Concord Police Log: Man Arrested Twice in One Day

CONCORD, NH — Roman R. Cornelius, 26, pictured, of Electric Avenue in Concord, was arrested at 10:31 a.m. on July 24, 2015, and charged with possession of controlled drugs and theft of lost or mislaid property. At 9:43 p.m. on the same day, he was arrested again and charged with default or breach of bail conditions. According to an arrest report and court affidavit, officers on bike patrol on South Main Street reportedly saw Cornelius, who was under supervised care, riding on a bike and checked to see if he was supposed to be riding around downtown. An officer attempted to stop him but he reportedly refused to stop and kept traveling at a slow speed. The officer used his bike to cut him off and grabbed onto his arm to keep him from fleeing. They checked with NCIC and found out that Cornelius was an active missing person. He was detained and asked about the bicycle. “I stole it from somewhere in Concord,” Cornelius allegedly stated. Officers patted him down and allegedly found a marijuana bowl smoking device with marijuana in it. Cornelius reportedly insisted that it was tobacco but offers knew otherwise and he was arrested. He was processed and released, and NCIC was notified that he was no longer missing. About 12 hours later, officers were called to South Main Street near The Draft for a report of a dispute in progress between Cornelius and his caretaker. The officers arrived and didn’t see anything initially and checked the immediate area. They returned to the area and saw Cornelius walking up the driveway of the Waters Funeral Home and stopped him. “In speaking with Roman I could smell and odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from him,” the officer alleged. “I asked Roman if he had been drinking. Roman stated he had not drank today.” Another officer also alleged that he smelled like alcohol but Roman reportedly stated he had not been drinking. Later though, according to the report, he admitted to drinking a couple of Angry Orchards. His bail conditions from earlier in the day, however, required that he not drink, so he was arrested and held on $1,000 cash bail.
