Gloucester Police/Fire: Newburyport man charged in alleged car breaks

By Stephanie Bergman Staff Writer The Gloucester Daily Times Wed Apr 11, 2012, 05:53 AM EDT

A 20-year-old Newburyport man was arrested on charges of breaking into cars, with at least four car breaks reported off Eastern Avenue.

Nicholas Mazza, 20, of Washington Street in Newburyport, was arrested at 3:30 a.m. Tuesday. Mazza was allegedly seen breaking into a car on Hartz Street, then was stopped by police while he was walking on Bass Avenue.

Police allegedly found a bag of coins, several dollars, GPS units, an iPod, a lighter and electronics in Mazza's possession, along with a bag of marijuana.

Mazza was charged with two counts of larceny from a motor vehicle, malicious destruction of property, resisting arrest and possession of a Class D substance.

Police arrested four men with outstanding warrants Monday.

Steven Cieplik, 50, of Warner Street, was arrested at 4:47 p.m. Monday outside of his home.

Eric Aitken, 53, homeless, was arrested at 5:44 p.m. Monday on Main Street.

Samuel Parisi, 20, of Gaffney Street, was arrested at his home at 8:31 p.m. Monday.

Eugene Graham, 44, of Trask Street, was arrested at his home at 10:08 p.m. Monday.

Police said a Western Avenue woman came into the police station at 4:41 p.m. Monday to report that she was feuding with her neighbor over the neighbor's treatment of a dog.

The woman told police she wanted the incident on record.

An apparently misdialed 911 led a Washington Street man to threaten a police dispatcher, police said.

According to police, the man called 911, then yelled at the officer who answered, saying "you're having sex with my girlfriend."

When police responded to the address, the man said he thought he had called his girlfriend and became enraged when he heard a man's voice answer. No charges were filed.
