A Kiss Turns Into a Bite at The Friendly Kitchen

A local woman is facing charges of assault and trespassing after two different incidents in the North End of the city.

Samantha Tatro, 35, of Gilmanton, was arrested at 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 1, on a simple assault (personal weapons) charge.

Officers were called to The Friendly Kitchen for a report involving an allegation that Tatro bit another person on the lip. There was also a previous warrant out against her for assaulting another person earlier in the day, according to the arrest report.

When the officer arrived, the man who was bitten spoke about the incident. He alleged that Tatro was sitting on his lap and stated that she loved him. But when she went to kiss him on the mouth, she allegedly bit him. Tatro then fled the area, heading southbound on the railroad tracks.

The officer caught up to her about 30 feet away and arrested her. She was released on $5,000 personal recognizance bail and is due in court on Dec. 9.

The previous day, on Oct. 31, Tatro received a summons from Concord Police around 1:30 p.m. in the afternoon, for allegedly trespassing underneath the I-393 bridge on private property. Tatro, along with three others, two who were arrested, were waiting for The Friendly Kitchen to open up, according to the report. Tatro, according to police, was warned not to be on the property previously back in July.
