An Allenstown man is facing eight criminal charges after allegations that he tussled with Manchester police officers in a Manchester Dunkin’ Donuts parking lot after driving while intoxicated and threatening to beat up store customers.

Anthony Renfrew Jr., 29, of 12 Mark Drive, Allenstown, who’s listed on the state’s habitual offender list, is out on $7,500 cash bail after a Monday, Dec. 4, arraignment at Manchester District Court.

Police said they found Renfrew, 29, whose license had been revoked, spinning the tires of a 2003 Nissan Xterra and fishtailing in the Dunkin’ Donuts parking lot off Webster Street.

Manchester police officer Walter Feldhouse asked Renfrew for his license and registration before noticing Renfrew smelled like an alcoholic beverage and had red and glassy eyes, according to an affidavit penned by Feldhouse.

Feldhouse said Renfrew eventually pinned him against the Nissan, grabbed his neck and asked, “What are you going to do, shoot me? Gonna shoot me?” said Feldhouse.

Police said Renfrew also punched Feldhouse in the face and broke his “83” pin, which Manchester police officers have been wearing in memory of slain officer Michael Briggs. Several officers joined the fray, said Renfrew, each of whom were punched, forearmed or kneed by Renfrew, Feldhouse said.

Police eventually subdued Renfrew using strikes and spray, and he was seen by emergency medical technicians at police headquarters, the affidavit states.

Police interviewed two men who said they were being harassed by Renfrew inside the Dunkin’ Donuts, and that Renfrew threatened to beat them up.

Renfrew is scheduled for a probable cause hearing at Manchester District Court for the felony charge of driving while being a habitual offender.

Renfrew is scheduled to face trial for seven misdemeanor charges – including driving while intoxicated, resisting arrest, criminal threatening, reckless conduct and three counts of simple assault – on Feb. 13.

A condition of Renfrew’s bail says he is to avoid excessive alcohol use.
