Kingston MA- Police have taken a 25 year old man into Custody for allegedly enticing minors. Jeff Waugh, or JDMBugeye2002 as he is sometimes known on the web was arrested early in the morning of April 27th for 2 counts of Lewd Conduct with a minor, both felonies.
Thomas Nichols, an officer of 22 years for the Kingston Police Department made the arrest. “He’s the entire reason I became a cop in the first place… This has been a really big win for KPD and the Kingston community as a whole” said Nichols when asked by Channel 23 News.
Police went to a house on 1st street to serve an unrelated warrant. Upon their arrival they found Waugh, 3 unidentified adult accomplices and 3 unidentified minors. “It was pretty obvious what they were doing… You could smell the marijuana upon arrival. They reeked of booze and were playing what I would consider Party music”
Police became aware of Waugh back in Fall 2016 when they received multiple tips and concerns about a group of men riding snowmobiles and drinking near Camp Lincoln. “Concerned parents and residents of the community were upset because of the slew of profanities and the cloud of smoke they would walk their children through whenever they passed the house” said Craig Lesage, another officer who has made contact numerous times with the alleged defendant. “We quickly realized these weren’t just teenagers but also adults who have been a nuisance of our community”
Waugh is currently being held without bail in the Rochester Country Correctional Facility until his arraignment on May 1st
