The home owner was upset about the amount of fire fighters on his property and was not being cooperative with the ambulance crew that was at the scene. Tr.

The man’s home is a total loss.
– Trooper Sylvia began investigating a report of a stolen purse in Amity. The purse went missing three days ago and was first believed to have been misplaced, but after never locating the purse the family now believes it to be stolen and they have a suspect in mind. The case remains under investigation.
– Cpl. Michaud and Trooper Casavant were called out to a reported domestic assault in Westfield. The both parties reported being assaulted, but neither wanted to cooperate with law enforcement. The female was forcefully removed from the residence by the male and then broke a window trying to gain entry. The female suffered from mental issues and went to TAMC for treatment for cuts from the glass and a swollen and bruised arm. DA Todd Collins was consulted and based on the totality of the circumstances declined to prosecute. The female was in contact with family to come get her and was offered other services.
– Troopers from Troop F attended the Special Olympics Games held in Presque Isle and helped out by running the standing long jump event and handing out medals and awards. This marks the 30th consecutive year that Troop F has helped out at the Special Olympics, running the standing long jump event for the last 25 years. (Ret) Trooper John York was instrumental in beginning our involvement in the Games back in 1986 and after his retirement in 2004, Troop F Troopers kept the tradition going. This year there were approximately 300 athletes competing in the Games. Troop F was presented a plaque in recognition of their 30 years of participation.
