Gloucester Police/Fire: Woman treated at Becker Lane fire

A woman was treated at the scene by Gloucester Fire Department crews following a small kitchen fire on Becker Lane.

The Fire Department responded to the scene shortly before 4 p.m., and initial responders reported "smoke showing" from the house. But firefighters found that the blaze was caused by food cooking on the stove, and confined the blaze to the stove while rescuers helped the woman from the house.

Police arrested Eric Oliveria, 28, of 36 Mansfield St. in Gloucester on charges of failure to display a front license plate and driving with a suspended license.

According to the police report, an officer on traffic detail noticed Oliveria drive by on Sayward Street in a car without a front license plate. The officer flagged him down, and asked for his license and registration. Oliveria said he didn't have a license, and was arrested. Tally's towed the vehicle from the scene.

A man called police to report that a sedan had cut him off and run him into the curb on Old Salem Road on Tuesday at 8:44 p.m. He sustained no injuries, but dented a hubcap on the car.

Someone dropped a credit card off at the police station at midnight Tuesday. Officers called to deactivate the card and the card company said it would notify the owner.

Officers responded to an alarm at 321 Washington St. at 2:18 a.m. Tuesday, but found the alarm had simply malfunctioned.

Paramedics transported a man with stomach pain from 32 Pine St. to Addison Gilbert Hospital on Tuesday at 6:41 p.m.

An alarm at the National Fish and Seafood Company on Parker Street drew police response Tuesday at 3:15 p.m. Officers checked the outside of the building and found doors and windows secure, but could not reach anyone with a key to the building.

Paramedics transported woman with back pain to the hospital from the intersection of Magnolia and Essex avenues Tuesday at 5:15 p.m.
