Officers Take Seven Outstanding Warrants Off the Books

Tewksbury Police cleaned up seven outstanding warrants with two arrests over the past few days.

The first arrest came when Officer Alysia Russo attempted to serve a summons at 42 California Road just before 6 p.m. on Wednesday. While there, she observed a male she knew to have two active warrants connected to him. Russo arrested 31-year-old Nicholas Minichiello of 42 California Road, Tewksbury, on the two warrants.

On Thursday, an officer responding to a medical call was checking out a suspicious vehicle on  Regis Road. The owner of the vehicle came out of a nearby residence and asked if she could help the officer. The officer had the name of the owner of the vehicle run through the computer and learned there were three outstanding warrants for her arrest. Arrested on the warrants was 32-year-old AnnaMarie Damato of 3 Grandview Ave., in Methuen.

Early Friday morning, police went to Motel 6 on Main Street and arrested 38-year-old Shannon Dozois of Winter Street in Lawrence on two outstanding warrants.
