Tiverton Mother Falsely Accuses Daughter of Assault

Motherly Love

Helen M. Keszyinki, 56, of 730 Winwood Drive Apt. 207, was arrested on Friday, May 3, at 11:51 a.m. and charged with filing a false report of a crime.

Keszyinki allegedly lied to Tiverton police about a conflict with her daughter and claimed her daughter stole money from her. Keszyinki made allegations that her daughter physically assaulted her and stole several hundred dollars, but after police spoke with the daughter - who had an alibi for the alleged time of the crime - it was clear that Keszyinki was lying. 

Keszyinki was arrested and processed at Tiverton police headquarters where she was later released on a summons to appear for arraignment in Second Division District Court on May 9.

Bad for Business

Business between two Tiverton men turned sour on Monday, May 6, when Peter A. Gloddy, 36, of 195 Crandall Road, Tiverton, was arrested at 8:44 p.m. and charged with simple assault.

According to reports, Gloddy drove to the home of a business associate on Persimmon Drive at about 8 p.m., and allegedly threatened bodily harm.

Upon arrival, Gloddy allegedly struck a 23-year-old male in the face and broke his sunglasses before taking off in his truck and returning home. Gloddy was arrested, charged and released from police headquarters on a summons to appear for arraignment in Second Division District Court on May 16.
