Although Haverhill Police were initially able to stop Cesar, he was able to evade officers and fled at a “high rate of speed” onto Interstate 495. After being contacted by Haverhill Police, state troopers intervened and located the Mercedes traveling southbound on Interstate 93 in Andover. However, Cesar allegedly refused to stop, thus causing police to give chase. Police terminated the pursuit at Commerce Way in Woburn after losing sight of the vehicle. By 9:30 a.m., the pursuit had resumed on I-93 south. Police also deployed a spike strip in an attempt to stop the Mercedes. However, they were not successful as Cesar got off the highway at exit 32 and got on Route 60 in Medford. The pursuit was then terminated for a second time, according to police. A state trooper found the vehicle four minutes later near Auburn Street in Medford. The trooper got out of his cruiser MAYOR | FROM PAGE 1 3.

Recognition of Juneteenth as an official Holiday in Malden Juneteenth represents the oldest known celebration of the abolition of slavery in the United States. It dates back to June 19, 1865, when, after arriving in Texas with Union troops, Union Army General Gordon Granger read “General Order No. 3” announcing the emancipation of slaves. In Malden, we will be commemorating Juneteenth for the third year in a row with an annual flag raising and community celebration, albeit virtually this year, thanks to dedicated community groups like MaldenCORE. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts officially recognized Juneteenth as a state holiday in 2007, and this year, the City of Malden will not just celebrate the day, but also officially recognize it as a city holiday to honor the history, sacrifices and legacy of our African American community.
