DUI
Police charged Russell Christopher Ouellette, 61, of 235 Purchase St., Fall River, Mass., with driving under the influence and refusing a chemical test June 21 at 12:12 a.m.

Police said Ouellete was stopped after an officer on patrol on Park Avenue near Norsman Drive saw him drift over the lane divider.

Once stopped, Ouellete told police he had four or five beers before failing a field sobriety test.

He was taken into custody without incident and later released on $1,000 personal recognizance. He was scheduled to appear in court on June 26.

ASSAULT
Police charged a 16-year-old juvenile with felony assault with a dangerous weapon June 21 after they were dispatched to an area house for a report of a teenager threatening her parents with a knife.

Police said the girl scared her family so much they called police, who took her into custody without incident.

The matter will be adjudicated in Family Court.

DOMESTIC
Police charged Michael William Gaudreau, 39, of 479 Park Ave., Portsmouth, with disorderly conduct and felony narcotics possession on June 23 for a June 19 incident in which he allegedly yelled at another man and woman he reportedly didn’t like seeing together.

Police said they were dispatched to Gaudreau’s residence at around 9:30 p.m. for a report of a disturbance.

The aforementioned woman reportedly went to the house with a male friend to pick up her mother’s cell phone. The woman didn’t realize Gaudreau would be home and was surprised to see him when she entered the house.

Gaudreau then reportedly followed the woman back out and threatened the man in the car.

Gaudreau then left the scene after being picked up by an unknown car before police arrived.

Police took Gaudreau into custody on June 23 at around 4 p.m. after an officer on patrol saw him in his back yard.

During a search at police headquarters, police said they found a Suboxone pill, which led to the felony drug charge. 

DOMESTIC
Police charged Robert Francis McManus, 44, of 45 Molleur Road, Portsmouth, with domestic simple assault on June 23 at 10:50 p.m.

Police said McManus allegedly grabbed a woman’s arm, pushed her to the floor and pushed her into a shelf.

Police said the victim suffered a variety of injuries.

UNDERAGE POSSESSION
Portsmouth Police charged two men with underage possession of alcohol after police came upon them inside a car with open beers after they stopped on the Common Fence Point Access Road for a pee break.

Police said an officer on patrol at around 7:05 p.m. saw a car parked in the travel lane next to Montaup Golf Course.

Inside were Andrew J. DeCotis, 19, of 414 Bulgarmarsh Road, Tiverton; and Jesse P. Greene, 20, of New Bedford, Mass, and the officer could see an open bottle of Budweiser on the passenger side floor.

Police also found a three-quarters full bottle of Samuel Adams on the front passenger floor of the car.

Both men admitted drinking the alcohol while in the car but police noted the keys were not in the ignition and the car was cold to the touch. The driver, DeCotis, also showed no signs of impairment.

Police towed the car and seized the beer and beer bottles as evidence.

Greene was charged with underage possession of alcohol and was released later that night.

DeCotis, along with the possession charge, was also cited for transporting alcohol as a minor.
