Beverly Woman Held After Smashing Glass At Police Station

BEVERLY, MA -- Police arrested a 23-year-old woman Sunday after she smashed an aluminum baseball bat against windows in the Beverly Police station and demanded police release her boyfriend. Alicia Morasse, 23, of 327 Rantoul Street, Apt. 5 in Beverly, was charged with malicious destruction of property; disorderly conduct; assault by means of a dangerous weapon; intimidating a witness; and property damage to intimidate. She was ordered to undergo a 20-day mental health evaluation Monday and will be back in court for a competency hearing on Jan. 18.

Police had arrested Morasse's boyfriend, Kenel R. Cadet, 22, of Lynn, on domestic violence charges on Sunday. Morasse, the victim in that incident, was taken to Beverly Hospital for a mental health evaluation. After she was discharged from the hospital, she went to the police station.

Cadet was being held on $25,000 bail because of unrelated charges. Morasse, who was wearing a black hood and black fingerless gloves when she came into the station's lobby around 5:15 pm, use a "loud, aggressive voice." When she was told she would have to leave, she said "You are going to have to [expletive deleted] make me," according to a police report.

Morasse then began smashing the window with an aluminum baseball bat. She dropped the bat when ordered to do so by officers who drew stun guns.

The police report from the earlier, domestic assault incident said that Morasse was sent to Beverly Hospital because she suffers from "multiple issues including but not limited to schizophrenia." Morasse told police that Cadet had pulled her hair during an altercation and that she was in fear of him. She also told police that she wanted to speak with a mental health counselor.
