| *** WATCH *** WOMAN REPORTS MAN RELATED TO HER EX BREAKING HER WINDOW IN DOWNTOWN HYANNIS Sunday August 03, 2025 |
| *** GRAPHIC CONTENT WARNING *** VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED ***
HYANNIS, MASSACHUSETTS ? [HN VIDEO NOTES] ? Barnstable Police patrol officers rushed to the 500 block of Main Street at around 1:45 a.m. this morning for a woman reporting a man knocking, breaking her window. The man was said to be somehow related to her ex-husband.
HN arrived and began documenting a very volatile and bloody scene where police officers had the extremely difficult task of securing a man in handcuffs while trying to control the bleeding from a severe laceration to the man's forearm. The man was continually yelling in Spanish, things like, ?I'm in pain? take me to my house? let me go! why are you doing this to me?? Officers tried their best to get the man to calm down, explaining in English that they needed to take him to the hospital for the severe cut. HN attempted to tell the man to calm down in Spanish, worried that his agitated state was only making the bleeding worse. Nothing worked? and a police officer needed to ride in the ambulance to Cape Cod Hospital to assist the ambulance crew in maintaining control.
A trail of the man's blood led back to a house in the 500 block of Main Street, where officers found a smashed in kitchen window.
A couple of the officers were covered with blood from the ordeal, needing to change into clean uniforms back at police headquarters.
A member of the sheriff's crime scene unit arrived to photograph blood evidence and the broken window.
Because the caller mentioned the man was related to her ex-husband, it's being treated as a domestic related call, which means officers are unable to officially confirm details until after an arraignment, should criminal charges be filed.
HN will provide official updates as they become available.
*** CAUTION *** The following HN Video documents a very volatile ? and very public ? scene in the downtown Hyannis area. Some of the footage captures graphic realities that some viewers may find disturbing. Viewer discretion is highly advised.

| *** WATCH *** JUVENILE SEEN CARRYING INJURED UNDERAGE DRIVER AWAY FROM MANGLED WRECK Sunday August 03, 2025 |
| WEST YARMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS ? [HN VIDEO NOTES] ? A caller told police that one of the juveniles was seen carrying the injured juvenile driver away from the single-vehicle crash on Webbers Path at the intersection with Kristen Path shortly after midnight this morning. The two fleeing juvenile males were the only occupants of the mangled Jeep Wrangler found wrapped around a tree after it had lost control. One of the fleeing juveniles was said to be badly injured, and police immediately began searching the area. A Barnstable Police K9 unit, along with a Barnstable PD drone operator, arrived on scene to assist Yarmouth officers in the search if necessary.
As you will see and hear in the following HN Video, both juvenile males were eventually found at nearby family residences. The underage driver was eventually transported to Cape Cod Hospital to be treated for injuries not believed to be life-threatening.
The Yarmouth PD is investigating the cause of the crash. A member of the sheriff's crime scene unit assisted with photos. Criminal motor vehicle charges have not been ruled out.

| MAN SENTENCED TO 12-14 YEARS FOR 2023 PROVINCETOWN RAPE? Friday August 01, 2025 |
| DA'S MEDIA STATEMENT [NO BOOKING PHOTO AVAILABLE]: ?MAN ATTACKES WOMEN AFTER SHE DENIES HIS ADVANCES. JURY FINDS HIM GUILTY OF SEXUAL ASSAULT.?
Cape & Islands District Attorney Robert J. Galibois announced [yesterday] that on July 21, 2025, 26-year-old Tamanine Hamilton of Truro, was found guilty of multiple sexual assault charges after a jury trial in the Barnstable Superior Court.
On Augst 18, 2023, a woman walked into the Provincetown police department to report a sexual assault that occurred in Provincetown earlier that morning. The victim reported that the defendant Tamanine Hamilton, who after she repeatedly rejected his advances and felt uncomfortable around, sexually assaulted her while she was walking home during the early morning hours of August 18, 2023.
It was learned during the investigation that the victim had come to know Mr. Hamilton through her job. The victim became increasingly uncomfortable by advances towards her made by the defendant which led her to quit her job.
After a 6-day trial beginning on July 14, 2025, and 2 hours of deliberations, a Barnstable County jury convicted the defendant Mr. Hamilton on three counts of rape and one count of indecent assault and battery on a person over the age of 14. The jury found Mr. Hamilton not guilty on one count of indecent assault and battery on a person over 14.
The investigation was conducted by Sergent Jennifer Nolette and Officer Jane Grigoriadis of the Provincetown Police Department and prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney, Chief of Domestic Violence Alexandra Isaacs and Victim Witness Deborah McCoy.
District Attorney Galibois would like to recognize and commend the incredible strength and bravery it takes for a victim to come forward and share their experience in a courtroom. Testifying about deeply personal and painful experiences is never easy but doing so helps bring accountability and gives voice to those who have been harmed.
Today, Tamanine Hamilton was sentenced in the Barnstable Superior Court to 12- 14 years in state prison, 14 years' probation concurrent with sentence, and must register as a sex offender.
