Marshfield MA March 10, 2020, Marshfield Police Department officers were dispatched to a business on Ocean Street on Tuesday, Feb. 25, at 3:15 p.m., following report of a shoplifter.
Officers were told the vehicle, a brown Nissan Altima, had left the parking lot driven by the shoplifter, a female, with a male passenger.
“The witness stated that some cameras had been stolen and the vehicle left at a high rate of speed,” Sgt. Liam Rooney said. “It drove through the red light, cutting off traffic at the intersection [in front of the business] while attempting to leave the scene.”
After beginning to search the area, police received a 911 call from a resident of South River Street who told them a vehicle, which matched the earlier report, had pulled into their driveway and a male passenger had left the vehicle and started walking toward South River School.
Officers arrived on scene, identifying the female driver as Jennifer L. Poor, 39, of 13 North River Drive, Scituate, and seeing items matching the ones stolen from the business in plain view.
Chief Phil Tavares was on scene and located the male passenger, identified as Michael S. Spear, 44, of 95 Broad St., Weymouth. Spear on the rear field of the school, walking toward the woods. Spear had an active probation warrant and was placed under arrest.
Poor was also placed under arrest and transported to the Marshfield Police station.
After towing the vehicle to the police station, officers conducted an inventory search, locating two prescription pill bottles in the front console containing Adderall and Gabapentin, neither of which were prescribed to Poor.
Spear was arrested under the existing warrant and Poor was charged with two counts of possession of a class E drug, 11 counts of shoplifting by asportation and failure to stop.
Bail was set at $40 for Poor and she was released that night. As Spear’s was a probation warrant, bail was not set and he was transferred to the Plymouth County House of Corrections.
South River School families were notified via that evening of the incident by Principal Emily Baird.
