Man Accused Of Coercing Witness To Lie About Crime: Nashua Police

NASHUA, NH — A man was arrested Thursday on numerous charges after a two-month investigation into an incident at a Nashua home back in January, according to police. Back on Jan. 12, officers were sent to a Gate City residence for a report of damage in the home. An arrest warrant was issued against Michael Cabot, 33, on four counts of criminal mischief, noted Lt. Robert Page of the special investigations division of the Nashua Police Department.

About five months later, investigators received information that Cabot "contacted a witness of a crime he had committed and was attempting to coerce them to lie for him," Page said.

"Members of the domestic violence unit furthered the investigation and obtained an arrest warrant for Cabot charging him with the crime of tampering with witnesses or informants, Class B Felony," Page added.

Thursday, police caught up with Cabot, and he was arrested on warrants for felony tampering with witnesses and informants, four count of criminal mischief, and three electronic bench warrants for nonappearance in court. He was held on $1,200 cash bail and was scheduled to be arraigned Friday.
