Concord Police Log: Early Morning EBT Card Problem Leads to Charges

Crystal Ellison (pictured), 33, of Rumford Street in Concord, was arrested at 1:57 a.m. on Sept. 7, for criminal trespass and disorderly conduct charges. Officers were sent to the Cumberland Farms on North Main Street for a report of a woman who refused to leave the store. The officers approached the woman, later identified as Ellison, who allegedly “began ranting about how she was hungry, poor, and ‘pissed off.’” Ellison was reportedly having a problem with her EBT card and needed money for food. While officers tried to calm her down, she reportedly continued to scream and swear in the store. When warned repeatedly to lower her voice, she allegedly ignored officers, continuing to scream that she was hungry. She also kept putting her hands in her pockets and officers asked her to refrain from doing so. When she reportedly didn’t listen, she was cuffed. After being taken into custody, “her behavior drastically changed and she was completely calm,” the officer reported. Ellison later apologized for her behavior, blaming it on being hungry, while reportedly laughing nervously.

Officers were sent to an apartment on Bog Road for a domestic disturbance where the alleged assaulter, Shupe, had already left. The woman alleged that the two had an argument after he returned home from work. Shupe “started screaming in her face” and she said she would leave. He allegedly stated, No, and that something bad would happen if she did leave. Shupe then allegedly head-butted and punched a bedroom door and punched a bathroom wall and began calling her names and shoved her against a wall while grabbing her arms. He reportedly started apologizing, begging her not to leave, and asked for another chance, she said. When she said No, “Shupe pushed his head against her head and told her she couldn’t leave,” the report stated. She said she was calling police and then Shupe called his dad instead. When he arrived, he told Shupe to sit down but he allegedly started yelling again. Later, the two of them left. Officers later caught up with Shupe on Spruce Street and he was arrested.
