Allowed a phone call after her arrest in Hollis, Nashua woman allegedly calls person she’s prohibited from contacting
State Access Road that runs from Nartoff Road to the northern shore of Flint Pond in Hollis.
HOLLIS — Initially charged with criminal threatening and disorderly conduct following a confrontation with police over suspected theft from a vehicle off Nartoff Road, Nashua resident Amber Steeves, 29, was permitted to call for a ride home after being booked at police headquarters.
But once Steeves made that phone call, police filed a third charge — violation of a protective order — because she is prohibited by court order to have any contact with the person she called.
The three charges being misdemeanors, Steeves was scheduled to appear in Nashua district court to answer to the charges. The date of the hearing wasn’t immediately known, nor is her bail status.
Steeves was one of two people arrested last week in connection with the Nartoff Road incident, which was reported by a man who called police upon seeing what looked like people stealing items from his truck.
The truck was parked on a state right of way that runs off Nartoff Road and allows access to the shore of Flint Pond. The man was fishing there at the time, police said.
Upon arrival, officers made contact with the suspects, both of whom were intoxicated, police said. As officers tried to speak with the suspects, they “quickly became agitated, uncooperative, and unruly,” police said.
As a result, the suspects — Steeves, and David Labelle, 69, also of Nashua — were taken into custody.
Labelle was charged with one count each of criminal trespass and resisting arrest. He was booked and later released on personal recognizance bail pending a Nashua district court appearance, police said.
