At around 2 a.m., an officer observed a vehicle lose control on the Daniel Webster Highway, according to a report, and end up in a snow bank. The first officer made contact with the driver – Amaro – who allegedly showed signs of impairment. After a roadside field sobriety test, he was arrested.

While other officers were helping out at the scene, Caraballo arrived to assist Amaro and was taken in to protective custody due to her “condition,” according to Sgt. Eric Marquis of the Merrimack Police Department.

“As officers were attempting to secure Caraballo, she assaulted one of the officers and was subsequently placed under arrest for simple assault,” Marquis alleged.

Both Amaro and Caraballo were released on personal recognizance bail. He’s due in court on Jan. 21; she’s due in court on Feb. 18.

According to online reports, Amaro has been arrested a number of times, including for robbery, theft, and operating without a valid license twice. In July 2013, Caraballo was arrested in Nashua for assault.
