News and Information from the Salem Observer

Alleged Pelham burglar presented business card to victim

A business card given to the victim of a home break-in by the intruder led to the arrest of a Pelham man.

Damon Bonnell, 31, was charged with felony burglary. On Oct. 19, a woman told police that she was home alone and heard someone knocking on her front door. She was not expecting anyone, so she decided to not answer the door. A short time later, she heard knocking on her back door, then knocking on her basement door. When she went to take a look around, she found a man inside her home.

She said that when she confronted the man, he was startled and at first said he was new to the neighborhood and was selling a car. After the homeowner said she was not interested, the intruder told her he worked on computers and handed her a business card. After again telling him she was not interested, the man left.

Police later found evidence that lead them to believe that the suspect had made a forced entry into the home. Police followed up with the company listed on the business card and arrested Bonnell.

Bonnell was taken into custody on Friday, Nov. 7, and was held on $100,000 cash bail. He is currently being held at Valley Street Jail in Manchester. His arraignment was set for on Nov. 10 at Salem District Court.
