Homicide, arson among indictments

By Dean Shalhoup - Senior Staff Writer | Feb 24, 2020

Emanuel Perez, age 25, of 38 Falconer Ave, Milford

NASHUA – The 49-year-old Nashua woman accused of using motor oil and a burning pillow to set her Sullivan Terrace apartment on fire, and the 25-year-old Milford man who allegedly tried to strangle a Nashua police officer at a crash-scene fracas last fall are among numerous individuals for whom the February grand jury for Hillsborough County Superior Court South has handed up indictments.

An indictment is not an indication, or proof of, guilt, but represents the Grand Jury’s determination that enough evidence exists for prosecutors to move the case forward in Superior Court.

Doris Ricard, 56 Tyler St., Apt. 501, allegedly poured motor oil “throughout her apartment and lit a pillow on fire knowing that the building was an occupied structure,” and placed people in danger of serious bodily injury by allegedly doing so, according to the two indictments.

The first indictment is on the charge of arson – occupied structure, a Class A felony, while the other charges her with reckless conduct – deadly weapon, a Class B felony. The alleged incident took place on Nov. 8.

The Milford man, Emanuel Perez, of 38 Falconer Ave., faces one count each of second-degree assault – strangulation, a Class B felony that carries an extended-term penalty, and simple assault, a Class A misdemeanor, which also carries an extended-term penalty, according to the indictments.

Perez is one of four people accused of attacking police at the scene of a crash involving a school bus and two cars on Tinker Road on Sept. 16.

The charges accuse him of “engaging in the strangulation of Officer Alexander Mann by applying pressure to his neck, causing him to experience ipeded blood circulation,” and grabbing Mann “around the neck, causing (Mann) to suffer a separated shoulder,” the indictments state.
