## Resource

A brave 19-year veteran officer, Peter Ginnetty, was critically injured while directing traffic near the Cape Cod Melody Tent after being struck by a drunk driver with a BAC of .22—nearly triple the legal limit. The driver, Robert Brando-Hunt, faces serious charges including OUI causing serious injury. Despite severe fractures and leg trauma, Officer Ginnetty remains positive and is receiving strong community support as he begins a long recovery. The incident occurred post-ZZ Top concert, with Ginnetty in full gear guiding pedestrians—proof of his dedication amid tragedy.
