REHOBOTH Developing, 10:06 p.m. Nov. 14, 2026.
A man Seekonk police were chasing Friday night hit a Seekonk police cruiser, crashed on Summer Street in Rehoboth and was caught after running a short distance on foot, and a Rehoboth police K-9 named Edo then led officers to a gun police identified as a ghost gun, according to the Rehoboth Police Department.
Seekonk officers were chasing the man at about 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 13, after he had reportedly threatened people with a firearm before fleeing the scene, Rehoboth police said in a Facebook post Saturday evening that the Seekonk Police Department shared.
During the chase the man struck a Seekonk cruiser and kept going into Rehoboth, where he crashed his vehicle on Summer Street and fled a short distance on foot, according to the post. Seekonk officers found him and took him into custody without further incident, police said, but the gun witnesses described had not been found.
Rehoboth police Sgt. Aguiar and his K-9 partner, Edo, were sent to help look for it. After an extensive search of the area, Edo gave a trained indication in a wooded area near the crash site, and officers searching that spot recovered a gun matching the description witnesses gave, the department said.
The firearm police recovered was identified as a ghost gun, and Rehoboth police detectives collected and processed it as evidence, the department said.
The post does not name the man or list any charges.
