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.

This is funny because Adam Hayes was considered one of the "leaders" during my senior year.  :roflmao:
