NASHUA – Slightly more than a year ago, a young woman contacted Nashua police and told them “he just beat the (expletive) out of me,” a prosecutor said in court Tuesday.

The woman was referring to Tarell Mables, 26, who at the time of the alleged Sept. 19, 2018 incident lived at 30 Lowell St., Apt. 3, and who is now beginning a 12-month jail sentence he received Tuesday as part of a plea agreement his lawyer and prosecutors crafted during the past several weeks.

While Mables’s attorney, Daniel Duckett, acknowledged as “terrible” the facial and head injuries the woman sustained, he told Judge Charles Temple he has known Mables for a long time, adding, “I don’t believe you’ll see Mr. Mables” back in the justice system again.

Temple, after reviewing the agreement and hearing from Duckett and the prosecutor, Assistant County Attorney Michele Battaglia, accepted its terms as presented.

In all, Mables entered guilty pleas to five charges, one felony and four misdemeanors.

According to the agreement, he will serve two 12-month jail terms, to be served concurrently, meaning at the same time, on two misdemeanor counts of domestic violence, and two additional 12-month sentences, all suspended for five years, on an additional count of domestic violence and one count of endangering the welfare of a child, both misdemeanors.

On the felony charge – one count of second-degree assault – Mables was sentenced to a term of two to four years in State Prison, all suspended for five years, beginning with his release from jail. He will also serve three years probation.

Other terms include participating in any counseling or other programs as recommended by jail officials, including a batterers intervention program, and that he enroll in the Corrections Department’s Substance Abuse Treatment Community for Offenders (SATCO) program after serving 90 days.

Mables is also prohibited from having contact with the woman, who has an active restraining order against him, or her child.

Battaglia told the court Mables punched the woman “multiple times,” bloodying her face and sending her to the hospital for treatment.

She was later diagnosed with a closed head injury and a nasal fracture, Battaglia said.

She also told the court she has met several times with the woman, and although she wasn’t able to be in court Tuesday, Battaglia said she “is fine with the terms of the agree
