Cape Cod Man Charged After Foot Chase With Police

WEST YARMOUTH, MA — A local man with outstanding warrants was spotted in a local bar recently, eventually leading to a foot chase across a busy Cape Cod road.

A tip sent to police just prior to 9 p.m. on Thursday night led officers to the parking lot of Scally’s Irish Ale House where Darren Devine, 32, of West Yarmouth, who was wanted on two outstanding warrants, was seen.

"Devine was well known to officers to have a history of violence toward law enforcement and a long, violent criminal history," police said.

When officers arrived, they were told Devine had just left.

Officer Jefferson Willis located Devine in a parked car in the lot and ordered him out, police said. Devine exited the car and fled on foot, running through traffic across Route 28 and into a nearby parking lot.

After a "brief scuffle" in that parking lot, Devine was taken into custody.

In addition to the two arrest warrants, Devine was charged with disorderly conduct. He was arraigned in Barnstable District Court Friday morning.
