The following information was supplied by the Concord Police Department. It does not indicate a conviction.
- Shelby Weston, 47, a homeless man located in Concord, was arrested at 7:45 p.m. on July 5, and charged with criminal trespass and default or breach of bail conditions.
- Thomas Bruce Heckel, 49, a homeless man located in Concord, was arrested at 7:50 p.m. on July 5, on criminal trespass charge. Officers on bike patrol behind the New Hampshire State Liquor Store on Storrs Street came across Weston and others sitting near the railroad tracks. Weston had been warned to stay off the property on May 7. All the individuals were told they were trespassing and, according to the report, all but Weston left the area. Instead, Weston allegedly walked away from the area along the railroad tracks. He was arrested and held without bail and arraigned on July 8. Other officers found Heckel reportedly passed out near the liquor warehouse, between two iron rails of the train tracks. Heckel too had reportedly been previously warned to stay out of the area. He reportedly refused treatment by Concord Fire and Rescue teams and was taken into custody and charged. Heckel refused bail and was arraigned on July 8.
- Joshua Israel Abbott, 19, of Concord, was arrested at 11:56 p.m. on July 19, and charged with simple assault (personal weapons), disorderly conduct, unlawful possession of alcohol, and resisting arrest or detention. Officers were called to the Hess station on North Main Street for a man who was either high or drunk, who reportedly urinated in front of some customers at the station. Upon arrival, the officers located the man on Washington Street who was “acting belligerent,” “appeared to have vomited on himself,” and was later, laying in the street. The officers attempted to ID the man as well as find someone who could assist him, but the man allegedly was “speaking gibberish, refusing to cooperate.” During the interaction, the man reportedly told officers he was 19, so he was taken into custody on the alcohol charge. Later, the man refused to comply with the custody processing and was offering “passive resistance” while being taken into custody. Later, the man was taken to the Merrimack House of Corrections to sober up. However, in an elevator, the man reportedly wouldn’t stay in position and an officer forced him back into a corner that caused the man to get a bump on the mouth. He was taken to Concord Hospital to be treated but was still uncooperative, according to officers. The man was later identified as Abbott, something that was confirmed from a previous arrest. He was later released on $5,000 personal recognizance bail and is due in court on Aug. 26.
- Roy J. Aikens, 50, of Concord, was arrested at 8 p.m. on July 21, on a criminal trespass charge. An officer was sent to Merrimack County House of Corrections to arrest Aikens on the charge that stems from an alleged incident at around 7 p.m. on June 23, at the Domino’s Pizza on North Main Street. According to a court affidavit, Aikens was allegedly “harassing customers and threatening drivers.” A no trespass order had been issued to Aikens on June 13, according to the report. Officers caught up with Aikens at the intersection of Loudon Road and Main Street. When asked if he was at Domino’s, Aikens allegedly admitted he was there panhandling. He reportedly said he asked one person for money and when they said “no,” he told them to have a good night. When asked if he had been served a no trespass order, Aikens allegedly denied he had, later saying that the no trespass order he knew about was from Market Basket. The officer went back to Domino’s and gathered video surveillance from the store as evidence and spoke with employees who alleged that he was harassing the store’s customers. Aikens was later arrested arraigned on July 22.
- Patrick Anthony Rerrie, 35, of Concord, was arrested at 8:19 p.m. on July 22, and charged with resisting arrest or detention and a bench warrant. While on School Street near North Main, an officer reportedly saw Rerrie walking with his fiancée. The officer thought Rerrie had a warrant and later, confirmed that with dispatch, for nonappearance in court on a DWI charge. The officer turned the cruiser around and caught up with Rerrie in Bicentennial Square. The officer requested that Rerrie stop but he allegedly took off. The officer chased Rerrie towards Warren Street when another officer arrived. Rerrie then surrendered to police. He was processed and later, questioned by an officer about another incident, and released on $3,000 personal recognizance bail. Rerrie is due in court on Aug. 26.
- Matthew Walter Howell, 31, of Canterbury, was arrested at 10:10 a.m. on July 24, on a public disposal of human waste charge. An officer was called to Beacon Street for a report of a man urinating in the bushes. A property owner stated that while pulling out of his driveway, he saw a man walking on the sidewalk. He waited for the man to cross behind him before pulling out. After pulling out, the man alleged that Howell was peeing in the bushes in front of his house. The man got out of his vehicle and confronted Howell who alleged zipped his pants and apologized. Howell then allegedly picked up a can of beer off the ground and walked away. A bulletin was put out for the man and other officers found him outside the Checkmate Pizza on Washington Street. Howell allegedly “appeared to be heavily intoxicated and smelled of an alcoholic beverage when he spoke,” an officer reported. Howell reportedly said he had just come from an art class at Kimball Jenkins and had a couple of beers earlier. Howell, at first, allegedly denied urinating on anyone’s property but later, allegedly said, “I had to go. What’s better, peeing in a bush or peeing in your pants?” He allegedly then admitted to urinating in the bushes on Beacon Street. The property owner was then brought to the scene and positively ID’d Howell as the man who pee’d in the bushes. Howell was arrested and later, released on $500 personal recognizance bail. He’s due in court on Aug. 26.
