:rofl:
Mm. I kinda doubt even the most viperous indy press would be referring to him as "Newton man" at this point...

I know, but when I first glanced at it, I didn't see the "man" part. All I saw was "Newton in sheriff's custody". Damn, that would've been sweet.

Newton man placed in sheriff's custody following police chase, shooting

Newton — Adam Hayes, the 18-year old Newton man who allegedly led police on a chase to Lexington where officers shot him, was put in the custody of the Middlesex Sheriff's Office Wednesday. Hayes was then taken to McLean, a psychiatric hospital in Belmont.
Hayes was arraigned Tuesday on four counts of assault with a dangerous weapon and one count of driving negligently as to endanger. Instead of his scheduled dangerousness hearing, Hayes requested to be put into the sheriff's office's custody, according to District Attorney Gerry Leone’s office.
"We allege that this defendant placed lives in danger by his reckless conduct behind the wheel and placed officers in fear for the safety of themselves and others by pointing a gun at them under very tense circumstances," Leone said in a press release from his office.
Lexington police shot Hayes in the arm after he allegedly led them on a chase from Newton to Lexington Monday afternoon.
Lexington Police Chief Mark Corr said Monday evening that the state's Bank Robbery Task Force attempted to speak to Hayes in Newton. When approached, Hayes allegedly fled in a blue Mustang, and state police units pursued him north on Route 128. He exited onto Bedford Street in Lexington and fled on foot once reaching Reed Street, according to police.
Corr said other Lexington officers and state police arrived on the scene, and Hayes was commanded several times to drop a handgun. He allegedly continued to wave it at officers while walking backward, and Corr said Hayes pointed his firearm at the officers. The Lexington officers then fired their weapons, striking Hayes twice.
Hayes was transported to Lahey Clinic and was treated for what Lexington Police said are "superficial gunshot wounds." There were no other injuries in the incident.
At the arraignment Tuesday, Hayes's attorney Mark Gillis said Hayes had a BB gun, not a real weapon.
Middlesex Assistant District Attorney Kristen Michaud said police gave Hayes sever chances to drop his weapon – real or fake - before they shot him. Michaud told the court that at one point an officer asked Hayes if what he was doing was worth it, to which Hayes replied, "Yeah, it is." An officer then told Hayes to put down his gun so everyone could "go home," Michaud said, and Hayes replied, "F--- you, I'm not going home."
Hayes was arrested by Newton Police in 2007 when, at the age of 17, he allegedly pulled a gun on medical personnel called to his house on Dec. 14, 2007.
According to a police report from that incident, a medic found Hayes lying on a couch. Hayes then allegedly pulled out a 9mm and the medic immediately yelled, "Gun, gun, gun!," warning others around him. A Newton officer grabbed Hayes's arm and gun while a colleague wrenched the weapon from the teen's hand. Police found seven rounds in the gun's magazine.
Later, during a search of Hayes' car, police allegedly found a BB gun on the front passenger floor of his car and brass knuckles hidden in the car's glove compartment.
The handgun's serial numbers were heavily scratched. Police discovered the gun had been stolen from Miamisburg, Ohio.
Hayes was arrested on charges of assault by means of a dangerous weapon, assault while armed with intent to murder and receiving stolen property, among other charges.

Lexington — A Newton robbery suspect, whose escape was stopped in Lexington Monday, waved a handgun at an officer before being shot by police, Lexington's police chief said.
Adam Hayes, 18, of 40 White Pine Road in Newton, was shot in the arm by police after leading them on a chase from Newton to Lexington Monday afternoon.
Lexington Police Chief Mark Corr said Monday evening that the state's Bank Robbery Task Force attempted to speak to Hayes in Newton. When approached, Hayes allegedly fled in a Blue Mustang and state police units pursued him north on Route 128. He exited on to Bedford Street in Lexington and fled on foot once reaching Reed Street, according to police.
Corr said other Lexington officers and state police arrived on the scene and Hayes was commanded several times to drop a handgun. He allegedly continued to wave it at officers while walking backwards, and Corr said Hayes pointed his firearm at the officers. The Lexington officers then fired their weapons, striking Hayes twice.
Hayes was transported to Lahey Clinic and is being treated for what Lexington police said are "superficial gun shot wounds." He was charged with operating a motor vehicle negligently to endanger, failure to stop for a police officer and four counts of assault with a dangerous weapon. There were no other injuries in the incident.
A witness, Eliot Bugda, 20, who lives near the incident, said he saw police head down Bedford Street, then heard three gunshots at about 4:10 p.m.
"I've never seen cop cars go that fast on that road," Bugda said.
Ken Ludwig was on the phone in his house, at the corner of Vaille Avenue and Reed Street when he heard the commotion outside. The chase ended near 38 Reed St.
Ludwig said he heard screams of protests before hearing between three and five loud pops.
In front of Ludwig's house was Hayes' blue Mustang with beads hanging from the rearview mirror and the image of a dog on a slip covering each of the two front seats. A streak mark led up to a rear tire of the Mustang.
