5 Bagged After Tipster Says They Allegedly Entered Closed Biz

MANCHESTER, NH — Five people were arrested in Manchester on criminal trespass charges after allegedly being caught inside a closed business. Arrested on Feb. 27, 2018, were Mesfen Rowell, 29, upper left; Terry Henderson, 34, upper right; Lisa Cotoni, 24, upper middle; Kevin Norling, 52, lower left; and Scott Trudeau, 52, lower right. Police were sent to the Pasha Kabob Store on Chestnut Street after a tipster reportedly witnessed “several individuals entering the closed business through a window,” according to Sgt. Michael Biron of the Manchester Police.

“Arriving officers noted movement within the business and used the PA System to call them out,” he alleged.

Three people came out but two reportedly refused. A K-9 unit was called to the scene, made entry into the store, and located two men on the floor of a back room. Biron noted that they – Norling and Trudeau – were also charged with resisting arrest. Norling was the only one held after police learned that he was out on bail from Manchester District Court on previously undisclosed charges and found to be in violation of bail conditions, according to Biron.
