| Remember when grannies baked cookies... PORTSMOUTH -- A Boston grandmother had been smoking crack Friday night before the car she was riding in crashed into a Seabrook police cruiser, sped up Route 1 at 100 miles-per-hour, then crashed into a tree on Elwyn Road, police allege. Wonder if she had one of them "Ask Me About My Grandchildren" vanity plates? The grandmother, Monique Sadberry, 40,
Must've met them at an antique shop... According to police, a crack pipe and crack-laced cigarettes were later found in the crashed car. ...and bags and bags of butterscotch candy. Sadberry is charged with two felony counts of drug possession, and Class B misdemeanor counts of possession of drug paraphernalia and false reports to law enforcement. During the Feb. 8 video arraignment, prosecutor Karl Durand told the court Sadberry has nine known aliases and a criminal history including convictions for larceny, drug possession and auto theft. Sadberry requested the services of a public defender, said she is on probation and resides with her two teenage children and a grandchild. She said she has no job and collects social security. Other then that, she's a pillar of the community...
Sounds like THE MAN! has it in for her... Also arraigned Monday was alleged codefendant Linda Estrella, 44, of 15 Chase St., Dorchester. The court learned that both Sadberry and Estrella had previously given police wrong addresses. Oooooooops...sorry. Police allege Estrella was riding in the back of the car during the Friday night pursuit, fled the scene after crashing in Elwyn Park, then hid under a resident's porch. After another resident told police someone had run across his front lawn, a police dog tracked to the porch and Estrella was found with her hands in the air, according to a police affidavit. During a police pat-down, Estrella was found in possession of a five dollar bill folded around a quantity of cocaine, according to police. She is charged with a felony count of drug possession and a Class B count of resisting arrest. During her Monday video arraignment, Estrella said she lives with her three children and fiance and is unable to post high cash bail. Prosecutor Rena DiLando told the court Estrella had an ID card and checks under a false name, has ten aliases, four social security numbers and a criminal history involving thefts and drugs. But...I'm turning my life around, ya honor, starting...right now!
The alleged driver, Jacqueline Trottman, 43, of 3 Stockton St., Dorchester, is charged with a felony count of drug possession and misdemeanor counts of resisting arrest, disobeying an officer, conduct after an accident and possession of drugs in a motor vehicle. She is also charged with violation-level counts of reckless operation and driving after suspension. Police allege she drove through "several" red lights at speeds up to 100 miles-per-hour with her headlights out, while a police cruiser was behind her with a siren and blue lights activated. Prosecutor Karl Durand told the court Trottman has criminal records in four states, eight aliases, five social security numbers and two dates of birth. Her criminal history includes convictions for forgery, fraud, larceny and drugs, he said. But I'm "good people", your honor. Ask anybody! "I wasn't the only one in the motor vehicle and I wasn't found inside the motor vehicle," Trottman said during her arraignment. "My codefendants are detoxing and I'm not detoxing." Yeah, I ain't no hypocrite like them bitches! I love crack! Trottman asked for low bail so she could be released to care for an ailing parent. Awwwwwwww...what a loving, caring daughter. I'm sure mom and dad are gonna miss her. Judge Gardner denied the request, maintaining bail at $25,000 cash and scheduled Trottman to return to the court for a Feb. 18 probable cause hearing. The women's arrest followed a two-hour manhunt in the Elwyn Park neighborhood Friday night by officers from Portsmouth, Rye, New Castle, Stratham, State Police and the Strafford County Sheriff's Department. Lt. Mark Newport said that while Lt. Russell Russo was pursuing the car, other Portsmouth officers set up stop sticks near the Route 1 Bypass. Instead of traveling in that direction, the women turned onto Elwyn Road, where the Toyota they were riding in was found crashed into the tree. Mugs at the link. This is not the cast of "Cougartown"... Police initially believed the speeding car was linked to an armed carjacking which occurred earlier in the afternoon in North Hampton, but later determined the incidents were unrelated. Well, at least they got that going for them... | |||

| #4 The headline is misleading but made me chuckle . I had images of a cracked up ' driving miss daisy' before I stupidly clicked the link . Shoulda just left it at that! I thought, "It can't be that bad", so I followed the link. Talk about 40 miles of bad road... I've got relatives that look like that, but theirs is from hard work and low pay (mostly farm hands). |
