An 18-year-old man has been arrested by Dedham police and faces numerous charges after police responded to a report of a housebreak in violation of a restraining order, according to the Dedham Transcript.
Charges against Dennis Rogers Jr. include violating a restraining order; assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, to wit a door; breaking and entering in the daytime for a felony, placing a person in fear; receiving stolen property over $250; and assault and battery. Massachusetts domestic assault cases frequently involve restraining orders, which prevent a defendant from going near a victim or otherwise making contact through telephone, e-mail or other forms of communication.
Police responding to a Farrington Avenue address reported Rogers started running through several backyards and jumping fences. Several residents pointed officers in Rogers' direction and he was arrested in the backyard of a Crest Avenue home, according to police. The victim reported that she returned home to find food missing from the refrigerator, money missing from her son's wallet and a GPS unit missing from the pantry.
She reported that she confronted Rogers on the street and he began pushing her. She took the items from him and he chased her back to the house, police reported. She told police he hit her several times with the door as she was trying to shut him out of the house. He then began chasing her through the house and pushing over furniture, until she managed to call police.
Rogers pleaded not guilty in Dedham District Court and is due back in court on April 27.
