NEWTON, N.H. — Over the weekend, Officer Addonizio of the Newton Police Department responded to a domestic disturbance at a residence previously known to police. Because he was the only officer on duty at the time, Officer Addonizio immediately requested backup. Officer Rodolakis from the East Kingston Police Department responded to assist.

After a thorough on-scene investigation, Ryan Howard was taken into custody and charged with Domestic Violence Simple Assault for assaulting a family member. According to the department, the case is scheduled for arraignment on Tuesday, November 18, at the Brentwood District Court.
