately 36 years of age, of Hyannis, according to police sources. Detectives then spent roughly an hour combing through the house, emerging with at least one paper evidence bag.         Garcia and Newell were placed under arrest and transported to Barnstable Police Headquarters for booking. Both face serious charges of Breaking and Entering in the Daytime with Intent to Commit a Felony, a crime that carries significant penalties under Massachusetts law. They are slated to face arraignment today (Friday) in Barnstable District Court, where prosecutors will begin to lay out the case against them.               The entire incident drew attention from neighbors, especially on Aldeas Ave. The narrow Aldeas Ave was partially blocked by police vehicles drawing even more attention to the scene. It was around suppertime for the people of that neighborhood, and one woman eventually came out of her home carrying a brand-new bottle of olive oil she was having trouble opening. Her neighbor who had been forced to back his work truck out of the avenue in order to reach the main road in the opposite direction, briefly stopped to assist her with opening the bottle. Although tight-knit neighbors seemed curious and slightly leery of the scene at 21 Aldeas Ave, they also didn't seem overly surprised by it either. HN recalls responding to the 21 Aldeas address for at least two previous police-involved incidents in recent years. Aside from Garcia and Newell, the three other occupants initially detained were immediately released from handcuffs once the scene was secured. All three were cooperative, making friendly small talk with uniformed officers in the backyard of the residence as detectives investigated inside the house. According to a Barnstable Police sergeant, aside from the B&E charge, Keith Newell was also wanted on a warrant from a separate domestic incident. No further details were available at the time of this report? P.S. ? Today's Hytown Vignette is brought to you by R.L. Burnside?  [CLICK IT/CRANK IT!
