Man denied tattoo admits to trashing owner's car By Julie Manganis Staff writer
BEVERLY - A man who was apparently so drunk he was turned away at a tattoo parlor exacted his revenge by
vandalizing the owner's car, he admitted yesterday.
Salvatore Testaverde III, 22, of 22 Pleasant St., Beverly, turned himself in to Beverly police yesterday morning, more than 14 months after the episode outside Evil Wind on Rantoul Street.
And in another twist, it was Testaverde who was asking for jail time while prosecutors wanted to impose a suspended sentence and probation - which would give them some leverage in collecting restitution.
Testaverde and a second man, Taylor Desmond, 23, of Wenham allegedly walked into the tattoo shop on
the night of Nov. 4, 2006, asking for tattoos. When the owner, Corey Shea, told them they were too drunk, they allegedly smashed some items in the store, then left, according to a police report.
Beverly police received a series of calls from residents of the area near Rantoul and Federal streets, all of them reporting two men kicking and smashing a black Audi sedan - Shea's car. The car was heavily damaged, with dents and a broken window. Police caught up with the pair as they were leaving the area.
Desmond is expected to stand trial next month. Testaverde, meanwhile, wanted to get the case behind him, pleading guilty to malicious destruction of property.
Prosecutors had hoped that Salem District Court Judge Joseph Jennings also would order him to take part in anger management and alcohol counseling while he was on probation - something Testaverde did not want to do.
After Jennings suggested that alcohol counseling would probably not work if Testaverde did not want to stop drinking and removed that as a condition, Testaverde agreed to take the 90-day suspended sentence and year's
probation offered by prosecutors.
A restitution hearing is scheduled for Feb. 7.
