The Great Milford New Hampshire Crime Wave
Filed under: New Hampshire
There’s a little problem in the town of Milford New Hampshire. We’re in the midst of a crime wave. While it may not be anything to people living in most cities, for a small New Hampshire town this is really ugly.
The police chief says he’s upset about the situation. I’ve never met the chief. I don’t know anything about the guy. However, he’s in charge and he’s literally the one person that can do something about a crime wave. If there’s something he can be doing he should be. If he needs more men on the job then he needs to let the selectmen know that so they can do something. I don’t care at this point but this crime wave must be fixed now.
So far, here’s a list of crimes committed just over the past summer.
A bank robbery at a TD Banknorth, just yesterday.
A machete attack in August
A gun pulled on someone in August.
Multiple arson committed in August.
Bombs planted in July
Illegal gambling by a former Selectman in June.
And those are just the crimes that get their own stories. Here’s a sampling of the police log.
Lynn Amanda Obrien, 24, of 13 Morse Drive in Wilton – disorderly conduct, vandalism, criminal threatening (intimidation, etc.), and simple assault;
Katelny Ann Obrien, 18, of 2 Walmsley Circle – criminal threatening (intimidation, etc.);
Criminal threats by an 18 year old female? I see girls can do anything boys can.
David M. Dunbar, 23, of 118 Page Road in Litchfield – violation and contempt of protective order, obstructing report of crime or injury, vandalism;
From earlier this year we have this police log.
Robert Gutierrez Powell, 18, of 137 Summer Street in Milford was charged with criminal threatening (use of deadly weapon) and simple assault.
Jonah Patrick Welby, 17, of 22A Elm Street in Milford was arrested on a warrant.
Michael J. Tallarico, 17, of 110 Ridgefield Drive in Milford was arrested on a warrant.
Sheila Christy Burkett, 26, of 371 Elm Street, #4, in Milford was arrested on a bench warrant.
What’s with all the young hooligans in town? Heck, I didn’t even print all the idiots that got busted for drinking under the influence or for possession of controlled substances. Arrested on a bench warrant? That means they did a real crime and the state is looking for them. And they all are living in Milford.
There really is a problem in this town and the police have to do something about it. I wish the police chief would let the townspeople know what we can do. Just complaining about the chief without doing anything about it isn’t going to help anything get done, which is why I don’t want to do that. I want to help. But a plan needs to be created to fix this problem and the people should help out. I hope to hear something soon before things get really out of control.

Neighborhood watch groups, if they are used with the cooperation of the police department, work very well. I’ve seen what they can do in neighborhoods where I have lived in California. Maybe we should start something like that here.
The problem I’ve experienced is that each time I have called the police about unruly or suspicious behavior, I get the run-around by the local dispatch. It can be very frustrating when you are trying to be a good citizen and help keep watch on your neighborhood.
