At 7:59 a.m. a Jacob Gates Road resident complained that an emergency medical technician had parked in the driveway while responding to a request for help from another person in the house; the caller threatened to have the car towed. An officer resolved the dispute. At 1:16 p.m. a private investigator called for information on two people. At 8:26 p.m. an officer on Prospect Hill Road saw three motorcyclists racing by. He got out of his car and signaled them to slow down, but they did not. He followed them with his flashers on, but they refused to pull over; he clocked them at 98 miles per hour on Still River Road. They crossed into Bolton, but the officer had recorded their license plate numbers. The two 19-year-olds and one 20-year-old were all from Clinton. They received summonses for a range of violations including failure to stop for police, speeding, negligent operation of a vehicle, and—in one case—harsh and objectionable noise.
