Chief James Sartell reports that the Townsend Police Department arrested and charged a woman who drove her vehicle into a building and then fled the scene on Sunday afternoon.
DEBORAH GYLES, AGE 61, of TOWNSEND, was arrested and charged with:
- Operating Under the Influence of Drugs
- Leaving the Scene of a Property Damage Accident
- Unregistered Motor Vehicle
On Sunday, May 7, at 3:20 p.m., Townsend Police received a report that a vehicle struck a commercial building at 220 Main St., and that the vehicle involved fled the scene.
Following an on-scene investigation, Townsend Police were able to locate the vehicle involved in the incident at the residence of GYLES.
Following additional investigation at that location, GYLES was taken into custody.
GYLES will be arraigned in Ayer District Court on Monday.
The damaged structure contains multiple stores, but damage to the building was sustained to a vacant portion of the building.
These are allegations. All suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
