Two Men Arrested in Mall of NH Bathroom Stall

Two men were arrested on Friday night at the Mall of New Hampshire after allegedly trying to consume drugs in a men’s bathroom stall, according to Manchester Police.

Arrested on March 14, 2015, were Scott Davis, 29, pictured left, of Derry, and Justin Provencher, 27, of Manchester, on possession of a controlled drug charges.

According to a report, a community police officer was working in the area of the mall when he was sent to the men’s bathroom for a report of possible drug activity at around 6 p.m.

The officer reportedly overheard two men inside the handicap stall and knocked on the door while attempting to ask what was going on. Neither men were cooperating, according to the report, so the officer looked over the stall and observed one man sitting on the toilet while the other man stood over him. The man sitting allegedly had a syringe that was full of what looked like heroin. The man standing had one shirtsleeve rolled up and appeared to be ready to shoot up, according to the report.

The officer identified himself and requested that they open the stall door but they reportedly refused. The officer then used force to open the door to keep the men from using the drug.

The man sitting was allegedly Davis who “stood up and immediately placed his hand inside his sweatshirt pocket while the other subject dropped his needle.” The other man, Provencher, allegedly admitted that the needle he possessed was filled with heroin. Another officer arrived and allegedly found a needle in Davis’ sweatshirt pocket.

Both were arrested and put on a 72-hour hold for probation/parole violations, according to the report. Davis had an active warrant from other agencies at the time of the arrest.
