Arrest Made for October Litchfield Burglary


submitted by Litchfield Police Department
On April 6 an arrest warrant was issued for William J. Kittredge, 39, of Litchfield, for the
crimes of burglary, criminal trespass and breach of bail conditions. The warrant is the result
of an incident that took place in October of 2016. Police initially responded to a burglary in
progress where the reporting party stated a male entered his home through a rear window.
When confronted by the reporting party, the male subject fled the scene. After investigators
processed the scene, they recovered a hat that was located inside the home as well as clothing
in a wooded area adjacent to the residence. These items were secured and sent to the state
crime lab for DNA comparison with William J. Kittredge, who had been identified as a suspect.

The results indicated that Kittredges DNA was present on the hat and clothing. On April 7,
Kittredge turned himself in to the Litchfield Police Department. Bail was set at $10,000 cash
or surety and he was transported to Hillsborough County Department of Corrections. Kittredge
was set to be arraigned in the 9th Circuit Court Merrimack Division on Monday April 10.

Lenten tradition of giving back to the community, the preschool
children hosted a book drive for the sick children in the area. A
representative from St. Joseph Hospital in Nashua, Jim Walters,
came to visit with the PMA preschool children. Mr. Walters
explained to the students that the patients come for all different
reasons and that sharing the new books will bring lots of smiles.
The young scholars were very excited to show their bumps

a lesson that the young ages of three and four could relate to. It
was wonderful for the students to actually hand off the books

to collect fifty new books. The total came to 100 and they are
thrilled!

Cougar Softball is Ready to Play

Over the past week, your HLN was invited for two different types of
preseason practices. On Thursday it was interesting to see how many
skill sets were being tested in the Cougar Den; the rain outside had kept
most high school teams confined inside so far this year, but on Sunday
the sun was shining and there was a multi-team preseason scrimmage
at the Darrah Pond complex. From D3 there was White Mountain
Regional and Campbell; the ladies from Windham brought their bats,
they play in D2 and coming from just down the road where the Broncos

We have incorporated multiple drills to achieve these goals.
