Loud Party Leads to Resisting Arrest Charge

A local man with a previous arrest history was charged with resisting arrest yesterday morning at a local party, according to police.

Cameron Garofalo, 21, of Amherst Street in Nashua, was taken into protective custody after Merrimack Police were sent to a local residence for a noise complaint around 12:30 a.m. on May 25, 2015.

“While investigating the complaint one of the attendees became unruly and when he was being placed into protective custody he resisted detention by pulling away from an officer,” according Mptl. Stephen Wallin of the Merrimack Police Department.

After that, Garofalo was taken in as a full custody arrest and charged with resisting or detention. He was transported to headquarters, process, and released on $1,500 personal recognizance bail. Garofalo is due in court on June 2.

According to online reports, this isn’t the first time Garofalo has been arrested for resisting.

Last month, according to the online Nashua Police log, he was arrested on two counts of resisting. Last year at this time, he and another Nashua man were arrested for possession after being arrested after a motor vehicle stop, according to a post on Merrimack Patch.
