A Raynham man is facing charges after a crash into a pro-Trump store in Massachusetts.
According to Deputy Chief Keith Boone, at approximately 5:10pm on Thursday June 16, 2022, Easton Police Officers were dispatched to 620 Washington Street (Route 138) for a reported vehicle crash into a building.
Upon arrival, Officers discovered that a 2015 Volkswagen Jetta had crashed into the New England for Trump store located at the west end of the building.
The vehicle was operated by 46-year-old Sean Flaherty, of Raynham, MA, who was later transported to Good Samaritan Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries. One employee who had been in the store at the time, was not injured during the crash.
At this time Flaherty has been charged reckless operation of a motor vehicle and malicious destruction of property. Additional charges may follow, according to police.
A request was also made to the Registry of Motor Vehicles to revoke Flaherty’s license as an immediate threat.
The crash was investigated by Officer Chris Aker.
