The Arrest

On Monday, November 7, 2016 at approximately 4:00 a.m., Worcester Police responded to 21 Oread Street to help Worcester EMS on a medical call. Responding officers were told by police dispatchers that the caller asked for an ambulance, but that they did not want the police to respond. The caller said that the person needing medical assistance had a serious cut to their hand.

The victim, Morales, 24, of 21 Oread Street, told EMS personnel that he cut his hand on a window.

An officer at the scene immediately recognized Morales. The officer had recently responded to two commercial breaks hours earlier and the suspect was captured on security cameras. One of the scenes had a broken window with blood on the floor. Morales was the suspect captured in the breaks. Other evidence was recovered at the scene that linked Morales to the breaks.

Prior to being transported to the hospital the officer informed Morales about the evidence recovered. Morales was then informed that he was being placed under arrest for the breaks.
