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.
