“Mayor Jon Mitchell offered this reflection on the passing of former Bristol County District Attorney Paul Walsh:. “I was saddened to learn tonight of the passing of Paul Walsh, the longest serving Bristol County District Attorney. A native of New Bedford and a former basketball star at Holy Family High School, Paul was a natural politician, a student of history, and an enthusiast of all things Irish. As District Attorney, he assembled a talented team of prosecutors and unfailingly supported them in bringing difficult cases. The office secured countless convictions of individuals who victimized the innocent and threatened the safety of their communities. But his greatest legacy is that many of his hires went to become distinguished judges and elected officials themselves.

He sometimes had ideas that were different than the norm and there was never a doubt that he was a Fall River man through and through who gave decades of service and used his intelligence to better the city. According to an obituary, Melvin Earle Gaudette died recently just shy...

HYANNIS, MASSACHUSETTS – [HN VIDEO NOTES] – As you will see and hear in the following HN Video, around midnight last evening, Barnstable Police squad cars scrambled toward The Vape Way smoke shop at 11 Enterprise Road for a burglary in progress. Two individuals had just smashed the glass front door and were being watched on surveillance cameras as they entered the business. The two suspects had managed to flee the area just moments before cops arrived, one on a bicycle, the other on a scooter. About 10 minutes into the investigation, a patrolman searching the nearby area of Independence Drive radioed he was attempting to stop two males fitting the description of their burglary suspects. A number of officers quickly responded to the intersection of Independence Drive and Communication Way to assist. The suspects turned out to be two 13-year-old males. A search of their backpacks appears to have uncovered a mini-sledge hammer, along with apparent smoke shop merchandise. Both of the boys’ mothers responded to the scene where officers were investigating their sons. Officers informed the mothers about the situation. The moms were not happy with their sons.
