Police announced two vehicle-related arrests.

On Wednesday, January 6, officers encountered a man who was operating a car that had been reported stolen in Falmouth.

Daniel W. Martin, 34, of Falmouth, was charged with receiving a stolen motor vehicle and receiving stolen property under $1,200.

On Thursday, January 7, officers observed a man throwing a wooden stake at a vehicle on Cranberry Highway near the entrance to Mogan’s Mobile Home Park. 

The officers stopped to investigate and placed the man, Jeffrey Picard, 50, of East Wareham, under arrest. When the officers arrived at the police station with Picard, police say that Picard began trying to kick at officers during his removal from the cruiser.
