Concord Heights Woman Arrested On Assault, Deadly Weapon Charges

CONCORD, NH ? A woman from Concord is facing several charges after a knife threat and assault incident last month on the Heights.

Around 8:30 p.m. on April 7, police were dispatched to Regency Estates, located at 12 East Side Drive, for a report of a woman having issues with a man inside a vehicle. Dispatch reported a ?language barrier? with the caller.

Two officers arrived, and one spoke with a woman, identified as Eneida Torres, 63, of East Side Drive. She said two other people were involved in the incident, two men in a vehicle in the parking lot.

The reporting officer spoke to the men ? one was in his early 60s and the other was in his late 50s, with both accusing Torres of coming at the younger man with a knife. The reporting officer gave the information to the other officer and then spoke with both men separately. The man in his 60s, the officer said, had a red mark on the right side of his face, on his cheek, and he was bleeding. The man stated he and Torres had been dating for approximately 15 years. The other man, a relative, also lived with him in the apartment.

The man said an argument ensued over who would watch the two small dogs, as she wanted to go shopping, according to an affidavit. The man accused her of picking up the knife, the affidavit said. He said they continued arguing, and then she scratched his face, the report stated. His relative came into the dining room area and she approached him, ?swaying the knife back and forth,? the affidavit said.

The man accused Torres of moving ?the knife in an underhanded swaying motion towards the top of (his relative?s) neck where it meets his chin with the blade facing (the man).? He added it appeared she almost struck him, the report said, and the other man fell.

The officer spoke with the relative, who said he approached the couple after overhearing them argue about the dogs. He accused Torres of holding the knife while striking the other man in the face and then, coming toward him with the knife, waving it back and forth. They were very close to each other, he told the officer in the report.

?I?m gonna stab you,? Torres was accused of saying to the relative.

As she got closer, she swung the knife in an underhanded motion toward the top of his neck area where it meets his chin, the officer wrote in the affidavit after speaking with the victim.

After falling to the ground, the man said he feared for his life and believed she was going to strike him with the knife, the affidavit said.

The officer reported the victim appeared to have a small cut mark on his neck that was bleeding.

Both men also described the knife to the officer.

After a consent search of the apartment, the victim pointed out the knife on the dining room table.

Torres was charged with domestic violence-simple assault, simple assault, second-degree assault, and criminal threatening-deadly weapon.
