Concord Man Tussled With Officers While Intoxicated Downtown: Report

CONCORD, NH — A felon from Concord was arrested on Tuesday morning after being accused of public drunkenness and passing out on the ground of a downtown street and sidewalk.

An officer traveling in the area of 61 S. Main St. around 12:45 a.m. saw a man face down on the ground halfway on the sidewalk and the street. The officer turned their cruiser around and checked on the man, who was not moving. The officer immediately recognized the man as Michael Guglielmo, 62, of Rumford Street in Concord, “from prior police contacts,” an affidavit stated. The officer attempted to speak to Guglielmo to confirm it was him and he “slurred that his name was ‘Michael Guglielmo,’” the report stated.

The officer accused Guglielmo of giving off “the strong scent of alcohol” and “attempted to move his head from the ground, but due to being highly intoxicated, he was having issues lifting his body.” The officer said there was a pool of drool and a hat on the sidewalk near where he was on the ground. He believed Guglielmo had lost his balance and had fallen onto the ground, the report stated.

When asked where he was coming from and if anyone could get him, Guglielmo could not respond, the report stated. After several minutes, he was able to push himself up, onto his hands and knees, and staggered up onto the sidewalk, the affidavit said. The officer told him to sit down so he would not hurt himself, but instead, Guglielmo used a rock wall for support and was heavily swaying, the report stated. The officer noted he had blood on his forehead, and fire and rescue teams were requested to assist him.

After repeatedly being asked if someone could get him, “Michael was so inebriated that he would just grunt or not respond” and had “a one-thousand-yard stare” as he waited for firefighters, the officer wrote.

EMTs cleaned up his forehead wound while the reporting officer attempted to find assistance for him but was unable to.

Due to his highly intoxicated condition, Guglielmo was taken into protective custody, the officer said. The reporting officer asked him to stand up, but he was unable to, they wrote. He was then cuffed and assisted to a police cruiser.

During a search, though, the reporting officer accused Guglielmo of getting “extremely irritated” and “began to yell,” the officer said.

“As I was attempting to finish the search,” the officer wrote, “Michael began to lunge his body at officers.”

Officers, they wrote, had to be pushed against while they attempted to force him into a cruiser. The affidavit said he was warned to stop lunging at them or he would be charged, but instead, Guglielmo lurched at them and attempted to use his feet to prevent a door from being closed after he was placed in the cruiser.

Guglielmo was taken to Concord Hospital and security was requested to meet the officer with a wheelchair, the report said. But he was accused of locking his legs and pushing against the ground when they tried to put him into the wheelchair.

“F— you,” Guglielmo was accused of yelling at officers and hospital security.

The reporting officer said they decided to place Guglielmo back into the police cruiser, but he was accused of fighting officers — although three were able to get him back inside. The reporting officer accused him of smacking his head off the cruiser as he was pushed back in but had no reaction to it.

The reporting officer interviewed one of the security guards to confirm whether Guglielmo kicked them. The security guard said No and believed him to be “too intoxicated to know what was really going on around him.”

Guglielmo was placed later into a bed in restraints and wheeled into the hospital, the report said. After being medically cleared, he was taken to the county jail. Guglielmo was charged with two counts of resisting arrest or detention and pleaded not guilty in Concord District Court. He is due back in court for a trial in March.

Last year, Guglielmo placed third in the Zone A (Wards 1, 2, 3, and 4) Concord board of education seat with 119 votes, after pulling his children out of the SAU 8 school district due to complaints by him and others about a crossdressing elementary school art teacher.

In April, he was arrested on a driving under the influence-second offense charge and an unsafe lane change violation after a crash on South State Street.

Guglielmo is a felon due to attempting to kill his drug dealer and being involved in a shootout with police in Manchester in the 1980s. He served nearly two decades in prison.

Mass. man struck by car, seriously injured on I-93 in Londonderry, NH

A Massachusetts man was flown to the hospital after he was struck by a car when he stepped out of his vehicle in the breakdown lane of Interstate 93 in Londonderry, New Hampshire, on Saturday morning.

State police say 40-year-old Felix Matos Medina, of Lawrence, had stopped on the right side of I-93 south at Exit 5 just before 11 a.m. to investigate a possible mechanical issue. He was struck shortly after he stepped out of his vehicle by a Chevrolet Malibu and sustained serious injuries.

Medina was taken by medical helicopter to Lahey Hospital and Medical Center in Burlington, Mass., police said. There was no immediate update on his condition.

I-93 southbound was closed near Exit 5 for about 30 minutes to facilitate the medical helicopter’s landing. One lane remained closed for several hours to accommodate crash reconstruction and on-scene investigation.

The driver who struck Medina, identified as David Jodoin, stopped at the scene and is cooperating with investigators, according to police. No charges have been filed at this time, but all aspects of the crash remain under investigation at this time.

Anyone with information that may assist the investigation is asked to contact Trooper Evan Puopolo at 603-451-9784.

State police are also reminding all New Hampshire drivers that Sherrill’s Law requires motorists approaching a stopped vehicle displaying warning signals to slow down and give plenty of space. Drivers are also required to move out of partially or wholly blocked lanes when it’s safe to do so.
