Police were sent to Walmart on North Broadway where a loss prevention employee was reporting that a suspect that hit Kohl’s just fled the store, allegedly with several items, according to police. The suspect reportedly fled in a gray Ford Focus. Police later stopped the vehicle on I-93 near Exit 1 southbound and Damato was arrested. He was held on $620 cash bail.

Damato, according to Portsmouth Police, was arrested in that community back in June on three counts of issuing bad checks.
