Revere Police responded to a report of an erratic driver at the Wendy’s drive-through on Squire Road at approximately 1:45 a.m. on November 6. According to police, the driver fl ed and nearly struck one of the offi - cers who were approaching the vehicle. The driver then headed east on Squire Road and entered Brown Circle travelling in the wrong direction. A short time later, the driver reportedly crashed on Malden Street, hitting a traffi c island and knocking over a utility pole. Police pursued the two suspects on foot and were able to apprehend one of them. Offi - cers soon discovered that the suspect had been previously charged in Butt’s murder. Working with State Police, Revere offi cers caught up with the second suspect at approximately 7 a.m. on November 10 at a home on Hutchinson Street. According to police, he has also been charged with having a role in the homicide. In addition to the two teens, police had arrested Felix Martinez, 20, of East Boston, in the days following Butt’s murder. Martinez remains in custody awaiting trial. “Calls from the citizens alerting us to suspicious behavior allowed us to respond and, along with the Mass. State Police K9, apprehend this individual,” said Police Chief David Callahan. “As police offi cers we never know what a call may lead to and today a suspect wanted for a murder is in custody through the quick actions of all offi cers involved.” Board of Health issues guidance for lowering COVID-19 risk at Thanksgiving O n Tuesday the Revere Board of Health issued guidance regarding lowering COVID-19 risks during Thanksgiving celebrations. Residents are strongly encouraged to consider the risks of traditional Thanksgiving celebrations. Larger, indoor gatherings with shared food and drink have been deemed “high-risk” by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) due to potential for direct and close contact, inability to maintain social distance and potential exposure of vulnerable individuals to asymptomatic individuals who are unknowingly carrying the virus. On Tuesday, November 10, the Revere Board of Health recorded 41 new cases of COVID-19 in Revere. The city is averaging 39.6 new cases a day, and its seven-day average per capita is 73.3. The city’s current level of new cases is the highest it has recorded since April. The Revere Board of Health is reminding residents that the safest way to celebrate Thanksgiving this year is at home with only the people they live with. However, if you are planning to gather with people outside of your household, there are ways to lower your risk: • Limit gatherings to as few people as possible • If possible, everyone should quarantine to the best of their AUTOTECH 1989 SINCE CA$H FOR YOUR CAR!
