PORTSMOUTH — Here are some highlights from the Portsmouth police log over the past week.
Monday, July 15
Philip L. Clement, 47, of 434 Park Ave., was charged with disorderly conduct (making loud/disturbing noise) and resisting arrest at about 9:25 p.m. Police responded to a Park Avenue residence after a woman there complained of a man — identified as Mr. Clement — who kept walking onto her property. Police found Mr. Clement at a nearby home and warned him to stay off the woman’s property. Shortly afterward, police observed Mr. Clement yelling obscenities about “cops” near the Island Tab bar. Police warned him to keep his voice down, but he continued yelling, according to police. Upon being told he was under arrest, Mr. Clement kept resisting and was warned he could be tazered, according to police. He still resisted, however, so a stun gun was used on his lower back, police said.
