DOUGLAS — On Sunday, March 1, 2026, at approximately 4:39 p.m., Officer D’Vonte Peters of the Douglas Police Department was in a stationary position on Main Street monitoring traffic when he observed a red 2008 Honda Fit with Massachusetts plates heading west.

“I then took the time to conduct a CJIS [Criminal Justice Information Services] web query of the vehicle’s registration,” Officer Peters said.
Officer Peters said he received a response from CJIS indicating that the vehicle’s registration status was revoked for lack of insurance. CJIS also revealed that the registered owner of the vehicle, Wayne Boisvert, had a suspended driver’s license.
“Moments later, I followed the vehicle in an attempt to conduct a motor vehicle stop. The Honda made a right-hand turn onto Mechanic Street,” Officer Peters said. “As I made the right hand turn onto Mechanic Street, the vehicle was not insight.”
As Officer Peters continued down Mechanic Street, he looked to his left and saw a red Honda parked in the rear section of the UniBank parking lot.
“As I approached the Honda in my cruiser, I was met by one of the passengers who was walking away from the vehicle. That passenger was later identified as Gary [last name redacted],” Officer Peters said. “Gary was a white male, approximately 50 years old, wearing blue jeans and a vest. Gary then stated he received a ride from the operator of the Honda to meet up with a friend.”
Officer Peters said Gary then continued to walk out of the parking lot onto Mechanic Street.
“I then pulled behind the Honda and initiated my emergency blue lights to conduct a motor vehicle stop,” Officer Peters said.
Officer Peters said he then approached the vehicle on the driver’s side, requested the operator’s license and registration, and made him aware of the reason for the stop.
“The operator handed me a Massachusetts driver’s license and the vehicle’s registration,” Officer Peters said. “The operator was identified as Wayne Boisvert.”
According to police, Wayne L. Boisvert, 41, is a resident of Charlton, MA.
After obtaining Boisvert’s license and registration information, Officer Peters contacted Douglas Police Department dispatch, relayed the pertinent information, and dispatch confirmed that, as of Dec. 25, 2025, the vehicle’s registration had been revoked for lack of insurance.
“Douglas Police Department dispatch also confirmed Boisvert is the owner of the vehicle, and that his driver’s license was suspended,” Officer Peters said. Adding, “Boisvert was suspended for failure to pay child support and failure to pay fines and cost.”
Officer Peters said that, after questioning, Boisvert confirmed that Gary was a rear passenger in his vehicle.
“Boisvert stated that he drove Gary to acquire crack cocaine from a friend’s house in the area,” Officer Peters said. “At this time, Boisvert stated he did not know where Gary’s friend’s house was located but that he was returning.”
Officer Peters said that during an inventory search of Boisvert’s vehicle, he located black metallic knuckles, which are a per se dangerous weapon, in the pocket of the driver’s side door.
“Prior to the inventory search, Boisvert admitted to owning the black metallic knuckles in the vehicle,” Officer Peters said. “Boisvert’s vehicle was towed from the scene by J.D. Bousquet & Sons.”
Wayne Boisvert, 41, of Charlton, was issued a Massachusetts Uniform Citation in hand, and charged with the following:
- Carrying a Dangerous Weapon
- Uninsured Motor Vehicle
- Operating Motor Vehicle with Registration Suspended
- Operating Motor Vehicle with License Suspended
Boisvert’s arraignment was scheduled for April 17, 2026, in Uxbridge District Court.
