- Jeffrey Brian Dutton, 49, of Northfield, was arrested at 12:29 p.m. on June 21, and charged with criminal threatening (intimidation, etc.), attempt to commit simple assault, reckless operation, and disorderly conduct. While working a detail on Manchester Street near Black Hill and I-93, an officer allegedly heard a car honking its horn and revving its engine approaching the detail scene. The officer alleged that one of the vehicles, a 2008 Hyundai Veracruz, was failing to merge as the safety signs requested to a 2012 Dodge Caravan National Guard van. The officer alleged that the Hyundai “was making abrupt, aggressive, and deliberate movements” towards the other vehicle, “in a reckless manner.” The officer stated, “It appeared that Dutton was attempting to cause a collision with” the other vehicle, at different rates of speed, close to the other vehicle, in “an erratic manner.” The officer left the detail scene to make a motor vehicle stop, eventually catching up to Dutton at the Enterprise Rent-a-Car on Manchester Street. Dutton “appeared angry and agitated and was shaking his head” as he went into the business, according to the officer. As the officer approached, Dutton reportedly stated that he was about to call police because he was so upset about what had happened on the road previously. Dutton allegedly was cursing, and unable to calm down and speak to the officer, who alleged that he “was becoming increasingly unpredictable and agitated.” Dutton alleged that the other van was racing him after both vehicles stopped on the I-93 South off-ramp. The officer explained to Dutton that he observed him driving recklessly and requested a license and registration Dutton allegedly became belligerent but later, gave the officer his information, while continuing to pace around the officer. Dutton allegedly complained that the officer “was on a power trip” and should be talking to the other driver. Later, the officer alleged that Dutton began to approach him with clenched fists while ignoring requests to stop back. Dutton allegedly raised his right hand as if to strike the officer and the officer pushed back “to prevent Dutton from assaulting me.” Dutton was later placed in custody. Another officer arrived and so did the driver of the other vehicle, who stopped at the Enterprise Rent-a-Car when he saw the officer speaking with Dutton. While traveling off the highway, the other man stated that two other vehicles in front of him accelerated and merged and a third vehicle, Dutton’s, attempted to accelerate into his lane. Dutton, he alleged, began sounding his horn and cursing at him through the window, the other man alleged, “swerving his wheel several times” towards the other vehicle. Dutton was later charged and released on $4,000 personal recognizance bail. He’s due in court on July 29.

Upon arrival, an officer spoke with Forward who alleged that his wife had been drinking. She was nagging him, he reportedly told the officer, so he dumped out her beer. Forward denied physical contact with his wife. The officer then spoke to the woman who reportedly stated the two were arguing about money and Forward allegedly pulled the beer drawer from the refrigerator and began dumping the beer. “I saw the plastic drawer on the counter that looked like a drawer from a refrigerator,” the officer reported. “The plastic was broken and did not appear functional as a drawer anymore.” Two other witnesses confirmed the woman’s story.

The theft reportedly involved three pairs of Carhartt shorts valued at $114. According to an affidavit, loss prevention employees alleged that Kenyon walked into a fitting room with three pairs of shorts but only returned with two that he later put back on a display. Kenyon allegedly left the store through the mall entrance. The loss prevention employees tried to approach Kenyon but he allegedly fled the scene towards the Starbucks on Loudon Road, leaving his bike and other property behind, according to the report. In the affidavit, the officer watched the surveillance video and reportedly confirmed the loss prevention employee’s allegations. Kenyon, however, denied knowledge of the theft or warrant.
