Authorities say a jealous boyfriend crashed his car into his girlfriend’s car Monday and chased her through the streets of Framingham because she was giving another man a ride home.
The Metrowest Daily News reports the police arrested Fabricio DeOliveira, 19, at his 25 Bethany Road home after the 2:15 p.m. incident.
Police went to Westview Road after several calls about cars “traveling at a high rate of speed through residential neighborhoods and caused significant damage to several parked vehicles,” according to a police report filed in Framingham District Court Tuesday.
Police found an 18-year-old woman in a damaged car. She told police that she was giving a male friend a ride home from Framingham High School when her boyfriend, DeOliveira sideswiped her car with his.
DeOliveira chased the car through several neighborhoods. The woman said she hit some trees and parked cars because she was so afraid, police wrote in the report.
DeOliveira drove his car head-on into the rear passenger side and drove off, police wrote in the report.
According to the report, police are still determining how many vehicles may have been struck.
Police went to DeOliveira’s home. At first he denied anything happening, but discovered a car in his neighbor’s driveway with recent damage. DeOliveira admitted he had borrowed his neighbor’s car, but denied chasing and striking his girlfriend’s car.
Police arrested DeOliveira and charged him with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon (car), driving without a license and leaving the scene of an accident causing property damage.
At DeOliveira’s Framingham District Court arraignment Tuesday, Judge Jennifer Stark released him without bail and ordered him to have no contact with the victim. The woman also obtained a restraining order.
DeOliveira is due back in court Jan. 12 for a pretrial conference.
