Massachusetts State Police are actively searching for a 23-year-old suspect from Methuen who is wanted in connection with a violent incident that occurred on Sunday evening in Lowell. The suspect, whose name has not been publicly released, is alleged to have struck a state trooper with his vehicle while fleeing a traffic stop. According to authorities, the incident began on Church Street when a trooper from the Concord Barracks initiated a stop for a license plate violation involving a black Infinity sedan. During the interaction, the driver was removed from the vehicle to be questioned regarding a bag of marijuana found inside. Police report that the driver then returned to the driver’s seat and deliberately struck the trooper with the vehicle before fleeing the scene. The trooper sustained minor injuries and was evaluated by Lowell EMS at the scene. A warrant has been requested for the suspect’s arrest, and the State Police have issued a notice to be on the lookout for the suspect vehicle. The man is facing multiple serious charges, including felony assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, resisting arrest, negligent operation of a motor vehicle, marked lanes violation, number plate violation, furnishing marijuana to a person under 21 years old, and failure to stop for police. Authorities urge the public to remain vigilant and report any information regarding the suspect’s whereabouts or the black Infinity sedan. Tips can be directed to the Massachusetts State Police. This is an ongoing investigation, and the suspect remains at large as of Monday.
