Dozens of people gathered at the board’s limited meeting in Danvers Tuesday night calling for help after a weekend attack on a well-known community member.
Chris Anderson, or ‘Ducky’ as most know him, became emotional when talking about the incident and how it affected him.
It just breaks my heart every day, and I can’t sleep at night. I’m sorry, guys. And it’s hard. Can you please do more for me, Anderson said.
The alleged incident took place at HRMS/Plains Park and police know many people are asking questions and looking for answers.
“Please know that our department is taking this incident very seriously and we are actively investigating to ensure all parties involved are held accountable,” Danvers police said in a release.
People at the meeting spoke angrily about a group of young people in the city who have been causing problems in the city for years.
Anserson’s mother and others called for something to be done after this latest attack.
“I’ve had many encounters with them driving my car. When they give me the finger for yelling at me, it kills me. And if they’re going to damn near kill my son, who wouldn’t hurt a flea, I’ve had it up to here,” she said.
Danvers Police also said they are not releasing many details because the incident involved Junelines, but are asking anyone with information about this incident, or others, to report it directly to our department at 978-774-1212.
“We recognize that this may be frustrating as a community, but we assure you that this does not reflect the commitment of our department and officers to thoroughly investigate this and any incident,” police said.
