Newton — Adam Hayes, the 18-year old Newton man who allegedly led police on a chase to Lexington where officers shot him, was put in the custody of the Middlesex Sheriff’s Office Wednesday. Hayes was then taken to McLean, a psychiatric hospital in Belmont.

Hayes was arraigned Tuesday on four counts of assault with a dangerous weapon and one count of driving negligently as to endanger. Instead of his scheduled dangerousness hearing, Hayes requested to be put into the sheriff’s office’s custody, according to District Attorney Gerry Leone’s office.

"We allege that this defendant placed lives in danger by his reckless conduct behind the wheel and placed officers in fear for the safety of themselves and others by pointing a gun at them under very tense circumstances," Leone said in a press release from his office.

Lexington police shot Hayes in the arm after he allegedly led them on a chase from Newton to Lexington Monday afternoon.

Lexington Police Chief Mark Corr said Monday evening that the state’s Bank Robbery Task Force attempted to speak to Hayes in Newton. When approached, Hayes allegedly fled in a blue Mustang, and state police units pursued him north on Route 128. He exited onto Bedford Street in Lexington and fled on foot once reaching Reed Street, according to police.

Corr said other Lexington officers and state police arrived on the scene, and Hayes was commanded several times to drop a handgun. He allegedly continued to wave it at officers while walking backward, and Corr said Hayes pointed his firearm at the officers. The Lexington officers then fired their weapons, striking Hayes twice.

Hayes was transported to Lahey Clinic and was treated for what Lexington Police said are “superficial gunshot wounds.” There were no other injuries in the incident.

This is funny because Adam Hayes was considered one of the "leaders" during my senior year.  :roflmao:

OUCH! Don't it often hash out thatta way...

Goes to show just how much and how easily some kids can scam that system. Doesn't do them any good, and it doesn't do anyone else any good. My guess is that Hayes' "unique potential" was not fully realized nor brought to fruition by his time at Hyde.  

I'd also wager that the unique potential of Hayes' tuition monies were, quite probably, and I apologize for my lack of tact, ...appreciated more fundamentally.

Newton man placed in sheriff's custody following police chase, shooting

Adam Hayes, 18, of Newton, is arraigned in his hospital bed at Lahey Clinic Medical Center in Burlington. His defense attorney, Mark Gillis, is next to him. Jeff Gilbride

Newton — Adam Hayes, the 18-year old Newton man who allegedly led police on a chase to Lexington where officers shot him, was put in the custody of the Middlesex Sheriff's Office Wednesday. Hayes was then taken to McLean, a psychiatric hospital in Belmont.

Hayes was arraigned Tuesday on four counts of assault with a dangerous weapon and one count of driving negligently as to endanger. Instead of his scheduled dangerousness hearing, Hayes requested to be put into the sheriff's office's custody, according to District Attorney Gerry Leone’s office.

"We allege that this defendant placed lives in danger by his reckless conduct behind the wheel and placed officers in fear for the safety of themselves and others by pointing a gun at them under very tense circumstances," Leone said in a press release from his office.

Lexington police shot Hayes in the arm after he allegedly led them on a chase from Newton to Lexington Monday afternoon.

Lexington Police Chief Mark Corr said Monday evening that the state's Bank Robbery Task Force attempted to speak to Hayes in Newton. When approached, Hayes allegedly fled in a blue Mustang, and state police units pursued him north on Route 128. He exited onto Bedford Street in Lexington and fled on foot once reaching Reed Street, according to police.

Corr said other Lexington officers and state police arrived on the scene, and Hayes was commanded several times to drop a handgun. He allegedly continued to wave it at officers while walking backward, and Corr said Hayes pointed his firearm at the officers. The Lexington officers then fired their weapons, striking Hayes twice.

Hayes was transported to Lahey Clinic and was treated for what Lexington Police said are "superficial gunshot wounds." There were no other injuries in the incident.

At the arraignment Tuesday, Hayes's attorney Mark Gillis said Hayes had a BB gun, not a real weapon.

Middlesex Assistant District Attorney Kristen Michaud said police gave Hayes sever chances to drop his weapon – real or fake ­­­­- before they shot him. Michaud told the court that at one point an officer asked Hayes if what he was doing was worth it, to which Hayes replied, "Yeah, it is." An officer then told Hayes to put down his gun so everyone could "go home," Michaud said, and Hayes replied, "F--- you, I'm not going home."

Hayes was arrested by Newton Police in 2007 when, at the age of 17, he allegedly pulled a gun on medical personnel called to his house on Dec. 14, 2007.

According to a police report from that incident, a medic found Hayes lying on a couch. Hayes then allegedly pulled out a 9mm and the medic immediately yelled, "Gun, gun, gun!," warning others around him. A Newton officer grabbed Hayes's arm and gun while a colleague wrenched the weapon from the teen's hand. Police found seven rounds in the gun's magazine.

Later, during a search of Hayes' car, police allegedly found a BB gun on the front passenger floor of his car and brass knuckles hidden in the car's glove compartment.

The handgun's serial numbers were heavily scratched. Police discovered the gun had been stolen from Miamisburg, Ohio.

Hayes was arrested on charges of assault by means of a dangerous weapon, assault while armed with intent to murder and receiving stolen property, among other charges.

Lexington — A Newton robbery suspect, whose escape was stopped in Lexington Monday, waved a handgun at an officer before being shot by police, Lexington's police chief said.

Adam Hayes, 18, of 40 White Pine Road in Newton, was shot in the arm by police after leading them on a chase from Newton to Lexington Monday afternoon.

Lexington Police Chief Mark Corr said Monday evening that the state's Bank Robbery Task Force attempted to speak to Hayes in Newton. When approached, Hayes allegedly fled in a Blue Mustang and state police units pursued him north on Route 128. He exited on to Bedford Street in Lexington and fled on foot once reaching Reed Street, according to police.

Corr said other Lexington officers and state police arrived on the scene and Hayes was commanded several times to drop a handgun. He allegedly continued to wave it at officers while walking backwards, and Corr said Hayes pointed his firearm at the officers. The Lexington officers then fired their weapons, striking Hayes twice.

Hayes was transported to Lahey Clinic and is being treated for what Lexington police said are "superficial gun shot wounds." He was charged with operating a motor vehicle negligently to endanger, failure to stop for a police officer and four counts of assault with a dangerous weapon. There were no other injuries in the incident.

A witness, Eliot Bugda, 20, who lives near the incident, said he saw police head down Bedford Street, then heard three gunshots at about 4:10 p.m.
"I've never seen cop cars go that fast on that road," Bugda said.

Ken Ludwig was on the phone in his house, at the corner of Vaille Avenue and Reed Street when he heard the commotion outside. The chase ended near 38 Reed St.

Ludwig said he heard screams of protests before hearing between three and five loud pops.

In front of Ludwig's house was Hayes' blue Mustang with beads hanging from the rearview mirror and the image of a dog on a slip covering each of the two front seats. A streak mark led up to a rear tire of the Mustang.

Suspect Shot After Leading Police On Car Chase


The chase turned into a foot pursuit after the driver pulled onto Read Street -- a dead end road. WBZ

NEWTON (WBZ) ? A Newton teen wanted for questioning led police on a chase into Lexington Monday afternoon.

Police with the bank robbery task force in Newton say they tried to pull over Adam Hayes, 18, in Newton. That's when he took off in a blue Mustang.

According to sources, Hayes was wanted for questioning in connection to a bank robbery in Wellesley.

Police say Hayes sped through Newton and continued onto Route 128 North, where state police took over the chase.

Hayes got off the highway and sped onto Route 4 in Lexington. As the chase continued, Hayes allegedly turned onto Reed Street – a dead end road. "The driver, the sole occupant, exited the vehicle and waved a handgun," said Lexington Chief of Police Mark Corr. "The man was commanded several times to drip he weapon."

Corr said Hayes was waving the gun while walking backward.

A witness told WBZ's Beth Germano there were about 15-18 cruisers on the street and about a half dozen police officers with guns drawn. "(They) were crouching behind trees and the wall, slowly moving down Reed Street."

When he allegedly pointed the gun at officers, police opened fire. Police say three to five shots were fired. Two of the bullets hit Hayes. "The man was arrested and taken to Lahey Clinic for treatment of superficial wounds," Corr said.

Hayes was placed under arrest and charged with operating a motor vehicle negligently to endanger, failure to stop for a police officer and four counts of assault with a dangerous weapon.

Hayes was the only person injured during the incident.

Corr would not say why the Newton Police Bank Robbery Task Force wanted to talk to Hayes.

...Adam Hayes was considered one of the "leaders" during my senior year.

Here's some of that consideration which managed to wend its way to the world wide web...

Adam Hayes was part of this lil road trip in 2006; he's mentioned in "Day One":

-------------- • -------------- • --------------

Sophomore Scholars Head South for Spring
4/14/2006

Day One: The Voyage
Our Sophomore Scholars expedition started with a long ride through New England and the northern Mid-Atlantic states. Our first assignment was to create a rap song about a historical event in only 15 minutes. Once the songs were ready, the scholars' vehicle, "The Green Bean," pulled over on the rough streets of New York where they performed their raps on a city sidewalk. Mahalia Gauld, Pat Forenza, and Adam Hayes won the "Best Performance" award for "I've Got 95 Theses and a Pope Ain't One." Mariah Scarce and Warren Waller won "Best Lyrical Throw-down" for their original piece titled "J-Maddi" (to get us warmed up for visiting James Madison's estate, Montpelier, on the following day).

Day Two: Montpelier
After an hour-and-a-half drive to the rural estate of our nation's fourth President, James Madison, we met our Montpelier tour guides and headed out on a trail to the Gilmore cabin. George Gilmore was an emancipated slave after the Union won the War Between the States; he rented the cabin from James Madison's nephew, and eventually bought it from him for $500. Gilmore, his wife, three boys, and two girls lived in the cabin.

At the cabin, we immediately took stacks of hay, and stuffed and sewed four tick beds (mattresses). We then went to the estate and looked at the barn and the actual Madison household. It was being restored, so we had only glimpses of different rooms, but it definitely looked to be an interesting work in progress. The last activity of the day was under a temple on the grounds, where everyone dressed up and reenacted the life of a particular slave.

Days Three and Four: Hyde-DC
When we arrived at Hyde-DC, we entered a shell of school. A broken water main had given way to a day off from school and work. In true Hyde fashion, we shot from the hip and figured out a way to make it work. In more true Hyde fashion, DC Athletic Director Tal Bayer devoted his day off to our group. We boarded DC's only school vehicle—a nine-year-old, twenty-four passenger bus fully equipped with speakers and subs. Bath and DC students were dispersed throughout the seats and the noise was piercing but joyous. We grabbed breakfast at a greasy spoon in Arlington and talked Hyde, sports, and teenage life. After some initial trepidation on the part of some of the Scholars, they quickly warmed to their respective DC hosts, and by the end of the day each person had made a new friend.

With the water system fully repaired, school was back in session the following morning. The Sophomore Scholars were in class with their D.C. counterparts and they seemed jubilant about it. Sophomore Scholar Teacher Tom Marshall notes the following about the school: "What struck me the most was the warmth of every person I interacted with at Hyde DC. No matter what class or meeting we interrupted, every person stood up, shook our hands, and made sure that I would have a wonderful day. There is a contagious spirit; one that I think we could learn a great deal from."

After leaving the school, we drove downtown and found a quiet patch of grass along the reflecting pool beneath the Lincoln Memorial. What was meant to be a routine debrief became an hour-long discussion about race, Conscience, Brother's Keeper, and the importance of appreciating our lives. Tom notes: "I have taught these seven sophomores since September and am amazed at their growth. This afternoon they spoke with conviction, maturity, and concern. Having the discussion at the sight where MLK delivered his I Have a Dream speech was the epitome of appropriate; I would not have wanted to be anywhere else."

Traveling outside of school is a powerful way to connect with kids and nourish our own spirits. Our kids have adventurous tendencies, which is what brought them to us in the first place. This week was a chance for us to exercise those tendencies in a positive way, and I am forever grateful to our friends at Hyde-DC who opened their homes to us.

—Tom Marshall, Aaron Hinton, and the Sophomore Scholars
