Kid grew up in Groveland.
again – from 2014: Hayden L. Delafuente, 18, 491 Washington St., first floor, Haverhill; and a 17-year-old juvenile were arrested Sunday at 2:12 a.m. and charged with disorderly conduct. Officers Leavitt, Dellaria and Robert Ferullo made the arrests at the Knotty Pine Motel, Beach Road.
Could maybe someone in the court system wake up and keep this kid behind bars permanently?
Hey COB, that $475,000.00 the State of Massachusetts is spending to provide economic and social opportunity in the Washington Street neighborhood is working great, isn’t it?
Hey, Mayor….here’s your chance for a new photo opp….you should give out two trees to every homeowner in the Washington Street area to further mask the reality of what is happening there. The ones you’ve already given out don’t seem to be doing the job.
Jack my Man. This kid is a product go Groveland. Been in trouble since a youth.
Agreed Jack – perhaps this boy and others like him are simply suffering from the terrible effects of……”climate change”.
This kid sounds like a real winner maybe keep him in jail for awhile, increase the median IQ in the city – from January 2016: Hayden Delafuente, 20, of 491 Washington St, Haverhill, was arrested by Haverhill police at 2:33 p.m., Thursday. He was charged with driving with a suspended license, marked lanes violation and a self identification violation.
Fruits of Mayor Jimmy’s plan to invite as many low income, uneducated, state dependent residents as possible. Then, stuff the offspring of the very same into our already overcrowded classrooms and then wonder why performance so bad.
Agreed, Duncan!!!
