Bedford Police Briefly Advise Neighborhood to Shelter in Place after Gas Intentionally Turned on Inside Residence

No Danger to the Public

BEDFORD, N.H. — Chief John J. Bryfonski reports that the Bedford Police Department issued a shelter in place advisory this afternoon after Bedford Police Officers and Bedford Firefighters responded to a medical call on Galloway Lane.

At approximately 1:10 p.m. on Tuesday, police and fire units responded to Galloway Lane to check on an adult male. Responding police officers and firefighters found a male subject in the garage with a large knife. Officers and firefighters also detected a very strong odor of gas.

Concerned that an explosion could occur, officers and firefighters retreated, established a secure perimeter, evacuated the immediate area and issued a shelter in place advisory.

Bedford Police Officers subsequently approached the scene along with tactically equipped firefighters and determined the subject was deceased and the environment at the scene was safe for first responders.

As soon as the scene was secured the shelter in place advisory was lifted. There is no danger to the public related to this incident which remains under investigation by the Bedford Police Department.

ROCHESTER — Police Chief Paul Toussaint reports that the Rochester Police Department is investigating an apparent act of domestic violence that has resulted in a fatality.

There is no danger to the community, and this does not appear to be a random act. No suspects are at large at this time.

The female was transported to Portsmouth Regional Hospital with serious injuries.

The male was pronounced dead at the scene.

This is an ongoing and active investigation. Further information will be released as it becomes available.

ROCHESTER — Chief Paul Toussaint reports that the Rochester Police Department, after an aggressive investigation, has arrested a suspect in the brutal attack of a young woman outside a local fitness center.

Jordan C. Lamonde, age 22, of Portsmouth was arrested after Rochester Police Detectives responded at 1:30 p.m. Monday afternoon to Portsmouth Regional Hospital.

He has been charged with Second Degree Assault (B Felony).

On June 12, at 10 p.m., the Rochester Police Department responded to Planet Fitness at 306 North Main St. for a reported assault. Upon arrival, officers found an 18-year-old female who told police that she was walking out to her car when she was attacked from behind by an unknown man.

Surveillance footage capturing the first moments of the attack was widely circulated by the Rochester Police Department shortly after the incident.

Lamonde was held on $150,000 cash bail and will be arraigned Tuesday at 11:30 a.m. at Strafford County Superior Court.

“This was a vicious, unprovoked attack that shocked our community, and I am proud to report that the suspect has been identified and apprehended,” Chief Toussaint said.

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

Bedford Police Arrest Driver For Reckless Operation

NOAH HODGES, AGE 18, of MONT VERNON

BEDFORD, N.H. — Chief John J. Bryfonski reports that the Bedford Police Department arrested a man Sunday morning on a charge of reckless operation.

NOAH HODGES, AGE 18, of MONT VERNON was arrested and charged with:

  • Reckless Operation

At approximately 8:20 a.m., Sunday, an officer was conducting traffic enforcement at the intersection of Route 101 and Constitution Drive when he observed a Subaru hatchback driven by HODGES allegedly run a red light on Route 101 while driving more than 50 m.p.h in a 35 m.p.h zone.

The officer began following the vehicle as it traveled onto the Route 101 split and continued to increase in speed as it approached the Plummer Road overpass. The officer then measured the Subaru’s speed at over 90 m.p.h on the highway’s straightaway.

As he continued to follow the vehicle for a short distance, the officer leveled off his speed at 103 m.p.h and maintained a consistent distance between his cruiser and HODGES’ vehicle before closing the gap and pulling him over without further incident.

HODGES was released later Sunday morning on $750 personal recognizance.
