Three Held for Fighting Police
Dracut Family Arrested for Alleged Assault on State Troopers |
A Dracut family—father, mother and son—were arrested this
afternoon at their home in Mercier street in connection with an
alleged assault earlier in the day on three state troops from the
Concord barracks of the state police.
The three, Charles Kasmarski, 45; his wife, Mary, 43, and the son,
Andrew, 19; were booked at police headquarters here charged with
hindering police officers in the service of a process, and assault
upon Troopers Charles H. Furse, Anthony Lacaire, and Hollis C.
Beattie. They will be arraigned in district court tomorrow morning.
According to a police report of the affair, the three troopers went
to the Kasmarski home with a search warrant early this afternoon but
were denied admittance to the home. Mr. and Mrs. Kasmarski, it is
charged, joined their son in repelling the troopers when they sought
to force an entry on the strength of the search warrant, which had
been issued from the district clerk's place.
The Kasmarski youth was before the district court here last week
charged with breaking and entering in the night time and larceny in
connection with an early morning break last month at the Harry
Chaplin store in Lakeview avenue and Mammoth road in Dracut. He was
at large under bonds on that complaint pending trial next week.
Troopers Furse and Lecaire were instrumental in arresting young
Kasmarski on this charge.
In connection with the youth's arrest, the two troopers with Trooper
Beattie, obtained a search warrant today authorizing them to enter
and search for stolen articles believed to be secreted in the Mercier
street dwelling. |
