Witness Reports a Capsized Boat

Sunday, May 31

At 9:06 a.m., a self-cleaning oven malfunctioned and caused an oven fire.

At 11:43 a.m., a found backpack was reported.

At 1 p.m., a person with a metal detector was reported at the cemetery. Police checked Old Burial Hill and Fountain Inn, but couldn’t locate anyone.

At 1:04 p.m., a motor vehicle stop occurred on a vehicle traveling 60 mph in a 30 mph zone on Humphrey Street.

At 1:22 p.m., a sergeant found a ring.

AT 2:06 p.m., a woman reported a capsized boat off the Adams House. The caller watched the situation from her deck and reported the individuals were able to right the boat and get onboard, but she felt it was going to capsize again. The boat was with Pleon Yacht Club, which police were unable to contact. They did reach Eastern Yacht Club, however, who reached out to Pleon and sent someone out to retrieve the kids and boat. The harbormaster found there was a coach with the kids sailing, but that the water was bad and so the harbormaster planned to stay with the boat until everyone was ashore.

At 5:57 p.m., a call came in regarding a child who had possibly ingested Minwax.
