DURHAM, NH — Eleven University of New Hampshire students as well as three others have been charged by the Durham Police Department with felony criminal mischief charges after the Feb. 5, 2017, after alleged vandalism and other incidents after the New England Patriots won the Super Bowl earlier this month, according to a post on Fosters.com.

According to police, Michael DeAngelis, 20, of Trumbull has been charged.

From New Hampshire, Tyler Young, 22, of Epping, Shaan DeJong, 19, of Hooksett, Malik Carter, 18, of Sandwich, all of New Hampshire, were all charged.

From Massachusetts, Garrett Colantino, 22, of Reading, Michael Barbieri, 19, of Newton, Kaitlin Goulart, 18, of Falmouth, Elizabeth Connolly, 19, of Dorchester, Cheyenne Collins, 19, of Taunton, were also charged.

Jean Douglas, 19 of Canandaigua, NY, another UNH student was also charged.

After the incredible come-from-behind win by the Patriots, thousands of people took to the streets to celebrate in Durham. Most of the celebrating was peaceful. However, a number of vehicles, including one owned by a journalist, were damaged.

Police later released pictures and video clips gathered posted on social media of the alleged rioters, in some cases, recording their own crimes, while posing for selfies. Police requested tips from the public of the revelers two days after the alleged vandalism incidents, in an effort to issue charges against them.

On Facebook this afternoon, police issued a statement thanking everyone for their help and asking for more information about others allegedly involved in the incidents.

“We appreciate all of the tips and shares of our pictures and videos from the post-Superbowl incident,” the note stated. "Durham Police was able to identify nearly all of those who damaged property that night, but are still looking to identify those standing atop this vehicle.”

Call Durham Police at 603-868-2324 if you can identify the people in the video.
