A Haskell Street resident and her attorney told police Friday at 12:42 p.m. that they would be seeking a complaint for domestic assault and battery against the woman's stepdaughter.

The complaint follows an April 3 incident in which the woman's stepdaughter, April Martin, 25, of 24 Haskell St., shoved her though a set of French doors.

Police had arrested the reporting woman, Patricia Martin, 48, also of 24 Haskell St., in the same incident, after she allegedly hit April Martin in the neck with a bowl. April Martin was not initially charged.

Police responded to a report at 11:54 p.m. Thursday of an unruly patient at Addison Gilbert Hospital's emergency room.

Officers tried to restrain him, and Brooks struck one in the face. Police arrested Brooks on charges of assault and battery and disorderly conduct. The police report also described Brooks as being "aggressive" and "irrational" during the arrest and booking.

Officers responded to a report of a man threatening to kill himself Thursday at 5:07 p.m. The man had called police and said that, because they wouldn't help throw his son out of his house, he was going to kill himself.

A Pleasant Street woman called police Thursday at 6:12 p.m. to tell police she received a call asking for $299 in cash and telling her a company would send her a $5,000 check by mail.
