Newburyport Police Arrest Man Who Walked Away From Hospital and Allegedly Attacked Homeowners

NEWBURYPORT — City Marshal Mark Murray reports that the Newburyport Police Department arrested a man after he allegedly ran away naked from Anna Jaques Hospital, broke into a home and attacked a homeowner with a hammer.

ROBERT J. GIRARD, AGE 26, OF AMESBURY was arrested and charged with:

  • Attempted Murder
  • Assault and Battery with a Dangerous Weapon
  • Aggravated Burglary

He was additionally held on a Probation Warrant.

On Thursday, June 14, 2018 at 10:49 p.m., Newburyport Police were dispatched to the Emergency Department at Anna Jaques Hospital, 25 Highland Ave., for a report of a “walk-away” patient — identified as GIRARD —  who allegedly fled the hospital after removing IVs and a GPS monitoring ankle bracelet.

Police began an investigation and started to search for GIRARD.

Then at 2:01 a.m. Friday, officers were called back to the Emergency Department. Upon arrival, officers met a resident of Rawson Avenue, located just feet from the hospital, who stated that a man broke into their homes and attacked her partner with a hammer.

Police located GIRARD on Lois Street, still in a state of undress, and arrested him.

The victim, a 50-year-old Newburyport man, was transported to Anna Jaques Hospital. He was treated and released Friday.

GIRARD was held at the Newburyport Police Department pending his arraignment later Friday in Salem District Court.

These are allegations. All suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty.

NEWPORT — Chief Seth DiSanto is pleased to report that a man wanted by the Newport Police Department in connection with an August business break-in was arrested in Holyoke, Mass. last night.

DANIEL GREENWOOD, AGE 41, whose most recent known addresses are in TROY and COVENTRY, is charged with the following by the Newport Police:

  • Attempted Burglary
  • Unlawful Mischief
  • Attempting to Elude
  • Gross Negligent Operation
  • Excessive Speed
  • Resisting Arrest

GREENWOOD was arrested inside a McDonald’s restaurant in Holyoke Monday night, by a Holyoke Police lieutenant. He is expected to face additional charges in Massachusetts today. Newport Police will then be seeking for him to be extradited back to Vermont.

An arrest warrant was issued for GREENWOOD on Aug. 8, after he allegedly broke into the West Side Deli on Highland Avenue. At approximately 4:42 a.m., an officer was dispatched for a report of a person inside the store. Upon arrival, an officer began searching the area and was joined by an off-duty officer who was passing through the area.

The officers located a man, later identified as GREENWOOD, on one side of the building and attempted to establish a perimeter. GREENWOOD then allegedly emerged from a bush where he had been hiding and ran toward a gold SUV parked nearby. One of the officers attempted to subdue GREENWOOD and ordered him to stop, but GREENWOOD allegedly revved the SUV’s engine and eventually accelerated onto Highland Avenue at a high rate of speed. The officer lost sight of the speeding vehicle, but investigators later located a piece of the vehicle’s front end, including a license plate registered to another vehicle owned by GREENWOOD. 

Chief DiSanto wishes to thank the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Orleans County Sheriff’s Department, the U.S. Marshals Service, Vermont State Police and Holyoke Police for their assistance in the arrest.

“Teamwork by multiple agencies has today resulted in the apprehension of a dangerous fugitive, and I am very grateful for the assistance rendered to the Newport Police Department by our neighbors and partners,” Chief DiSanto said.

These are allegations. All suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty.

Rowley Police Investigating Multiple Burglaries

ROWLEY — Chief Scott A. Dumas reports that the Rowley Police Department is investigating two home burglaries that occurred earlier this week.

On Monday, Oct. 23, at approximately 2:47 p.m., officers responded to a report of a break-in on Boxford Road. Upon arrival, officers spoke with the resident and learned that she had returned home to find a window and door open that had been closed when she’d left earlier in the day.

Officers began an investigation and observed that the screen had been removed from a window near the kitchen door, as well as an open bathroom window with visible hand prints on the windowsill. Officers also noticed that several drawers and cabinets were left open or dumped out throughout the home and that the suspect had paid special attention to jewelry containers. Rowley Police are awaiting a full inventory of missing items from the homeowner. Georgetown Police also assisted in the investigation and processing of the scene.

Neighbors who had been home during the time that the victim was away noted that they had seen a white or beige four-door SUV parked in the driveway.

At approximately 5:36 p.m., Rowley Police received a report of a second break-in on Boxford Road. Responding Officers observed evidence of forced entry at the rear of the home and, while conducting a search of the residence, noticed items strewn about in some rooms, and a bedroom in complete disarray. Rowley Police again requested the assistance of Georgetown Police in processing the scene.

Several pieces of jewelry were later determined to be missing from the second victim’s home.

Given the nature of the two incidents and the proximity of the two homes to one another — less than a quarter mile apart — Rowley Police believe the two break-ins are connected. Both incidents remain under investigation by the Rowley Police Department, which has shared information about the burglaries with fellow law enforcement agencies.

Anyone who believes they may have information about the burglaries is asked to call Rowley Police Sgt. Matthew Ziev at 978-948-7644.
