Tiverton Police: Restraining Orders, False Names and Fighting in Public

A local couple with active no contact orders against each other received obstruction charges from Tiverton police after they allegedly provided false names during questioning.

Nicholas Walker, 23, of 57 Walnut St., Tiverton, was arrested at 3:36 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 15. He was charged with violation of a no contact order, obstructing a police officer and operating a motor vehicle with a suspended license.

Cristen Delgizzo, 32, of 57 Walnut St., Apt. 2, Tiverton, was arrested at 4:14 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 15. She was charged with obstructing a police officer.

Lt. Patrick Jones said Walker reportedly came into the police station to speak with a detective about a matter and police soon learned Walker drove there on a suspended license. Jones said Walker was taken into custody and questioned him because he had a woman in the car. Jones said Walker provided a false name because the woman, later identified as Delgizzo, is his girlfriend with whom he has a no contact order against.

Jones said police questioned Delgizzo, who reportedly gave a false name, too, with the same date of birth as the false name allegedly provided by Walker.

Through an investigation, Jones said police identified Delgizzo, who had reportedly had a no contact order against Walker, too.

Men reportedly fighting in public

Joseph Neronha, 40, of 576 East Road, Apt. R, Tiverton, and Daniel Langlais, 42, of 54 Old Stone Church Road, Little Compton, were both arrested at 5:05 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 15. They were charged with disorderly conduct.

Jones said police responded to Neronha's residence on East Road for a report of a fight in progress. The caller stated a knife was "possibly involved." Officers arrived and saw two men standing in the driveway yelling and swearing at one another.

"They determined no knife was involved, but clearly two men were fighting," Jones said.

He said one officer had to prevent one of the men from going after the other. Jones said police learned the fight erupted over a disagreement, and both men declined to press assault charges against each other.
