Malden Man Struggles With State Troopers in Highway Traffic
Barry Jean-Baptiste, 26, of Malden allegedly ran into traffic during a traffic stop in Millbury. Police later found a gun and an ounce of marijuana in his car.
All are safe after a Malden man allegedly declared he "wanted to end his life and take some troopers with him" during a reportedly dangerous struggle on a state highway in Millbury Friday night.
Barry Jean-Baptiste, 26, was allegedly uncooperative when stopped by police around 10:30 p.m. on Route 146. Police said he produced what appeared to be a fake ID and a rental car agreement that was nearly two weeks expired.
Asked to stop out of the car, a patdown allegedly revealed the man had a small knife in his possession.
As police began searching his car, Jean-Baptiste allegedly ran into traffic and declared suicidal intentions to the officers.
An officer was reportedly nearly hit by a tractor trailer in the ensuing struggle to return Jean-Baptiste to the breakdown lane. At one point, he attempted to jump off the side of a nearby off-ramp.
After the arrest, a search of Jean-Baptiste's vehicle allegedly yielded a 40 caliber handgun, an ounce of marijuana with evidence of drug distribution and more than $2,000 cash.
He faces numerous charges, including the alleged unlawful possession of a firearm without a permit, possession of a high capacity firearm, operating with a suspended license, five counts of assault and battery on a police officer, possession with intent to distribute a class D substance, resisting arrest, threasts and "numerous" motor vehicle violations.
Jean-Baptiste was held over the weekend and faced arraignment in Worcester District Court Monday.

He wasn't using that scale for only weed. And he definitely didn't build that bankroll off only weed, either.

Weed dealers are just as dangerous as any other drug dealer don't kid yourself. They make just as much money at that level too.

And to think that Malden kid that got struck trying to cross the MassPike trying to make an honest living and this criminal above survives his highway crossing... How awfully ironic !!

Not for nothing, Jay....but that kid that tried to cross the Mass Pike...well, that wasn't a very SMART move, was it?
Greg

Hey Paul. At least the kid trying to cross the Pike was trying to do it for the right reason. I'm sure in his eyes it was a smart move so he wouldn't be late for work. No comparison in this situation. To bad the Tooper didn't let this ass get hit. He and his sibilngs have been wreaking havoc in this city for way to long.

Broadway It's the place to be. We are the Magnet for these people. If they dont live here they are visiting the scumbags who do. They hide out with their G/F's in public housing taking showers and washing their clothes on our waterbills. Hiding their weapons here as well.

Molis isn't chief, and this ddidn't happen in Malden.

ah, but it was a dealer from malden, he will soon be chief, (wanna bet the usual) and isn't he part of the anti crime task force, shouldnt this guy have been under the watch of that task force,you know the people that are considered playahs buy the police as stated just recently by the mayor and his safety comittee... just sayin....

and for the record, I dont have anything against whomever the Mayor picks, I dont know them and have never met them. It just kinda irks me that we are not considering outside candidate, who knows maybe the best candidate is on the Malden PD, but we will never know because we already narrowed it down to the 2 or 3 possible choices from Malden only. And maybe a police chief with no higher ed credentials is the best candidate and best skilled to solve the cities crime issues

He was arrested in 2010 and again in 2011 for drug distribution in Malden.

jirkyrick, one could easily make the argument about Mr Jean-Baptiste has benefited from the inactions of Beacon Hill and a lax judicial system rather than the actions of the Malden Police Dept.. Essentially Malden PD and other police forces are hamstrung by these criminal rights advocates that are festering throughout Beacon Hill and have infested the powerful Ways & Means Committee..

Geesh I didnt know we had a crime force here? I thought all the other cities joined in for the raids on the parks. Are they still doing that?
jirkyrick

we actually do have a crime task force. Not exactly sure how it is organized or who is the lead person for strategy though. They never publicize the results and accomplishments. I do know Powder Puff Girls 52 Mojo JoJo 0

This guy and some of his siblings have been getting arrested in this city for years.
I hope the hell they are comparing his face to the photos and video from the Main St shooting. Not saying there is any connection? But I hope they would have enough sense to see if there is any match?
