Police chase allegedly topping 130 mph on Interstate 195 leads to arrest on multiple charges
A vehicle stop by police and a high-speed pursuit that topped over 100 mph, led to the arrest of a repeat offender on multiple charges.
According to police, just before 2:00 a.m. this morning, a Wareham Sergeant conducted a motor vehicle stop with a white Chevrolet Camaro on Main Street. The Camaro fled as the Sergeant was approaching the vehicle and took off at a high rate of speed.
The Camaro led officers onto Interstate 195 westbound and hit estimated speeds of 130 mph. For safety concerns the pursuit was terminated. Shortly after the pursuit was terminated, a Rochester officer spotted the Camaro on Route 105 in Marion, MA as it was getting onto Interstate 195 eastbound heading back towards Wareham.
Wareham officers were able to successfully deploy “Stop Sticks” (tire deflation devices) as the Camaro entered Wareham on Interstate 195 eastbound. Even after several deflated tires, the Camaro continued onto Interstate 495 northbound, where it lost one of its tires and rims before finally coming to a stop and safely ending the pursuit.
The operator, 35-year-old Peter Rezendes IV of Onset, was placed into custody without incident.
Officers located in the vehicle was a large amount of money, and a quantity of suspect Fentanyl.
Rezendes IV was charged with; Failure to Stop for Police, Operating after Suspension subsequent offense, Plate Violation, Marked Lanes, Operating to Endanger, and Possession with intent to distribute Class A (Fentanyl) subsequent offense.
Rezendes IV, will be arraigned at Wareham District Court Monday morning.

Ken Moron assured us that the ” government ” protects us. “Rezendes IV, has a lengthy criminal history ” Of course he does and the Massachusetts legal system is a complete joke the judges are terrible and the policy makers are just as bad.

“[…]the Camaro continued onto Interstate 495 northbound, where it lost one of its tires and rims before finally coming to a stop and safely ending the pursuit.”
Hm, this doesn’t sound particularly safe, and I doubt the driver of the Camaro was actually trying to “safely” end the pursuit. He jeopardized the safety of everyone on the roads, including the officers, with his reckless behavior. Don’t ascribe sound judgment to an individual who clearly had zero intentions of doing anything “safely.”
