On August 4, 2026, I, Officer N. Moreira, was working Sector East-2. I responded to the area of 614 Somerville Avenue for a report of a stolen motor vehicle being tracked by GPS. The vehicle was described as a gray Honda Civic, MA Registration XXXX. Detective C. Collette and K-9 Officer A. Lorenti along with K-9 Fluff, responded to the area as well. The vehicle was confirmed stolen by Somerville Dispatch.

Detective Collette and Officer A. Lorenti spotted the vehicle on Somerville Avenue turning right onto Park Street. Detective Collette activated his emergency lights and sirens and initiated a motor vehicle stop at 43 Park Street. Officer A. Lorenti approached the driver's side and ordered the driver out of the vehicle and placed the male party in handcuffs. I approached the passenger side and ordered the female passenger out and placed her in handcuffs.

The male party was identified as Jerimiah Taste. The female passenger was identified as XXXX.

Detective C. Collette spoke with Taste; please see supplemental report.  (26053866-2)

Then Taste was transported back to headquarters and booked in the usual manner by Lieutenant E. Kim.

The small amount of narcotics will be entered for destruction.
