LEOMINSTER -- Police allege a Leominster man used a snow shovel to smash through an Adams Street window last month, showering a sleeping 3-year-old with glass before running away.
Gary J. Doucette, 35, of 37 Cotton St., third floor, was summonsed to court Wednesday to face charges of breaking and entering and malicious damage of property worth less than $250. He was released on personal recognizance.
The 3-year-old's father told police on Feb. 12 he heard the window break and went to his daughter's room, where the child was covered in broken glass but not hurt, according to a report by Officer David C. Wilson. The father said he went to the building's entrance, where he saw his shovel had been taken, then he said he saw it outside the bedroom window.
A woman who was walking her dogs nearby said she saw a man matching Doucette's description run from Adams Street into his own building. She said she called police after hearing the smashing noise.
Wilson reported Doucette denied leaving his house, saying he currently wears a GPS tracking device on his ankle and is not allowed to leave his building. Wilson reported Doucette is allegedly on probation for a past breaking and entering.
Doucette is due in court April 2 for a pretrial conference.
FITCHBURG -- A Fall River man out-stayed his welcome while visiting a couple in Fitchburg, according to police. Timothy R. Gregory, 37, of 125 John St., Fall River, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, intimidating a witness and giving a false name to a police officer, according to Fitchburg Police Sgt. Glenn Fossa.
"Police were called to the house to respond to an unwanted guest with a knife," Fossa said.
Gregory became disruptive while staying in the basement at 99 Nashua St., Fossa said. The couple Gregory was staying with called police Tuesday night when Gregory pulled out a knife, Fossa said.
Gregory threatened the couple and police officers when confronted by police, Fossa said.
Police say Gregory tried to get away from officers by running up the basement stairs, but was soon caught and brought to the Police Department for booking, according to Fossa.
Gregory initially told police his name is Richard Gregory, but police soon learned his true identity, Fossa said. Gregory has outstanding warrants for parole violations, Fossa said. Gregory appeared Wednesday in Fitchburg District Court for his arraignment, but his file was unavailable Wednesday afternoon.
