CHRIS HERREN
FORMER NBA BASKETBALL PLAYER / AUTHOR

Chris Herren, a basketball legend from Fall River, Massachusetts, realized his dreams by playing for the Celtics in the NBA, only to lose it all to addiction before rising again with a new dream. Herren’s basketball dreams began as a 6’2” guard at Durfee High School in Fall River, Massachusetts. A member of the Durfee High School team chronicled in Bill Reynold’s book, Fall River Dreams, Herren excelled on the basketball court, becoming one of the top Division 1 prospects in the country. His high school highlights include 2,073 career points, Gatorade New England Player of the Year 1993-1994, Boston Globe Massachusetts Player of the Year 1992-1994, and being a member of the 1994 McDonald’s All American team. Attending Boston College his freshman year, he later transferred to California State University-Fresno to play for legendary coach Jerry Tarkanian. At Fresno State he was named to the All-WAC first team 1996 and 1997 and held school records in both assists and steals.

Herren’s basketball success concealed a darker side, and his dream soon became a nightmare of addiction—first alcohol, then cocaine, and finally heroin. His chaotic and often uncertain college career, plagued by drugs and rehab, led to the NBA; in 1999 he was drafted by the Denver Nuggets in the second round of the NBA Draft as the 33rd pick overall. After a year with the Nuggets, Chris was traded to the Boston Celtics where he suffered a season-ending injury.

Trying to work his way back to the NBA, Herren played overseas until 2003 when he came back to the States. His alcohol and drug use escalated until he was found unconscious with a heroin needle hanging from his arm in the driver’s seat of his car.

After extensive rehabilitation stays, Herren has been drug-free since June 4, 2008 and alcohol-free since August 1, 2008. Herren has refocused his life and dreams to put his sobriety and family above all else.
In June of 2009, he launched a basketball player development company, Hoop Dreams with Chris Herren, Inc. Since the summer of 2009, Herren has trained over 200 basketball players including some of the top basketball prospects in New England. Off the court he continues to share his story with audiences in the hopes of reaching just one person and making a difference in their life.

His memoir written with Bill Reynolds, Basketball Junkie, was released in May 2011; in November 2011 a documentary based on his journey, Unguarded, aired as part of ESPN’s 30 for 30 series.

PRESS RELEASE

Snowmobile Crash

On Friday, March 2, 2012 at approximately 9:28pm, the Pelham Police Department and Fire Department responded to the area of 22 Quail Run Ln. for a report of a snowmobile crash. The status of the male operator’s condition was unknown as it was not clear if he was conscious or breathing. The male subject was still in the roadway at the time of the call.

Upon arrival at the scene, both Pelham Police Officers and the Pelham Fire Department began to give medical aid to the male subject who was in the roadway who was conscious and bleeding from the head. The male subject was later identified as 51 year old Ronald Skinner of Pelham NH. Skinner had sustained extensive head injuries as a result of the crash. Skinner was stabilized and transported to Lowell General Hospital by the Pelham Fire Department for his injuries.

A preliminary accident investigation conducted by the Pelham Police Department revealed that Skinner was operating a 2011 Polaris IQ-LXT snowmobile without a helmet in the area of 22 Quail Run Ln. As Skinner exited the snow covered grass in that area and onto the paved portion of the roadway, he was ejected from the snowmobile and onto the pavement, making contact with his head. The snowmobile did not receive any damage in the event.

The crash is still under investigation at this time. Speed and/or alcohol do not appear to be contributing factors.

Questions may be directed to Lieutenant Gary Fisher at (603) 635-2411

PRESS RELEASE

Pelham Police implement a new Drug Take Back Program

The Pelham Police Department recently acquired a “Drug Drop Off” box from NADDI (The National Association of Drug Diversion Investigators) for the purposes of collecting old, unused or discarded pharmaceutical prescription drugs from citizens.

Many Americans are not aware that medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are increasing at alarming rates, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, many Americans do not know how to properly dispose of their unused medicine, often flushing them down the toilet or throwing them away – both potential safety and health hazards.

Teen prescription drug abuse is a growing problem in the United States. According to The Partnership for a Drug-Free America, 1 in 10 teens has abused cough medication, while 1 in 5 has taken prescription stimulants, pain medications, or tranquilizers to get “high”. Because of their accessibility in the home, prescription drugs are now considered a “Gateway Drug”. More teens have used a prescription drug to get “high” before trying Marijuana or any other drug.

Prescription drug abuse is the Nation’s fastest-growing drug problem, and Drug Drop Off Boxes like this one are an indispensable tool for reducing the threat that the diversion and abuse of these drugs pose to public health in our community.

The drug drop off box was installed in the lobby of the police station for citizens who wish to turn in old, unused or discarded pharmaceutical prescriptions. Citizens may, at any time of day or night, stop in to the police station and place the drugs in the drug drop box. Citizens are not required to speak with an officer when dropping of the drugs. The program is designed for citizens come and go as they please and to remain anonymous if they wish.

Needles, drug paraphernalia and liquids will not be accepted. This program is for pharmaceutical prescription drugs or drug patches that are packaged or in their original containers.

PRESS RELEASE

On February 15, 2012 at approximately 7:24 pm Patrolman Brian Barbato stopped a motor vehicle on Tallant Road for speeding. While speaking to the operator of the vehicle Ptl. Barbato learned that the driver’s, Juan J. Santiago, 91 Linden Street, Lowell, Massachusetts, license was suspended in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Ptl. Barbato then placed Santiago under arrest for Driving after Suspension and Speeding. Once in custody Ptl. Barbato and Ptl. Ronald Page conducted an inventory search of the vehicle prior to the vehicle being towed from the roadway. While conducting the search of the vehicle the officers found a plastic bag containing approximately one hundred (100) off white tablets (pills) on the floor in the back seat of the vehicle.

Officers seized the tablets and secured the vehicle and had it transported back to the station pending a further search.

Once at the station officers were able to identify the tablets as the narcotic drug Endocet; also known by the generic name of “Acetaminophen / Oxycodone.”

Santiago is currently being held at the Pelham Police Station and he will appear before the 10^th Circuit Court – Salem Division later today for arraignment and bail purposes.

Santiago has been charged with the following offenses;

Speeding – Violation

Driving After Suspension – Violation

Transporting Drugs – Class A Misdemeanor

Possession of Drugs – Endocet – Felony

Possession of Drugs w/Intent to Distribute – Felony

The “street” value of these tablets are approximately $10 - $20.00 per tablet ($1,000.00 - $2,000.00).

Roll Over Leads to DWI Arrest

Sat, 21 Jan 2012 23:01:53 GMT

Roll Over Leads to DWI Arrest

On Saturday, January 21, 2012, at approximately 1:02 PM, Sgt. Anne T. Therriault was patrolling the area of Bush Hill Road when she observed a vehicle down an embankment.

The vehicle was a green 1995 Pontiac Grand AM operated by Jeffrey Daigle, age 35, of Pelham, New Hampshire. Preliminary investigation showed that Daigle was traveling eastbound on Bush Hill Road when he lost control of his vehicle causing it to go off the roadway and down a twelve foot embankment. The vehicle was heavily damaged and partially submerged in running water. Daigle was found to be unconscious upon initial contact. Within minutes, Daigle regained consciousness and was able to speak to the officer. The Pelham Fire Department arrived shortly after and Daigle was extracted out of the vehicle.

The icy road conditions and alcohol appear to be the cause of the collision. Daigle was subsequently arrested on scene for Driving While Intoxicated. He has two prior convictions for Driving While Intoxicated in the State of New Hampshire. The first offense was out of the Nashua District Court in 1996 and the second conviction was in 2003 out of the Salem District Court, Salem, New Hampshire.

Daigle was transported to the Southern New Hampshire Regional Medical Center where he was treated and released with minor injuries. He was charged with a first offense Driving While Intoxicated and a second offense of Driving While Intoxicated. Daigle is currently being held at the Pelham Police Department.

Bush Hill Road was shut down for approximately one hour due to the crash. This is the second storm related crash within a week that has caused Bush Hill Road to be shut down for an extended period of time.

If you have additional questions please contact Lt. Gary Fisher (603) 635-2411. Booking photos are available upon request.

National Drug Take Back Day

Wed, 19 Oct 2011 17:46:48 GMT

National Prescription Drug Take Back Day

DEA has scheduled another National Prescription Drug Take Back Day on Saturday, October 29, 2011, from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm at the Pelham Police Department to provide a venue for persons who want to dispose of unwanted and unused prescription drugs.

National Prescription Drug Take Back Day addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. More than seven million Americans currently abuse prescription drugs, according to the 2009 Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s National Survey on Drug Use and Health. Each day, approximately, 2,500 teens use prescription drugs to get high for the first time according to the Partnership for a Drug Free America. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including the home medicine cabinet.

DEA in conjunction with state and local law enforcement agencies throughout the United States conducted National Prescription Drug Take Back Days on Saturday, September 25, 2010 and April 25, 2011. Nearly, 4,000 state and local law enforcement agencies throughout the nation participated in these events, collecting more than 309 tons of pills.

Four days after last fall’s Take-Back Day, Congress passed legislation amending the Controlled Substances Act to allow the DEA to develop a process for people to safely dispose of their prescription drugs. DEA immediately began developing this process after President Obama signed the Safe and Secure Drug Disposal Act of 2010 on October 12. Until that process is complete, however, DEA will continue to hold Take Back Days every six months.

Motorcyclist Seriously Hurt in Accident

On October 10, 2011, at approximately 10:56 AM, members of the Pelham Police Department and the Pelham Fire Department responded to the area of Mammoth Road and Hillside Country Store for a report of a motorcycle crash.

Upon arrival officers observed the driver of the motorcycle lying on the hill in front of Hillside Country Store. The motorcyclist was identified as William Cormier, age 62, Londonderry, New Hampshire. Cormier was operating a 1995 Harley Davidson FLSTC color white and turquoise.

Cormier was conscious and able to tell officers that he was traveling southbound on Mammoth Road. He stated that as he was riding southbound a black sedan drove into his lane of travel as he approached the corner where Hillside Country Store is located. Cormier advised that the black sedan forced him off the roadway causing him to crash his motorcycle.

Cormier suffered non-life threatening serious bodily injury. The Pelham Fire Department provided immediate care until DHart arrived and was able to fly Cormier to Boston for further medical attention.

There were no witnesses to the crash. Anyone with information regarding the black sedan is encouraged to contact Sgt. Anne T. Therriault at (603) 635-2411.

Fish and Game: Be Out of the Woods and Off the Water by Saturday Evening

CONCORD, N.H. – The State of New Hampshire will experience a significant weather event this weekend, which will likely bring high winds – including the possibility of hurricane force winds – and heavy rains, which could cause flash flooding, particularly in small streams and rivers. Due to the severity of this storm, N.H. Fish and Game Department Executive Director Glenn Normandeau is urging all outdoor enthusiasts to be out of the woods, off the water and headed for home by Saturday evening.

"It is unlikely that search and rescue operations will be feasible during the height of the storm. For that reason, we are urging the public – whether you're hiking, camping, fishing or boating anywhere in the state – to complete your outdoor recreation and get home by Saturday night. For your safety and the safety of rescue personnel, get out of the woods and off the water by Saturday evening,” Normandeau said.

Campgrounds and day use areas in all New Hampshire State Parks, Forests and Trails, will be closed from 6 p.m. on Saturday, August 27, through Monday, August 29. Parks plan to reopen on Tuesday morning. The reopening of the parks will be subject to any damage and debris removal needed in the aftermath of the storm.

The National Forest Services has also informed the State that all trails and campgrounds in the White Mountain National Forest will be closed. Appalachian Mountain Club huts will also be closed. Trailheads will be posted and parking lots gated. Those in the hiking community are urged to spread the word to fellow hikers and backcountry campers.

Anticipated heavy rains can cause flash flooding that can turn tiny mountain brooks into raging, impassable torrents without notice. Statewide, all waterbodies are expected to rise, and flows to become too swift and strong to navigate safely. Boaters are advised to stay off waterbodies statewide on Sunday and stay off until conditions improve.

DHHS Reminds Residents of Health Precautions to Take During and After a Hurricane

Concord, NH – Hurricane Irene is heading up the Eastern seaboard and there is a good possibility it will impact New Hampshire with strong winds, heavy rain, and power outages. The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Division of Public Health Services is urging residents to prepare and to take precautions against certain public health risks such as carbon monoxide poisoning, contaminated water, and spoiled food.

“While it is a little difficult at this point to know exactly how bad the storm will be,” said Dr. José Montero, Director of Public Health at DHHS, “people should prepare now just in case. Part of preparing should include knowing how to avoid potential hazards related to downed power lines, lack of electricity, and contaminated water.”

Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas emitted when fuels are burned, such as wood, propane, and natural gas. The more common symptoms can include dizziness, headache, blurred vision, weakness, vomiting, chest pain, nausea, and confusion. Extended exposure can result in death. If there is a power outage, do not bring outdoor cooking or heating units indoors, such as grills or portable fireplaces.

For an extended power outage, food safety is an issue. DHHS recommends taking the following steps during and after a weather emergency:

Never taste food to determine if it is safe
Keep the refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible to maintain the cold temperature
The refrigerator will keep food safely cold for about 4 hours if it is unopened. A full freezer will hold the temperature approximately 48 hours (24 hours if it is half full) and the door remains closed
Food can be safely refrozen if it still contains ice crystals or is at 40°F or below
Get block ice or dry ice to keep your refrigerator and freezer as cold as possible if the power is going to be out for an extended period of time
Discard refrigerated perishable food such as meat, poultry, fish, soft cheeses, milk, eggs, leftovers, and deli items after 4 hours without power.

Storm water can carry sewage, chemicals, germs, and fuel. DHHS reminds people to take care and keep the following in mind in dealing with flooding:

Avoid floodwater and flooded areas. Wear protection if you must travel through water that is part of a flood.
If you use well water and your well has been flooded, make sure the well is tested and disinfected before using water to wash dishes, brush your teeth, wash and prepare food, wash your hands, make ice, or make baby formula
Disinfect any items that come in contact with floodwater. Use ¼ cup of bleach per gallon of water as a disinfectant
Remember that moisture accelerates mold growth, which can cause disease and allergic reactions. Remove standing water and wet items from indoors as soon as possible

DHHS will provide additional updates as new information becomes available. For more information on preparing for a hurricane, visit www.nh.gov/readynh. For more information about carbon monoxide safety, visit the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services’ website at www.des.nh.gov/organization/divisions/air/pehb/ehs/iaqp/carbon_monoxide.htm or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) at http://www.cdc.gov/co/default.htm. Questions about testing or disinfecting water should be directed to your local health department or to the Division of Public Health Services at 603-271-4496. For further information about food safety, visit www.bt.cdc.gov/disasters/foodwater/facts.asp or call the DHHS Food Protection Section at 603-271-4589.

Homeowners Urged To Use Caution When Clearing Storm-Damaged Trees

(Concord, NH) Once again Mother Nature will be sending New Hampshire some challenging weather – this time in the form of a hurricane. It is expected that the strong winds and heavy rains associated with Hurricane Irene will cause trees to fall; blocking roads and damaging buildings and power lines. In the days following the storm residents may be anxious to clear fallen trees and limbs from around their property. However; the New Hampshire Division of Forests and Lands and UNH Cooperative Extension urge homeowners to use the following appropriate precautions when clearing storm-damaged trees.

The best advice is a word of caution: Removing large trees or limbs is dangerous. Don’t climb a ladder with a chain saw. Don’t climb into a damaged tree. Never touch any tree near electrical wires. Assess your particular tree situation carefully and watch for safety hazards. Most tree work needs to be done by professional arborists, especially when the work requires climbing or the tree is leaning against another tree or structure. If you’re going to work on your trees yourself, make sure you have the skills and the right safety gear.

Hire an arborist: Trained arborists are aware of proper pruning and removal procedures and can reduce the chance of further damage to the tree. Check to see that they are certified and ask for certificates of insurance, including proof of liability for personal and property damage and worker’s compensation. Also, request local references and get more than one estimate.

Hire a forester: If you own large acreage, contact your County Extension Forester or a licensed forester to assess the damage, and then salvage the trees if needed. Over time, damaged trees may develop decay and discoloration. As long as it is safe, there is no need to rush. You have more than a year to act before you lose wood to discoloration and decay.

Brad Simpkins, Interim Director of the NH Division of Forests and Lands reminds homeowners to be safe, “The trees and forests will recover. It is important people take care of themselves, first”.

If you have questions about your trees contact your County Extension Forester. For more information on assessing and cleaning up storm-damaged trees visit www.nhwoods.org or call 1-800-444-8978 to learn how to contact your forester and for safety, contract and pruning information.

PELHAM POLICE EXPLORER POST 635

The Police Explorer Program is a program open to all youth from the community ranging from 14 to 21 years in age. The Police Exploring Program is sanctioned by the Boy Scouts of America, and is maintained and staffed by members of the Pelham Police Department. It is strictly a volunteer program that gives service to the Police Department and the community. The Exploring Program is a structured program that gives young men and women the academic and technical training needed to become future Law Enforcement Officers. The program also gives Explorers the leadership skills and self-discipline needed to become successful community leaders.

To become a Police Explorer, applicants must attend an Explorer Academy, which teaches the basic skills utilized by Explorers throughout their Explorer experience. The Explorer Program focuses on team building skills and unity, while teaching these young men and women to work together for one common goal.

The Explorer Academy is a discipline Academy that focuses on physical conditioning, reading, writing and comprehension skills, as well as interpersonal communications. The Explorer training also includes technical training utilized by everyday Police Officers. Explorer Advisors and Explorer Drill Instructors staff the Explorer Academy.

Once an Explorer Cadet completes the Explorer Academy, they become Pelham Police Explorers. Police Explorers provide a valuable service to the community by assisting in traffic related duties, fingerprinting of children for "Kid print" programs, Color Guard details for community functions and Administrative service to the Police Department. Explorers also compete in and attend regional and local Explorer Competitions and Fun Days. These competitions challenge Explorers in team activities and also in individual physical competition events.

To become a Police Explorer, one must complete an Explorer Application and return the application to the Police Department. Police Explorer Cadets will be introduced into the Explorer Program and attend monthly meetings, while being assigned to a Senior Explorer to assist them throughout their Academy training.

If you are interested in becoming a Pelham Police Explorer, please contact Lieutenant Brian McCarthy at the Pelham Police Department @ 635-2411 or bmccarthy@pelhampolice.com.

PRESS RELEASE: MAN BEING HELD FOR ASSUALT WITH KNIFE

Wed, 01 Jun 2011 14:05:38 GMT

PRESS RELEASE

MAN BEING HELD FOR ASSUALT WITH KNIFE

On May 29, 2011 at approximately 12:25 am the Pelham Police Department responded to a Greely Road residence for the report of a domestic dispute. While officers were responding to the home the female caller reported that her brother-in-law had armed himself with a knife and that he had cut his mother-in-law with the knife.

Upon arrival at the residence officers learned that the male individual, later identified as MIGUEL RIVERA, 32 years of age, Pelham, NH, was locked in a room with his father-in-law. Officers attempted to have someone unlock the door but were unable to receive compliance from the two men, officers were then forced to gain entry into the room by kicking in the door. Once inside the room officers found Rivera to be uncooperative with the officer’s commands. After a short period of time Rivera began to comply with the officers and he was taken into custody.

During the domestic dispute the mother-in-law was allegedly cut with the knife across the right cheek and was physically pushed by Rivera. The victim received non-life threatening injuries and refused medical treatment at that time.

Rivera was transported to the police station where he was charged with Second Degree Assault

(Felony), Simple Assault (Misdemeanor), and Criminal Mischief (Misdemeanor) and was held for arraignment on May 31^st before the Salem, NH District Court. At his arraignment bail was set at $5000.00 cash bail and Rivera is currently being held at the Hillsborough County House of Correction, Manchester, NH awaiting a probable cause hearing.

Questions may be directed to Lieutenant Gary Fisher at (603) 635-2411

Press Release: National Drug Take Back Day

Mon, 25 Apr 2011 22:20:48 GMT

NATIONAL DRUG TAKE BACK DAY

APRIL 30, 2011
10:00 AM - 2:00 PM

Find a collection site near you

This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. More than seven million Americans currently abuse prescription drugs, according to the 2009 Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration’s National Survey on Drug Use and Health. Each day, approximately, 2,500 teens use prescription drugs to get high for the first time according to the Partnership for a Drug Free America. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including the home medicine cabinet.

In an effort to address this problem, DEA, in conjunction with state and local law enforcement agencies throughout the United States, conducted the first ever National Prescription Drug Take Back Day on Saturday, September 25, 2010. The purpose of this National Take Back Day was to provide a venue for persons who wanted to dispose of unwanted and unused prescription drugs. This effort was a huge success in removing potentially dangerous prescription drugs, particularly controlled substances, from our nation’s medicine cabinets. There were approximately 3,000 state and local law enforcement agencies throughout the nation that participated in the event. All told, the American Public turned in more than 121 tons of pills on this first National Take Back Day.

Due to the overwhelming success of the first event, DEA has scheduled the second National Prescription Drug Take Back Day which will take place on Saturday, April 30, 2011, from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm at the Pelham Police Department. This is a great opportunity for those who missed the first event or who have subsequently accumulated unwanted, unused prescription drugs, to safely dispose of them.

Officer Barbato approached the vehicle found no one with the vehicle and observed that the vehicle was covered in mud and appeared to have been “off roading.”

Officer Barbato was able to learn that the vehicle belonged to a Hudson, NH resident and requested that dispatch contact the registered owner to find out why the vehicle had been abandoned in the park. It was learned from the registered owner that the vehicle had been recently stolen from Hudson, NH and had not been reported stolen yet.

Based on the information gathered and the officers belief that the responsible party (s) may still be in the area officers set up a perimeter around the park and requested a police K-9 from the Salem Police Department.

Press Release

Lock Your Doors, Burglaries on the Rise

On March 25, 2011, at approximately 6:50 PM, the Pelham Police Department responded to a residence located in the area of Tenney Road and Nashua Road for a reported burglary which had occurred between 8:00 AM and 2:30 PM. It is believed that the suspect(s) entered through an unlocked door in the basement. There were multiple items stolen from the house to include jewelry and change. Some of those items were later recovered on the side of the road in Windham, New Hampshire.

Today, April 5, 2011, at approximately at 5:41 PM, members of the Pelham Police Department responded to a residence located in the area of Marsh Road and Greeley Road for a reported burglary which occurred at approximately 4 PM. The suspect(s) entered through an unlocked front door and stole a large television and a lap top computer. A resident was home at the time of the burglary and is believed to have scared off the intruder(s). The resident did not see the intruder(s) as he believed that a family member had come home and did not go upstairs to see who was in the residence.

Please take the time to immediately report any suspicious activity. Do not hesitate to report unfamiliar vehicles or individuals in your neighborhood. In addition, it is believed that the suspect(s) may have been knocking on resident’s door pretending to be lost or at the wrong address to do work they were hired for. The quicker you report this activity the quicker we can confirm or dispel what their true intentions are.

The Pelham Police Department is reminding citizens to keep your doors locked at all times.

Please be a good neighbor and watch out for one another.

If anyone has any tips regarding the above burglaries please contact the Pelham Police Department’s Criminal Bureau, (603) 635-2411.

PRESS RELEASE

NEW HAMPSHIRE MAN INDICTED AND ARRESTED FOR WIRE FRAUD, MAIL

FRAUD AND AGGRAVATED IDENTITY THEFT AT FORMER

MIDDLE TENNESSEE COMPANY

Nashville, Tenn. - March 3, 2011 - Stephen McLaughlin, 44, of Pelham, New Hampshire, was arrested this morning by agents from the FBI’s Bedford, New Hampshire Resident Agency and officers from the Pelham, New Hampshire Police Department, on charges of wire fraud, mail fraud, and aggravated identity theft, announced Jerry E. Martin, U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee, and Amy Hess, Special Agent in Charge (SAC) of the Memphis Division of the FBI. McLaughlin was indicted on February 23, 2011, by a federal grand jury in Nashville, Tennessee for engaging in fraudulent activity while working as the president of his former company, EquipLinq Co..

According to the indictment, as the president of EquipLinq, McLaughlin was responsible for obtaining construction equipment inventory for the company to lease to its customers. EquipLinq typically used credit to finance its acquisition of such inventory. On at least four occasions, McLaughlin caused forged signatures of EquipLinq investors to be used to secure financing for the company’s purchase and/or lease of construction equipment inventory. The indictment also charges McLaughlin with aggravated identity theft based on the use of the forged signatures without lawful authority. Through this fraudulent course of conduct, McLaughlin is alleged to have caused investor and creditor losses exceeding $100,000.

This case is being investigated by agents of the FBI, Nashville, Tennessee Resident Agency. Assistant United States Attorney Matthew J. Everitt is representing the government.

An indictment is merely an accusation and is not evidence of guilt. The defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

Questions may be directed to Lieutenant Gary Fisher at (603) 635-2411

Pro Active Policing Leads to Arrest

Due to the increase in commercial burglaries in the immediate area, on February 1, 2011, members of the Pelham Police Department were assigned to watch the local businesses. The majority of the commercial breaks have been occurring during inclement weather conditions and during the early morning hours. At approximately 1:00 AM in the morning of February 2, 2011, Officer Bismark Montano and Officer Derek Gioia were traveling northbound on Route 38 in an undercover vehicle. There was a White Ford Explorer Sport Trac traveling erratically all over the roadway and the license plate was covered with snow. The officers radioed to patrol and requested assistance in stopping the vehicle in a fully marked police cruiser.

Officer Matthew Kulesz stopped the vehicle on Route 38 in the area of the Pine Valley Golf Course. As officers cleared the snow covered license plate, they ran the Massachusetts registered vehicle with dispatch. Shortly after the officers were advised that the vehicle returned stolen out of Lowell, MA. The vehicle was reported stolen on January 31, 2011.

The driver was identified as Kimberly Santos, age 21, Worcester, Massachusetts. Santos was immediately placed under arrest. She was found to be in possession of multiple bags of cocaine and prescription pills. Her passenger was eventually identified as Luis A. Rivera, age 27, Lowell, Massachusetts. Rivera initially gave officers a fake name and date of birth.

Santos has been charged with receiving stolen property, possession of drugs with an intent to distribute, possession of clonazepam, possession of cocaine, possession of alprazolam, transportation of drugs and operating without a valid license. Rivera was charged receiving stolen property, possession of alprazolam, possession of clonazepam and false report to law enforcement.

Santos and Rivera will be held at the Pelham Police Department pending arraignment.

One Seriously Injured in Violent Fight

On January 27, 2011, at 6:30 PM, members of the Pelham Police Department responded to 15 Tina Avenue, Pelham, New Hampshire for a report of a possible fight in progress. As the officers were arriving, they were able to stop two vehicles attempting to flee the area. Officers stopped those cars and made contact with the occupants. While they began an initial investigation as to what had taken place, two other officers responded directly to 15 Tina Ave.

Once at the house officers observed a crowd of approximately twelve people in front of the house. The crowd was screaming and very belligerent. Officers were advised that there was a fight and they were directed towards an injured male subject. The male subject, age 17, of Pelham, New Hampshire collapsed in the presence of the officers and was unconscious by the time the Pelham Fire Department arrived on scene.

Preliminary investigations show that the 17 year old male subject from Pelham was violently attacked by multiple people and had been struck with a bat in the head and chest. Two other male subjects, age 16, of Pelham, New Hampshire suffered facial injuries. There were multiple weapons located on scene to include a BB Gun Rifle, a machete, and a large knife. Witnesses reported that at least one subject had been armed with a firearm, however, it was not found at the scene.

There were reportedly twenty people that showed up at the residence on Tina Ave to fight the 17 year old male subject. The subjects arrived in vehicles and are primarily from Nashua, New Hampshire. The ages of all parties involved range from sixteen years of age through twenty-one years of age. The names are not being released at this time. The investigation is believed to be drug related and arrests are forthcoming.

The 17 year old male subject was transported to the Lowell General Hospital, Lowell, Massachusetts. His medical condition improved significantly and he is listed in stable condition and expected to be released.

Any questions can be directed to Lt. Gary Fisher of Sgt. Anne T. Therriault, (603) 635-2411.

Press Release: Pelham Police Introdue D.A.R.E. back into Pelham Schools Systems

Thu, 27 Jan 2011 17:24:52 GMT

Pelham Police Introduce D.A.R.E. back into the Pelham School Systems

On January 28, 2011, at 1:45 PM, members of the Pelham Police Department will be hosting a school assembly at the Pelham Elementary School. Officer’s are going to introduce the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) Program to the entire fifth grade. Sgt. Anne T. Therriault, Officer Ron Page and Officer Brian Kelly were certified in September of 2010, to instruct the D.A.R.E. curriculum. They are going to teach a total of nine fifth grade classes at the Pelham Elementary School and one fifth grade class at St. Patrick’s School. They will be in contact with approximately 275 students.

Early in the Spring of 2010, Pelham Police Chief Joseph Roark introduced the idea of incorporating the D.A.R.E. curriculum back into the school system. With the support of the school administration, they forwarded the idea to the Pelham School Board and collaboratively it was agreed upon that the program will be very beneficial for the youth of Pelham.

The Pelham Police Department taught D.A.R.E. in the Pelham Middle School over ten years ago. Since that time the D.A.R.E. curriculum has changed drastically. D.A.R.E.’s primary mission is “to provide children with the information and skills they need to live drug and violence free lives. The mission is to equip kids with the tools that will enable them to avoid negative influences and instead, allow them to focus on their strengths and potential.”

Starting February 3, 2011, the Pelham officer’s will be teaching at the Pelham Elementary School every Thursday morning for the next ten weeks and they will be at St. Patrick’s School every Wednesday beginning February 16, 2011. In addition to the set curriculum they will also be teaching one addition lesson on bullying.

The Pelham Police Department is very excited about reaching the student population in such a positive manner. Any questions regarding the program can be directed to Lt. Gary Fisher or Sgt. Anne T. Therriault, (603) 635-2411.

PRESS RELEASE

Arrest Warrant Issued in Pelham Restaurant Burglary

On the morning of January 17^th 2011, members of the Pelham Police Department were called to Grand 38 Restaurant, Bridge Street, Pelham NH for a report of a burglary. Officers observed thousands of dollars worth of damage; broken windows, doors, registers and vending machines. Taken during the burglary was cash from the registers, change from the vending machines and a large butcher knife.

While processing the scene police found evidence believed to have been left by the suspect; blood, cloth fibers and partial foot prints in the snow. Investigators were able to review footprint photographs from a previous crime scene in which an individual had been arrested. The two foot prints appeared to be similar. Based on the previous arrest and the footprints officers applied to the Salem, NH District Court for a search warrant authorizing the search of 2 Birch Lane. During the search police located more blood evidence, glass and fibers which appeared to be similar to ones found at the crime scene. Jewelry that was later linked to another Pelham burglary was also found in the home. Several interviews were then conducted which assisted police in this case.

Shortly after this a second search warrant was obtained through the Salem District Court authorizing the seizure of DNA from Jeffrey Langenfeld. With the assistance of the Manchester NH Police Department and the Portsmouth NH Police Department, Langenfeld’s DNA and other evidence was obtained. All evidence was later transported to the NH State Police Crime Lab for analysis.

On January 25, 2011 an arrest warrant was issued for Jeffrey Langenfeld, age 39, 2 Birch Lane, Pelham NH, for Burglary, Felony, Criminal Mischief, Felony, Possession of Drugs (cocaine), Felony, and Receiving Stolen Property (jewelry), Felony.

Press Release: Two Arrested in Pelham Good Neighbor Fund Scam

Press Release

Two Arrested in Pelham Good Neighbor Fund Scam

The Pelham Police have made two arrests after a six week investigation into the theft of over $900.00 from the Pelham Good Neighbor Fund. Police were working off of a tip that was given from the public. The information alleged that an individual had given false information to the Pelham Good Neighbor Fund in order to receive donations.

The investigation lead detectives to two individuals, Samantha Freeman, age 19, and Domenic Gioioso, age 21, both are from Pelham NH. Detectives were able to gather evidence showing that the two were involved in an illegal scheme in which they were soliciting donations and funding from this organization.

The pair told Pelham Good Neighbor Fund that Freeman was pregnant and had a second baby at home. They also claimed that the father of the baby was Gioioso’s brother, who was in the service and currently serving over seas in Iraq. Freeman claimed that she needed money for food, baby supplies and doctors appointments. Due to their story, The Pelham Good Neighbor Fund awarded Freeman money orders which would assist her in paying certain bills. She was given money orders and gift cards, all funded by the Pelham Good Neighbor Fund.

Detectives confirmed that Freeman is not pregnant nor does she have a second child. Detectives also confirmed that Gioioso does not have an older brother serving in Iraq and that Freeman and Gioioso are in fact a couple. The investigation revealed that the pair had learned of this scheme from another Pelham resident who may have also committed a similar act. That individual is currently under investigation.

On December 20^th 2010, both were arrested on warrants at the Pelham Police Station. Samantha Freeman was charged with Theft by Deception and Domenic Gioioso was charged with Conspiracy to commit Theft by Deception. Both were booked and later released with a court date of January 24^th 2011, at the Salem District Court.

Any questions please contact Lt. McCarthy 603-635-2411. Booking photos available upon request.

Pelham Police taking part in Operation Safe Commute

Wed, 10 Nov 2010 21:54:37 GMT

Media Release
November 9, 2010
NH Highway Safety Agency

OPERATION SAFE COMMUTE
Do you know the rules of the road? This Friday, Law Enforcement begins High Visibility Patrols Targeting Distracted Drivers

Concord – Whether you drive I-93 every day or you commute on the back roads of the state, you can expect to see a lot more police patrols this Friday, November 12th. New Hampshire State Police, County Sheriffs, city and town police departments are joining forces for “Operation Safe Commute”. This week, virtually every officer on the force will be on the roads searching for distracted drivers.
“Operation Safe Commute” begins in the early hours of the Friday morning commute throughout New Hampshire. It will run through the evening commute Friday night. Similar operations will be held every few weeks. “Poor driving habits have forced us to take action,” says Director Peter Thomson of New Hampshire Highway Safety Agency. “Please be vigilant, use caution, and be courteous. Always wear your seat belt and no matter where or when you are traveling, commute with care.”

According to the NH Highway Safety Administration, there were 110 motor vehicle fatalities in 2009 in New Hampshire. So far in 2010, there have been 117 fatalities. 29% of those fatalities were caused by distracted driving.

“Drivers are following too closely, driving way too fast, making unsafe lane changes, ignoring the Move Over law, flying through construction zones and texting while driving,” explains NHSSA Director Thomson. “More people are dying on our highways because of distracted driving.”

Among the thousands of non-fatal traffic accidents in New Hampshire, NHHSA reports 28% are caused by distractions, 11% are the result of speeding. “Distracted driving is the number one cause of accidents. We intend to deploy our resources in a strategic manner aimed at reducing loss of life and accidents,” says New Hampshire State Police Colonel Robert Quinn.

Drivers can expect to get tickets, but that’s not the point of Operation Safe Commute. “We urge drivers to commute with care,” says Enfield Police Chief Richard Crate, who represents NH Chiefs of Police Association. “This isn’t about safe driving on the highways; this is about safe driving everywhere. We see just as many accidents on rural roads as we see on major roads.”

The Association of General Contractors of New Hampshire has endorsed Operation Safe Commute. “We are very concerned with the increase in accidents over the year because we have people working amongst the traffic to repair our roads and bridges,” explains Gary Abbott, Executive VP of Associated General Contractors. “That is why it is so important that drivers recognize when they are entering a work zone to slow down and be alert.”

Chief Crate says he’s witnessed drivers ignoring a police officer directing traffic in a construction zone because of inattention. “Lives are at stake with this reckless behavior. Any injury or loss of life caused by distracted driving is preventable.”

Those who make their living driving highways welcome “Operation Safe Commute”. New Hampshire Motor Transport Association points out 33-thousand people were killed on America’s roads and highways in 2009. NHMTA Executive Director Robert Scully says some of those accidents are the result of people ignoring the needs of big rigs. “Drivers don’t know how to properly drive around trucks. Large trucks have blind spots. And they can’t stop as quickly as passenger vehicles,” says Scully. “Trucks need extra space. They are not obstacles to your journey. We need to share the road safely.”
