Middletown Police report the following incidents:

DISORDERLY CONDUCT — On Nov. 27 at 11:34 p.m., Michael Hayes, 39, of Howard Circle, Colerain, N.C., had left on foot from an alleged East Street domestic incident. Diane Damiano, 42, of East Street said her ex-husband of three years was visiting after having intercourse; they fell asleep and the phone rang. Hayes said after sleeping for 15 minutes, he awoke to find Damiano throwing things at him and yelling. His current girlfriend was reportedly on the phone so he got dressed and left; he said he never touched her while she was throwing things at him. Both were arrested for disorderly conduct.

VIOLATION PROTECTIVE ORDER — On Nov. 27 at 9:47 a.m., Herman Cameron, 35, of Frazier Avenue had texted his child’s mother (“call me asap”) and called her cell phone at 8:49 a.m. despite a restraining order. He said the text was an accident, he meant to text a friend who was picking him up for church. He admitted to calling her but hung up the phone.

THREATENING — On Nov. 27, police were called to Chamberlain and Elizabeth roads on a disturbance in which group home residents had to restrain James L. Brown, 28, of Chamberlain Road because he was out of control. When police entered the Alliance Group Home, Brown allegedly saw them and said, “you mother [expletive] called the cops,” then to police, “I don’t like cops; get the [expletive] out of my way.” He then told those present, “I am going to kill you mother [expletive] when the cops leave,” then repeated it, the report says. When an officer asked if he meant it, he replied, “Yeah, I’m going to kill everyone then call you and be like, ‘you got to come back here because everyone is dead,’ then I’m going to kill you, too.” When asked by police if he had a plan, the report says, he responded, “when you leave I’m going to get a knife out of the kitchen and kill everyone.” The staff member allegedly told police he suffered from mental retardation and that there were no additional services for him. Back at headquarters, Brown reportedly said what he had done wrong was hit the car and threatening people. In 2009, he was arrested for disorderly conduct and third-degree assault, the report indicates.

He then shoved McNeil into a brick wall. Officers smelled alcohol on him and he refused to be pat down. She said they were dating and he shoved her because they couldn’t agree on what to do for the evening. Falls reportedly was aggressive, yelling at officers he had just gotten beat up and they were “rookies.” He said he would “bust their [expletive]s” if they were not cops and didn’t have their “boys” with them. He said he had just gotten out of jail, the report says. McNeil was found with an outstanding warrant from Cromwell, second-degree failure to appear. Falls, who was arrested for the above, took his shirt off at headquarters and threatened officers.

A witness confirmed the story. The mother said John is crazy, needs medicine and she wants him admitted to a psychological hospital. Both were arrested.
