Stratford - Police Blotter

On April 19, police responded to North Acre Place on a report of harassing communications. When police were on the front porch, a male resident walked by the responding officer, brushing against the officer’s shoulder. The officer reported that he could hear the person, later identified as Victor Rosa, 20, of North Acre Place speak under his breath, “F%$@ this place,” and continue past the officer. The officer entered the house and spoke to the complainant about the harassing phone calls being received at the residence when another house member told the officer that Rosa had allegedly just thrown two rocks at the officer’s patrol car. Police confronted Rosa, who said yes he had thrown the rocks and then allegedly said, “do what you have to do, arrest me. I don’t care.” At that, police handcuffed Rosa, who said he was mad at his housemates, which prompted his outburst. The officer said the patrol car did not sustain much damage. Rosa was charged with criminal and was held in $500 bond pending an April 27 court date.
