ORANGE — A New Haven man who was arrested Wednesday for allegedly trying to resell stolen items at an area game store was arrested again the next day for allegedly assaulting the person he believed turned him in for the previous crime.
According to police, officers responded to Game X Change, 116 Boston Post Road, around 6:30 p.m. Wednesday regarding a report of a customer selling a stolen Play Station 4(PS4) console.
Upon arrival, police said, officers came into contact with Carlos K. Rivera-Rodriguez, 21 of New Haven, who had just made a profit of $175 by exchanging stolen goods. When advised he was under arrest, Rivera-Rodriguez allegedly began to fight with police officers on scene and refused to get into the police vehicle. Police said he also caused severe damage to one of the police vehicles. Subsequently, he was taken into custody and charged with sixth-degree larceny by possession, first-degree criminal mischief, interfering/resisting arrest and assault of peace officer.
He was held on a $25,000 bond and was scheduled to appear in court Thursday.
But shortly after 8 p.m. on Thursday, police said, Rivera-Rodriguez allegedly returned to the Game X Change to attack one of the store clerks he believed turned him in for selling stolen goods. Police were called and, when arrived, Rivera-Rodriguez reportedly tried to fee, but was taken into custody.
He was charged with second-degree threatening, second-degree breach of peace and first-degree violation of condition of release.
Rivera-Rodriguez was held on a $1,000 bond and appeared in court on Friday, when his case was continued to July 26.
