Ashby Police Chief Issues Letter of Commendation to 3 Officers
The Ashby Police Department posted, “Chief Derek Pepple would like to recognize these officers for their actions on May 9, 2024. Ofc. Davis was the lone officer on shift that evening, and as the situation began to escalate, he notified the dispatcher at Patriot Regional Emergency Communications that he needed backup. Officers from Townsend Police Dept and Fitchburg Police Department arrived shortly after the Taser had been deployed, and assisted Ofc. Davis with taking the subject into custody. Sgt. Vautour and Ofc. Garhart responded from their homes to further assist. The subject was transported to the hospital to be treated for minor injuries, then booked at the Ashby Police Department. He was later tansported to Billerica House of Corrections.
This incident ended with no injuries to civilians or police officers, and only minor injuries to the subject. Also, we’d like to say thank you to Patriot RECC, Townsend PD, and Fitchburg PD for the quick response.”
