County Sheriff’s Office provisional employee held on bail after man found in a pool of blood on Route 6

Cape & Islands District Attorney Robert J. Galibois announced today that Tatiana Jacobs, 26 years old, of Hyannis, MA, has been charged and arraigned for her involvement in the stabbing of a 33-year-old male, in Harwich MA. 

On Sunday, at approximately 8:15 p.m., Troopers with the MA State Police were dispatched to Route 6 eastbound around mile marker 82 in Harwich for a report of a party that had fallen out of a vehicle. Upon arriving on scene, Troopers observed a male laying on his back with a large pool of reddish-brown substance around him. It was observed that the victim was suffering from multiple injuries to his upper body. The victim was transported by medflight to a Boston area hospital for treatment. 

The initial investigation revealed earlier that same evening, at approximately 7:54 p.m. in the town of Barnstable, officers were dispatched to a reported disturbance of a man and woman fighting in a parking lot. Upon arrival officers spoke to witnesses that reported that the two individuals who were fighting had left the scene. Officers observed a vehicle in the parking lot that had a smashed windshield and all four tires flattened. The tires appeared to have been flattened due to slice or puncture marks in the tires with a sharp object. The vandalized vehicle belongs to the victim found in Harwich. 

Jacobs was arraigned in the Orleans District Court on Monday on the charges of Armed Assault to Murder. She was held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing scheduled for Friday in the Orleans District Court. 

Jacobs is a Barnstable County Sheriff’s Office provisional employee, a cadet in the current Recruit Training Academy, and has been placed on unpaid administrative leave. 

The Cape & Islands District Attorney’s Office reiterates that all defendants are presumed innocent.
