NASHUA – Michael Cabot was already in jail facing seven misdemeanors and one felony charge when Nashua police late last month filed four new charges, which accuse the 33-year-old Nashua man of trying to call a person in violation of a no-contact court order.

Cabot, who lists no fixed address, is now due to return to court on Sept. 30 for a hearing on both sets of charges, according to court documents.

He will likely remain behind bars until then, as the Nashua district court judge who arraigned him via video conference from Valley Street jail ordered him held without bail.

According to police and court documents, Cabot’s first arrest followed a police investigation into allegations he tampered with a witness in one of his criminal cases by “attempting to coerce (the witness) to lie for him,” police said.

Cabot was also charged at the time with four counts of domestic violence-related criminal mischief, which police said stemmed from a report they’d received some months earlier from a person whose residence in Nashua had been damaged.

Police didn’t specify the type of damage or whose residence was damaged.

And during the same arrest, police served Cabot with three bench warrants, which they said had been issued by the court when Cabot allegedly didn’t show up for court dates.

Just days later, police said the alleged victim went to police headquarters and told detectives Cabot had allegedly tried to contact her by phone on four occasions within about an hour and a half.

When the alleged victim answered one of the calls, police said, she heard an automated message that states the call is coming from Hillsborough County House of Corrections, which is Valley Street jail.

Police said detectives who viewed video surveillance images at the jail allegedly saw Cabot using one of the jail phones, then “engaging with two other inmates whose accounts were used to place” the other three calls.

Police arrested Cabot at the jail, charging him with four counts of stalking – domestic violence, Class A misdemeanors.

They transported him to Nashua for booking, then returned him to the jail.

They said while at police headquarters, Cabot waived his rights, “but denied making any phone calls” to the alleged victim.
