Sunken ship found during search for missing fishing vessel off Cape Cod
Crews searching off Cape Cod for a missing fishing vessel two days overdue have located a sunken vessel.
A boater contacted Brewster Fire and Rescue just before 2:00 p.m. to report a sunken ship around two miles north of the Brewster shoreline, Brewster police chief Heath Eldredge said.
Members of Massachusetts State Police and Massachusetts Environmental Police arrived at the location of the sunken ship and took control of the investigation.
The F/V Seahorse was last known to be fishing near the Target Ship Wreck near Eastham and was due back in port on Sunday.
The Coast Guard said a cell phone ping last placed the ship two miles offshore of Chatham.
The vessel is captained by Shawn Arsenault and Orleans police said two people are believed to have been on board at the time the vessel departed.
More information will be provided by the Cape Cod and Islands District Attorney's Office.

Guatemalan national indicted after federal agent seriously injured in Rhode Island, US Attorney says
A federal grand jury has indicted a Guatemalan national after a Homeland Security agent suffered a serious injury while trying to arrest him on a warrant in April, the U.S. Attorney said. Miguel Tamup-Tamup, a/k/a Miguel US Tamup, 28, who was previously deported and is in the U.S. illegally, is charged with two counts of assaulting, resisting, opposing, impeding, or interfering with federal officers engaged in official duties, Acting U.S. Attorney Sara Miron Bloom said in a statement on Thursday. Federal authorities arrested Tamup-Tamup on May 16 at a home in Providence. He has been detained since making an initial appearance in federal court on that day. On April 30, a Homeland Security Investigations agent suffered a serious leg injury during an encounter with Tamup-Tamup, who fled authorities that day after he was previously arrested after a DUI crash, Miron Bloom said. On April 19, police arrested Tamup-Tamup for driving under the influence after his car allegedly collided with another vehicle, prosecutors said. He was subsequently arraigned and released. His fingerprints matched ICE fingerprint records associated with a person flagged as being in the United States illegally. On April 30, an ICE deportation officer and Homeland Security Investigations agents stopped a car that Tamup-Tamup was driving, Miron Bloom said. They tried to apprehend him on an arrest warrant. After he refused to get out of his car, Tamup-Tamup was guided out of the vehicle, prosecutors said. While the agents tried to place Tamup-Tamup in handcuffs, he 'allegedly resisted, threw his upper body and shoulders against the agents, flailed his arms, and broke an agent's hold,' Miron Bloom said. One of the agents fell to the ground and suffered a serious leg injury, Miron Bloom said. Tamup-Tamup ran away from law enforcement as others were helping the injured agent. The agent's condition was not known on Thursday. This is a developing story. Check back for updates as more information becomes available.
