PORTSMOUTH POLICE REPORT

Man faces charge of breaking and entering in Portsmouth

Posted

PORTSMOUTH — Police arrested a Bristol man Saturday night after a witness reported seeing the man try to kick in a door to a Cedar Avenue home.

Robert E. Stackhouse, 46, of 155 Bradford St., Apt. 2D, was charged with felony breaking and entering, vandalism with malicious injury to property and resisting arrest. 

Police responded to the home, which was being renovated, after receiving a report that a man was attempting to kick in the front door. They found Mr. Stackhouse in the backyard, swaying slightly with his hands behind his back, police said. 

He was ordered to display his hands several times but refused to comply, according to police. After two officers drew their weapons, he dropped to his knees but still had his hands behind his back, police said. He was handcuffed after a brief struggle, police said.

Police observed a small amount of damage to the door jamb of a back door which appeared to lead to the basement of the residence. According to police, Mr. Stackhouse said he was homeless and admitted to trying to force his way into the house.

Here are some more highlights from the Portsmouth Police report from the past week.

Jaevin L. Milhouse, 20, of 49 Benson Ave., Rumford, was charged around 1:50 p.m. on a bench warrant issued by 6th District Court. Mr. Milhouse was a passenger in a vehicle stopped on West Main Road because its occupants were not wearing seat belts, police said.

When asked why he was parked in the area, Mr. Blaine responded, “I’m not going to lie. I am drunk so I pulled over,” according to police.

Alimasi Alimujang, 22, of 9411 Lee Highway, Apt. 607, Fairfax, Va., was charged with obstructing a police officer during the execution of his duties after a car in which he was a passenger was stopped on Turnpike Avenue because a side brake light was broken. Police said Mr. Alimujang provided a false name and refused to give his date of birth. When asked if he had ever been arrested in Rhode Island, Mr. Alimujang said no, but police said he had been arrested by Richmond Police and had an active bench warrant out of 4th District Court.

Catia M. Teles, 31, of 22 Whittenton St., Taunton, Mass., was charged just after midnight with driving while intoxicated. Her vehicle was stopped on West Main Road for leaving the lane of travel multiple times, police said.

Peter E. Rinkel, 19, of 210 Cedar Ave., was charged at 7:22 p.m. with resisting arrest, obstructing a police officer in the execution of his duties and driving with a suspended license. A group of individuals in the area of Sprague Street and Maniton Drive who flagged down a police officer said there had been a minor accident between a motor vehicle operator and a bicyclist. Police said Mr. Rinkel behaved oddly while in his car and did not obey verbal commands from police to exit the vehicle. At one point he reached into the center console and grabbed an unknown item, clenching it in his right hand, police said. He eventually dropped what appeared to be a small bag of marijuana, police said. Mr. Rinkel was uncooperative with police and resisted efforts to detain him until he was cuffed, according to police. The bicyclist complained of pain to his wrist and was evaluated by firefighters.

Maulik M. Patel, 36, of 131 Caribou Way, Tiverton, was charged shortly before midnight with driving while intoxicated (first offense) after his vehicle was stopped on Route 24 North near Boyd’s Lane because it was being operated erratically, police said.

Police responded to an East Main Road home shortly after 3 p.m. for a report of an assault in progress. When they arrived they found Ms. Gobany in the driveway and a 56-year-old Portsmouth woman who lived at the residence. She woman living there told police that Ms. Gobany had showed up at her residence while intoxicated and asked for a ride, police said. They argued over the use of a phone when Ms. Gobany allegedly pushed the other woman and grabbed her by the arm, causing a scratch, police said. Ms. Gobany also pushed a grandfather clock in the hallway of the home, causing it to fall forward and shattering its glass, according to police. Police said Ms. Gobany briefly struggled with them when they went to cuff her.

Sherri A. Walker, 38, of 390 Brayton Road, Tiverton, was charged with driving while intoxicated (first offense), after her 2003 Ford Taurus struck a telephone pole — splitting it in half — around 10 p.m. on East Main Road northbound at Sandy Point Avenue. She was transported to Newport Hospital by firefighters for treatment of injuries.
