Police said the suspect was apprehended at 2:57 p.m. Witnesses said police pulled a man out of a silver Ford Escape at the corner of Lahaye Drive and Mount Support Road, just south of the DHMC campus. The man was taken away in a police cruiser and caution tape was put up around the car.

Bellows Falls defeated Springfield 8-0. The outcome was actually expected, but no one knew what the actual score would be. BF has moved up to the Cosmos Division II, so they won’t be around to actually defend their own title but instead will attempt to capture the one Springfield holds. Cosmos Coach Lyndsie Perkins was pleased to an extent about her team’s play despite the score because Springfield has very few returnees off last year’s team dressing 13 freshmen on their 18-per- son roster. “The future looks bright. We saw prog- ress in this game,” she said. Springfield had lost their opener 2-0 to Brattleboro BF Coach Bethany Coursen has most of her high potent offense returning from a year ago and they didn’t disappoint her. Abbe Cravinho, pictured playing the ball here, tallied three goals in the opener with Dani Marchica adding two and Molly Kelly, Sophia Hyslop and Madison Streeter adding markers.
