Corrections

March 19, 2025

In the caption for image in the March 13 issue headlined “Proposal would clear-cut and replant several wooded acres,” the area on the three lot parcel proposed for clear-cutting and replanting was incorrect; it’s the darker-green portion, not the lighter-green. The article also inaccurately stated the percentage of the three-lot parcel on Old Winter Street that would be — its 33%, not 40%. The article has been updated.

The March 17 article headlined “Lincoln man arrested on weapons charges” had an incorrect name for the man arrested on gun charges. His first name is Daniel, not David. The article has been corrected.

Lincoln man arrested on weapons charges

March 17, 2025

The AK-47 , 9mm handgun, and magazines weapons seized by Lincoln police on March 15.

A Lincoln man was arrested on multiple gun charges last weekend after a resident called police to report hearing gunshots shortly before midnight on Saturday, March 15.

Police checked the area of South Great Road near the Weston town line and discovered two men in a car parked in the lot at the entrance to the Twin Pond conservation trails just east of Weston Nurseries. An officer “observed one of the AK47-variant magazines in center console” and detained one of the occupants, though the other one fled, according to Police Chief Sean Kennedy. The suspect couldn’t be located despite a search involving Weston, Wayland, and Concord police assisted by a drone and a police dog from the Massachusetts State Police.

The police body cam photo of Justin Warner of Clay, N.Y., who turned himself in on March 17.

Police arrested Daniel Hoch, 20, of 149 Tower Rd. in Lincoln and charged him with two counts of possession of a large-capacity firearm, three counts of possession of large-capacity feeding magazine, two counts of possessing a firearm without a firearms ID card, two counts of possessing ammunition without a firearms ID card, and one count of possession of a firearm with a defaced serial number.

On March 16, police posted a picture of the escaped suspect taken with a police body camera on the department’s Instagram page on March 16 and identified him as Justin Warner, of Clay, N.Y. saying they believed he as no longer in the immediate area. However, he turned himself in to Lincoln police around midday on Monday and was charged with the same offenses as Hoch.

Kennedy said he didn’t know who owned the guns or why they were fired Saturday night.

Both men will be assigned a court date during their arrangement at Concord District Court. State law calls for a prison term of two and a half to ten years on each count of unlawfully possessing a large-capacity firearm, and one to two and a half years for the untraceable firearm charge.

High winds create havoc on town roads

March 9, 2025

High winds sent dozens of tree limbs crashing to the ground on Friday, March 7, causing a busy day for police, the DPW, and Eversource.

The first of more than 20 calls to police about downed trees and/or power lines came Friday morning at 6:46am. Crews with chainsaws and a wood chipper leaped into action, but by 10:00am, Lincoln Road next to Pierce Park was still partially obstructed. Page Road was also completely blocked its intersection with Trapelo Road with downed power lines as well as a tree.

Reports also came in for Deerhaven Road, Old Sudbury Road, Beaver Pond Road, Giles Road, Old County Road, Boyce Farm Road, Concord Road, Weston Road, Baker Bridge Road, Old Farm Road, Davison Drive, and Sandy Pond Road.

“It was all kind of happening at once,” Lincoln Police Sgt. Matthew Armata said about Friday’s problems, which happened mostly without warning.

A National Weather Service wind advisory early Friday morning for most of Massachusetts warned of winds gusting up to 50-60mph. Another advisory for winds 15-30 mph with gusts of 40-50 mph was issued for Saturday.
