Message from Chief Nighelli:

I’d like to take a moment and thank all the Officers/Troopers (Marion Police and Massachusetts State Police) that were involved in the investigation at 968 Point Road. Our department is committed to maintaining strong partnerships with all our law enforcement partners and this is just another example of that commitment.

As you’ve heard from me before, these drugs are not welcome in our community, and we will use every law enforcement tool available to investigate this type of illegal activity.

Great work to all the Officers/Troopers involved in this investigation!

~63 grams of Fentanyl
Numerous Oxycodone Pills
~45 grams of Psilocybin

SYNOPSIS: On September 8, 2025, members of the Massachusetts State Police (MSP) Commonwealth Interstate Narcotics Reduction Enforcement Team (CINRET-South), Troop D Detectives, the Plymouth County DA’s Office State Police Detective Unit (Plymouth SPDU), and the Marion Police Department conducted a targeted narcotics investigation resulting in seven arrests and the seizure of dangerous drugs, significantly enhancing public safety and demonstrating strong interagency collaboration.

The investigation began with a covertly intercepted communication that led to the observation of a suspected fentanyl transaction between Spencer MELLO and Alexander ARD. ARD was arrested, and a quantity of fentanyl was seized. Investigators secured (“froze”) the target location, 968 Point Road, Marion, at approximately 3:00 PM, pending a search warrant.

During the “freeze,” Spencer MELLO was arrested in possession of trafficking-weight fentanyl and additional narcotics. Jaden PABON was taken into custody on two active felony warrants related to a violent armed home invasion in Wareham. Jamiee MORRIS was arrested with crack co***ne on her possession.

At approximately 7:15 PM, investigators executed the search warrant and seized approximately 32 grams of fentanyl, 840 grams of co***ne, oxycodone pills, psilocybin mushrooms, $7,000 in U.S. currency, and other evidence consistent with drug distribution.

Later that evening, investigators arrested Travis MELLO and Niles MELLO at the Marion address in connection with the investigation. Additionally, a suspected narcotics customer, Geoffrey EVANS, pulled up to the location and fled investigators. EVANS was later arrested for OUI alcohol and failure to stop for police following a brief vehicle pursuit. All individuals were booked at SP Bourne (D7).

MATTAPOISETT: On Saturday July 02, 2022 the Mattapoisett Police Department arrested Jeffrey Hoskyns, 34 years old, of 357 Coggeshall St in New Bedford, MA and Samantha Amaral, 27 years old, of 227 Warren St in Fall River, MA for breaking and entering into a residence on Rt. 6 in Mattapoisett.

At approximately 7:00PM Mattapoisett Police dispatch received an E911 call for a possible break into a residence. The caller reported that they observed a male get out of a vehicle in their neighbor’s driveway and attempt to gain entry through the front door. The caller then observed the female passenger exit the vehicle and get into the driver’s seat while the male walked the rear of the residence out of the site of the caller. The female then left the area in the vehicle and was observed parking down the street. At that time the neighbor went over to his neighbor’s house and could hear someone inside. The neighbor attempted to make contact with the individual, however the suspect ran out the back door and fled in the direction of Brandt Island Rd. Dispatch received an additional E911 call reporting a suspicious white male fitting the suspect’s description walking in and out of driveways on Brandt Island Rd. Dispatch Officer Borges was able to relay the pertinent information in a timely fashion to Sgt. Dumas, Officer Cardoso and Officer Bates as they responded to the scene.

Officer Bates responded to the area of Brandt Island Rd where the suspect was last reported. While checking the area Officer Bates could hear what appeared to be someone in the woods. After entering the woods Officer Bates located the suspect approximately 20 yards in the woods. Hoskyns was escorted out of the woods and subsequently began resisting arrest. A struggle ensued on the side of the road causing vehicles to stop. With the assistance of a bystander and responding police, Hoskyns was taken into custody.

Subsequent to Hoskyns arrest, the suspect vehicle was located and stopped in Fairhaven by Fairhaven Police. The female operator was identified and transported to the Mattapoisett Police Station.

Jeffrey Hoskyns was charged with breaking and entering during the daytime to commit a felony, malicious destruction of property under $1200, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. Samantha Amaral was charged with breaking and entering during the daytime to commit a felony and misleading a police officer. Both suspects were arraigned in Wareham 4th District Court on July 5, 2022.

The outcome of this incident may not have turned out the same without the alertness and quick thinking of the neighbors. The Mattapoisett Police Department would like to thank the Fairhaven Police Department and the Plymouth County Sheriffs Office Bureau of Criminal Investigations Unit for their assistance in the apprehension of the suspects and the investigation.

A Message from:

Taunton Police Chief Edward Walsh

On behalf of the entire Taunton Police Department it is with deep regret and sorrow that I notify you of the passing of retired Patrolman Dennis Scully.

Patrolman Scully was a 25-year veteran of the Taunton Police Department, who retired in 2003. Prior to his service with the City, he was a proud member of the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War where he was a member of the Patrol River Division 534 in the Mekong Delta. His dedication to our department and his work with the community, especially as a K-9 officer, will never be forgotten. His loss will be felt by many.

The members of the Taunton Police Department ask that you keep Patrolman Dennis Scully, his nephew, Patrolman Christopher Williams and his great nephew, Patrolman Daniel Williams and their entire family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
