*** WATCH *** Masked Male with Knife Tussles with Plainclothes Cop, Tries to Flee ? HN Briefly Assists [Body Cam]
Saturday August 01, 2026
HYANNIS, MASSACHUSETTS ? [HN Video Notes] ? As you will see and hear in the following video, shortly before 3 a.m. this morning, a Barnstable Police plainclothes officer encountered three suspicious males dressed in black and wearing masks on Winter Street. Earlier, a Barnstable Police patrolwoman had been flagged down by a motorist who reported seeing three masked males jump into a downtown wooded area. She investigated but was unable to locate them. A short time later, around 3 a.m., the plainclothes officer spotted the trio while patrolling downtown. Hyannis News was just around the corner and responded to the scene. Upon exiting the vehicle, HN heard the officer warn one of the males not to touch a knife. As the officer moved to secure the weapon, the male suddenly pulled away and tried to flee. A tussle ensued. Not wanting to see anyone get hurt (especially since the officer was alone with three suspicious males), HN immediately assisted the officer until the situation was under control. All three individuals were juveniles. The male who attempted to flee was arrested and transported to Barnstable Police Headquarters on multiple charges, including resisting arrest and providing a false name, according to a source. The other two raised their hands and fully cooperated. Both were taken to the front lobby of the police station to be released to their parents. In the end, no one was injured. The Barnstable Police Department is investigating. The following HN Video highlights the tense, volatile encounter? [HN VIDEO ? PRESS PLAY] P.S. ?

State Police wanted poster, with an inset image showing Alexander Keen Grant holding his wanted poster after his capture in 2026, courtesy of VFAS/HN edits   BARNSTABLE, MASSACHUSETTS ? A Massachusetts man accused of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl more than a decade ago has been returned to the Commonwealth and ordered held without bail after spending 11 years as a fugitive. Cape & Islands District Attorney Robert J. Galibois announced that Alexander Keen Grant, 55, also known as ?Keen Grant? and ?Eric Raymond,? of New Orleans, appeared in Barnstable Superior Court on July 29, 2026. Following a revocation hearing, he was held without bail. He is scheduled for a pretrial hearing on September 22, 2026. The case dates to June 2012, when Yarmouth police began investigating a sexual assault. Grant was staying with family members in Yarmouth at the time. Prosecutors allege he provided alcohol and made sexually inappropriate comments to the 15-year-old victim, then placed his hands on her body and forced her hand onto a part of his body. Later that night, authorities allege, he entered her bedroom and sexually assaulted her while commenting on how attractive and mature she was. Grant faced three counts of aggravated rape of a child and two counts of indecent assault and battery on a person over 14. His trial was set for November 12, 2014, in Barnstable Superior Court. He failed to appear, and a warrant was issued. He quickly landed on the Massachusetts State Police Most Wanted list and remained at large for the next 11 years. On February 6, 2026, New Orleans police arrested him under the alias Eric Raymond on unrelated charges. With assistance from the New Orleans Police Department, Orleans Parish Sheriff's Department, and Orleans Parish District Attorney's Office, authorities confirmed his true identity. While living in Louisiana under the false name, Grant had married and fathered a child. The Massachusetts State Police Detectives Unit assigned to the Cape and Islands District Attorney's Office and the Violent Fugitive Apprehension Section (VFAS) helped secure his return through the rendition process. On July 29,2026, Alexander Keen Grant was held without bail after a hearing in the Barnstable Superior Court. He is scheduled to appear in the Barnstable Superior Court for a pretrial hearing on September 22, 2026. Assistant District Attorney Courtney Leigh Scalice, chief of the Child Abuse and Vulnerable Victims Unit, is prosecuting the case, which was originally investigated by the Yarmouth Police Department. District Attorney Galibois praised the cross-jurisdictional cooperation and tireless efforts that brought Grant back to face the charges. ?The unwavering commitment of law enforcement agencies working together across jurisdictional lines? made the return possible, he said. In their statement, the Cape and Islands District Attorney's Office reiterated that all defendants are presumed innocent. P.S. ? Today's Hytown Vignette is brought to you by Walter Murphy?

Hyannis Overnight Photos: ?Women Fighting in the Bushes?
Sunday July 26, 2026
          ABOVE: Moments after last call, several Barnstable Police squad cars rushed toward a ?wicked? popular downtown Hyannis watering hole on a report of a group of women fighting in the bushes next to the establishment. Upon arrival, officers encountered a woman visiting from Brooklyn, New York, yelling at another woman who was crying and bleeding slightly from one of her eyebrow piercings. When asked, she told officers she did not need an ambulance. It was uncertain who the actual combatants were, as a number of bar patrons were already leaving the area. Officers tried to learn what had just happened, but all of the women were speaking at the same time. In one of the above photos, a patrolman in a late-arriving squad car asked one of the officers on scene what had occurred; the officer on the sidewalk could only shrug. In the end, with emotions slightly more settled and the brawl in the bushes not having occurred in their presence, all the officers could do was ensure everyone was okay and wish them a safe journey home. Peace had been restored, and it was on to the next call for our long-suffering police officers? (No arrests were made.)           ABOVE: ?Lost in Translation?? When the investigating officer asked the translator to have the driver stand with his hands at his sides, the driver bent over and began touching his toes. A short time after the bars closed, a Barnstable patrolman working the west side of Hyannis attempted to stop a vehicle traveling north on Pitchers Way. The vehicle was slow to pull over, forcing the officer to activate his siren. It eventually stopped near the intersection with Mitchell's Way. The driver spoke little English, so the patrolman used a cellphone Portuguese translation service to conduct field sobriety tests after suspecting him of operating under the influence. The driver appeared unsteady on his feet, and officers had to halt one of the exercises so he would not fall and risk injury. Anderson Luan Godinho Barreiros, 36, currently residing in Hyannis, was arrested and charged with operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol. HN Reminder: The initial details contained in the above report are based on radio transmissions and information from police sources. The defendant is presumed to be innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.   ABOVE: 'I'M GOING TO KILL SOMEONE!' At around 2:20 a.m. this morning, a plainclothes Barnstable Police patrolman was flagged down by a woman on Main Street in Hyannis about a man screaming that he was going to kill someone. The officer made contact with the alleged homicidal screamer in front of the JFK Museum. The man, who is currently homeless in Hyannis, was taken into protective custody and brought back to police headquarters to sleep it off?   ABOVE: Sergeant Stops Vehicle with a ?Kid? on Top At around 2:15 a.m. Friday morning, July 25, 2026, a Barnstable Police sergeant was monitoring Route 28 traffic in Hyannis when he noticed a Ford Explorer traveling westbound with a juvenile male on its roof. He quickly stopped the SUV and ordered the teen down. All four occupants were minors, including the 17-year-old driver. The driver claimed he was unaware his rear passenger had climbed out onto the vehicle's roof? at least that was his story, and he stuck to it. The sergeant gave all of the occupants ? especially the rear roof climber ? a stern talking-to, telling them to make smarter, safer decisions. After a good lecture, the juveniles were sent on their way with a warning. Note: HN decided to publish the above, only slightly obscured photo of the vehicle and teens in the hope that the teens' parents will see it and reinforce the sergeant's words of caution? (sorry lads, it's just that I don't want to see you dead!) P.S. ? Today's Hytown Vignette is brought to you by Musique? [CLICK IT/CRANK IT! HEADPHONES ABSOLUTELY OBLIGATORY!]
