Nashua Woman Faces Burglary Accomplice Charge After Temple Street Incident In April

NASHUA, NH — A woman from Nashua with a 15 year history of crime and active drug dealing, possession, and other charges was arrested recently by police accused of participating in a burglary on Temple Street.

On April 19, police were sent to an apartment on Temple Street near Temple Place for a report of an armed robbery and burglary. Police spoke to the victim, who said several people known to her “forced their way into her apartment, threatened her with a box cutter, and assaulted her,” according to Sgt. John Cinelli, the public information officer and communications division supervisor of the Nashua Police Department.

Detectives began working on the case. After eyeing surveillance video and interviewing witnesses and suspects, Kailey Rowley, 31, of Temple Street, a couple of blocks away from the incident, was identified as “an involved participant,” Cinelli said. A warrant was issued for her arrest on a criminal liability charge. She was arrested on April 25 and held without bail.

“At the time of Rowley’s arrest,” Cinelli said, “she had several other outstanding arrest warrants,” including theft, sale of a controlled drug, and falsifying physical evidence charges, all felonies.

Rowley was arraigned in Nashua District Court on April 26.

According to superior court records and reports on Patch, Rowley is no stranger to police, with a criminal history dating back close to 15 years.

Rowley was accused of falsifying physical evidence and evidence-criminal liability for the conduct of another three times in 2009 in Concord. Most of the charges were nolle prossed and she did forfeit $831.88 in January 2012 as part of the case.

While living in Franklin, in September 2017, she was accused of acts prohibited and controlled drug: controlled premises where drugs kept after police tracked online sex ads and calls for service to a home several months before. Investigators alleged there had been more than 40 calls to the home for drug overdoses, prostitution , assaults, wanted subjects, noise complaints, and multiple calls from neighborhood residents reporting possible drug activity. About a year later, she pleaded guilty to the controlled premises charge, receiving a 12 month sentence, suspended for two years.

In February 2021, she was arrested on acts prohibited and driving after revocation or suspension charges in Nashua. She failed to appear at the arraignment in March 2021 but, ultimately, the charges were nolle prossed in April 2021.

In Nashua, in late December 2022, she was arrested on a theft by unauthorized taking charge, a felony due to two prior convictions, after an incident at Kohl’s. Rowley was convicted of theft in Franklin District Court in May 2016 and Concord District Court in August 2016. Rowley was released on $200 cash bail. She failed to appear at a plea and sentencing hearing in September 2023 as well as review hearings on Jan. 5, Jan. 18, and Feb. 29. A warrant was issued for her arrest on April 29. A status conference is booked for May 29.

Four felony sale of a controlled drug charges followed in April 2023 after incidents in January, February, and April 2023 in Nashua. She was indicted later in the case, and it is also still active. Rowley failed to appear at a dispositional conference hearing in Hillsborough County Superior Court South in September 2023. She also failed to appear at review hearings on Ja. 5, Jan. 18, Feb. 22, and Feb. 29. A bail hearing was held on April 29, and she was held on preventative detention. A status conference is booked for May 29.

Rowley is also facing drug possession, contraband, falsifying physical evidence, two delivery of weapon, and two breach of bail charges out of Manchester after an incident mid-December 2023. She failed to appear at an arraignment and bail hearing in Hillsborough County Superior Court North on March 15. Rowley was arraigned on May 1 and held on $25,000 cash bail.
