MANCHESTER, NH — Community Policing Officer’s Justin Maguire and Ed Devereaux were patrolling the bicycle path on the city’s West Side on August 14 at approximately 1:30 p.m. when they observed a man allegedly injecting a woman with heroin, with a baby stroller parked nearby.
The officers encountered Jose Arroyo Castillo, 28, and Chelsea Kiman, 23, both of Manchester, sitting on a rock along the bike path facing each other, a baby stroller nearby with their 4-month-old infant inside. The officers witnessed Arroyo Castillo tie something around Kiman’s arm as he uncapped a needle.
The officers made contact with the couple and witnessed Arroyo Castillo throw the needle into a nearby purse. They also witnessed him throwing additional items on the ground in an attempt to conceal or destroy evidence. They retrieved a syringe loaded with heroin from Kiman’s purse. They also located a small white rope and a spoon containing cooked heroin.
