Upon arriving in the area of the reported incident, Officer Scott Parker observed an individual walking from the area of the scene. The individual was observed to be carrying an item, which was initially believed to be a firearm. Immediately upon seeing the marked police cruiser, the individual covered his face and ran from the scene. This individual, who was subsequently identified as James Robinson, 21, of Billerica, failed to stop for the officer and a foot pursuit ensued.

Within approximately thirty minutes Robinson was located and apprehended after a brief struggle. Nobody was seriously injured in the arrest.
