Man Arrested Again In Concord On Stalking Charge: Affidavit

CONCORD, NH — A man arrested earlier this year on stalking charges has been arrested again, accused of stalking, driving after suspension, and a warrant, according to a court affidavit. Around 5 p.m. on Oct. 30, officers were sent to the North End after receiving a tip that a man, with an active warrant, was seen driving in the area inside a pickup truck, possibly intoxicated. The officers later were directed to Prospect Street where the pickup was parked in the driveway of a home.

Dispatch, while the officers were heading to the home, confirmed the warrant and that the driver, Domenic Palomba, 42, of County Farm Road in Dover or Liberty Street in Concord, had a suspended license. Palomba, the officer wrote, was wanted in Keene District Court from Sept. 12 for an unpaid fine. His license was suspended in Keene District Court in September 2017.

The reporting officer appeared at the home and saw the pickup truck parked in the driveway, with a man sleeping inside.

"Palomba woke up as I approached the vehicle," she wrote. "He then turned the key in the ignition to roll his window down to speak to me."

After being asked for his license and registration, Palomba reportedly admitted he didn't have a license and confirmed it was suspended, according to the report. He was then arrested.

During processing, the reporting officer noted Palomba was upset and allegedly stated that he had driven from Dover to Claremont and back to Concord for a custody visit with a child.

The second officer stayed at the scene to speak with a Division of Children, Youth, and Families worker, who had an appointment with Palomba and a woman in Claremont. The woman, however, didn't show up for the appointment, so the worker met with her in Concord.

While meeting with woman, Palomba reportedly showed up at the home. The woman stated she didn't feel threatened by Palomba but accused him of "stalking her because he continuously called her and appeared at her residence after being told she did not wish to speak with him and that she did not want him at her residence," the report stated.

The officer noted, from at least three prior calls and offense reports, that Palomba was told "numerous times" not to show up at the woman's home. The woman showed him a series of calls and voicemails on her cellphone purported to be from Palomba. While walking with the DCYF worker earlier, the woman accused Palomba of peeking around the northwest corner of the building before retreating to another side of the building.

"(The woman) said she screamed that she was going to call the police and that he needed to leave," the officer reported.

The woman accused Palomba of entering his pickup truck, leaving the area, but then returning again before police were called. She added that there was a court order against him being at her home.

The second officer headed to police headquarters, made contact with Palomba, and informed him that he would be charged with stalking and held without bail. He was arraigned Oct. 31, 2019.

Palomba is no stranger to police in New Hampshire or Vermont.

In May of this year, he was arrested by Hinsdale police on a willful concealment charge, according to the Brattleboro Reformer website. At the time, Brattleboro, VT, was listed as his address. In March, he was arrested twice in Concord, within five hours, on domestic violence-stalking and other charges.

In June 2017, he was cited by New Hampshire State Police for driving after suspension while on Route 9, the Manchester Journal, a Vermont newspaper, stated online.

In February 2015, Palomba was arrested in Brattleboro on second-degree aggravated domestic assault and criminal contempt charges. Police accused him of assaulting a person for a second time while out on bail due to a prior incident, according to the Keene Sentinel.
