Two parties had told police that Bartini's silver-blue Chevrolet Silverado pick-up truck "almost struck their vehicles from behind and swerved around their vehicles at a high rate of speed," according to a report prepared by Trooper Paul E. Savage, the arresting officer.
"These were significant arrests involving individuals who are known to police and who are active in drugs and are willing to steal from hard-working victims to finance their habits."

Eloisa Garcia-Gaspar was charged with disorderly conduct, obstruction of justice, and interfering with a police officer, all for passing a false note, lying in an investigation, and causing a disturbance.
“This is most serious one I’ve been involved with over the years. It’s a real concern. Obstruction of justice, tampering with evidence, lying to police — I’ve never encountered that before.”
-- Great Barrington Police Chief William Walsh
