The incident at Hess

Officer Scott Fanjoy was dispatched to Walker Street for a report of a fight on Aug. 31 about 5:40 p.m.

Upon arriving, Fanjoy found two cars stopped in the middle of the street with a large group of people arguing in front of an apartment.

Fanjoy spoke to Salvatore Marcellino, 41, of Concord and asked what happened. Marcellino told Fanjoy that he and his girlfriend were at the Hess gas station on Main Street when he saw a man, later identified as 20-year-old Sean Deshnaw of Concord, looking into his car.

Marcellino told Fanjoy he asked Deshnaw what he was looking at and Deshnaw replied, “I am crying over my kids,” the report said. “The two then exchanged words and they separated. Salvatore said that he was pulling out of the Hess station when Sean pulled up to the rear driver’s side of his car and began revving his engine.”

Marcellino told the police Dashnaw struck the rear bumper of his vehicle with his own car and drove off. Marcellino said he followed him and told his girlfriend to call the police.
The couple said they followed Dashnaw onto Walker Street and that Dashnaw slammed on his brakes, the report said. Marcellino told the police he was unable to stop in time and hit the vehicle.

Marcellino told the police he walked over to Dashnaw’s door, opened it and grabbed him and was then grabbed from behind and put into a “full nelson” by an unknown male, the report said. Marcellino told the police Deshnaw exited the car and punched him in the face. He was eventually able to get free, ran after Deshnaw, dragged him down an alley and punched him, according to the report.

“Deshnaw denied any involvement in the accident and stated that the vehicles never came near each other,” Fanjoy wrote. The police observed damage to both vehicles that was consistent with Marcellino’s story, the report said.

Both men were released on $4,000 personal recognizance. Marcellino was charged with driving after revocation and simple assault and is due in court Sept. 29. Dashnaw was charged with conduct after an accident and simple assault.

Daggers and swords

Officer Ryan St. Cyr was dispatched to Perley Street for a report of a fight on Sept. 4 about 11 p.m.

Upon arrival, St. Cyr spoke with a neighbor, who told the police there had been a disagreement between two neighbors in the Perley Street duplex. The police made contact with 44-year-old Howard Driggers of Concord and his girlfriend.

Dispatch informed the police that Driggers had “a lengthy criminal record including felony convictions, and that there was an NCIC (National Crime Information Center) hit on Driggers” in Florida, the report said.

St. Cyr went into the residence and observed several weapons, he wrote, including a dagger with a dragon handle, a shotgun, two sets of swords, a curved bladed dagger with a dragon wing handle, a camouflage case with bow and arrows inside, and a folding knife with a wolf head case.

Asked where the weapons came from, Driggers told the police that the swords, daggers and folding knife were purchased at the Dollar Store on Fisherville Road and were for decorative purposes only, the report said.

“Howard stated the swords were so dull that one would not be able to even cut butter” with them.

Driggers also told the police that his girlfriend was “into dragons, which is why he had purchased daggers with dragons on them,” St. Cyr wrote.

Driggers told the police the shotgun did not work and had belonged to his deceased father. He said he purchased the bow for hunting purposes, “but has yet to use it,” the report said.

Driggers was arrested on charges of a felon being in possession of a dangerous weapon and released on $10,000 personal recognizance. He is due in court Oct. 6.
