Facebook Sparks Teen Feud on Robinson Avenue

Facebook drama spilled over into real life and a vandal cut the waterline to a Lincoln Street Home. We break down the Portsmouth Police Chief’s Daily Briefing. 

Family Feuds 

  • Police responded to Walnut Street at 3 am for a report of a blow-up involving a longstanding couple whose frequent arguments often involve the police. The caller reported a woman came to the house asking for help and then began arguing with the man and throwing things. The man left but the woman was still there. However, she left before the police arrived. 
  • At 3:30 am, a brother called police to the Woodbine Apartments to report his brother beating on his doors and making threats. The angry brother was gone by the time police arrived.
  • A Kendall Avenue caller contacted police at 4:42 am to report that he and his wife were arguing and wanted to leave, but she wouldn’t let him have his things. Police determined it was a civil dispute and the man left the property. 

Suspicious Activity

  • Just before 6 am, a Highland Avenue caller reported a man screaming. The guy was gone by the time police arrived. 
  • A 3rd Street caller reported a man going through boxes near Community Action. He then dropped the boxes and walked away. Police could not locate him. 

Breaking and Entering

A man contacted police at 10 am to report someone broke in and stole items from two vacant homes he was renovating on 7th Street.

Police said he has work permits for the two condemned homes. It appeared someone took the boards from the homes and got inside. Police took information for a report.
