3:42 p.m.: A past larceny was reported at the Cape Ann Marina and Motel on Essex Avenue. A couple told police they had left $700 to $800 in cash in an envelope under a coffee tray in the room and forgot the envelope when they checked out, according to the police report. After a few hours, they realized they had forgotten the money and returned to the hotel and spoke with the front-desk associate. They searched the room, however, it had already been cleaned and the envelope was missing, the report said. They spoke with the hotel manager and housekeeping manager who questioned her staff who cleaned the room. The staff were unable to locate the money after checking the trash dumpsters. Police spoke with the hotel management and learned that when staff finds items left behind, they are brought to the front desk and secured in a safe or clothing is placed in a lost-and-found box. Staff did not report finding cash in the room. Police then went to speak with the maid who cleaned the room. She told police “she never found any money in the room and appeared genuine.” Her husband and she told police they have worked for the hotel for several years and that their job and citizenship were more important than finding extra cash or some “fancy item.” Police did not have any further leads. Police told the couple of their findings and they seemed to accept the result.

Police advised him that he either needed to be treated by ambulance personnel or he was going to be placed into protective custody because he was heavily intoxicated, the report states. The man refused treatment. As police went to take him into protective custody, the report states he began to pull away and kicked an officer in the shin. Police brought him to the ground and handcuffed him. As he was getting into the cruiser, he reportedly kicked another officer in the left shin.

Police could hear a woman hysterically crying about 100 yards away and saw her waving her arms. They spoke with the man, who told police he did not have a knife and police did not find one on him. They then spoke with a family who said the man started to randomly scream at them and as they passed by, his behavior became violent and he started to chase them and allegedly pulled out a knife with a three-inch blade and threatened them. The family managed to run to safety. Police arrested the man, but after an extensive search, they were unable to locate the knife allegedly used in the incident. He was uncooperative during the booking process and later flooded the cell and threw wet toilet paper all over.
