JACKSON – A man allegedly assaulted a woman and threatened to kill her and people in her household before driving to a police station to file a report.
John Corallo, 61, of Manchester, was charged with Burglary, Making Terroristic Threats, Criminal Mischief, Cyber Harassment, Assault, and Defiant Trespassing, police said.
Charges are merely accusations until proven in a court of law.
According to police, Corallo went to a New Central Avenue home at around 6 p.m. on December 28. Police were called there for the report of an assault in progress but he had left the scene before officers arrived. Corallo had travelled to Manchester Police Department. He was in the lobby seeking to file a report. Jackson officers went there and arrested him.
According to witnesses at the New Central Avenue location, Corallo came to the residence because he was familiar with a woman who was there. He allegedly knocked on the door but forced his way into the home and began to assault her. As she struggled to push him out of the door, he grabbed her and threw her down the outside steps into the walkway. Upon leaving, he made threats to come back and kill the victim and others present.
The victim had visible injuries when police arrived, they said.
The investigation into the incident was continued by Officers Stephen Cilento and Doug Thompson.
