PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Pittsfield police arrested 24 year old Peter Campbell and 22 year old Jawuan Loiodice-St. John who are believed to be connected to a July Perrine Avenue home invasion.
 
On July 28, 2021, Pittsfield Police Department patrol officers responded to a residence in Pittsfield for a reported home invasion. A subsequent investigation revealed that two men forced their way into a home with a firearm. 
 
The suspects assaulted a man at the residence and later fled the home. 
 
A firearm was discharged in the residence by one of the suspects during the incident. Minor injuries to one of the victims was reported.
 
Through an investigative effort, to include obtaining and executing multiple search warrants, Pittsfield Police Department Investigators were able to make two arrests.

  • On Aug. 5, 2021 22 year old Jawuan Loiodice-St. John was arrested on a warrant, charging him with Home Invasion (while armed and masked). 
 
Additional charges against both men may be forthcoming. Both men are residents of Berkshire County.
 
"This is a great example of the police work being done on a daily basis by the Pittsfield Police Department," Chief Michael Wynn said. "I would like to thank the victims in the case, as well as other members of the community, for their assistance and perseverance in this case."
 
The investigation into this incident is on-going and being conducted by members of the Pittsfield Police Department Detective Bureau, with assistance from members of the Berkshire County Sherriff's Department and Massachusetts State Police. Anyone who wishes to provide information regarding this incident is asked to contact the lead investigator, Detective Diane Bassett, at 413-448-9700 x529.

Tickets On Sale for Berkshire Flyer

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Amtrak, in conjunction with the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) and New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT), announced tickets are now on sale for the Berkshire Flyer.
 
The Berkshire Flyer is a seasonal summer passenger rail service that operates between New York City from Moynihan Train Hall and Pittsfield. The service, which began as a successful pilot in 2022, is scheduled to resume on Friday, June 21 through Monday, Sept. 2 for Labor Day weekend. Trains depart New York City Friday nights and return at the end of the weekend, leaving Pittsfield Sunday afternoon.
 
In addition, for the first time this year, the Berkshire Flyer service now includes a train from New York City to Pittsfield on Sunday mornings.
 
"We're thrilled to announce this season's Berkshire Flyer service," said Transportation Secretary and CEO Monica Tibbits-Nutt. "The Berkshire Flyer makes visiting Western Massachusetts on weekends convenient, relaxing, and easy. We are pleased to continue our successful partnership with Amtrak, the New York State Department of Transportation and CSX."
 
The Berkshire Flyer departs from Moynihan Train Hall at 3:16 p.m. on Fridays and arrives at Joseph Scelsi Intermodal Transportation Center in Pittsfield at 7:27 p.m. The train will make all intermediate station stops as the scheduled Amtrak Empire Service train does in New York State on Fridays, which include Yonkers, Croton-Harmon, Poughkeepsie, Rhinecliff, Hudson, and Albany-Rensselaer Station. 
 
The Sunday return trip, making all the same station stops, will depart Pittsfield at 3:35 p.m. and arrive in New York at 7:55 p.m. The new Sunday Berkshire Flyer train from New York City to Pittsfield will depart Moynihan Train Hall at 10:50 a.m. and arrive in Pittsfield at 3:15 p.m.
 
The Berkshire Flyer is building upon two successful seasons where some of the Pittsfield-bound trains were sold out well in advance. Based on that experience, passengers planning a trip are encouraged to purchase tickets early by visiting Amtrak.com, the Amtrak app or by calling 1-800-USA-RAIL.
