Mass. Man Charged in Citizens Bank Robbery

A Massachusetts man was arraigned Wednesday for allegedly robbing a Citizens Bank branch in Londonderry and later threatening two police officers and spitting on another.

Jason Enwright, 38 of 10 Belair Avenue in Dracut, Mass. is charged with robbery, theft, resisting arrest, two counts of criminal threatening and civil assault.

According to police reports, Enwright allegedly passed the bank teller at the Citizens Bank on Nashua Road a note shortly after 4 p.m. Tuesday telling her to be calm and give him the money. He then allegedly left the bank with $1,428 in cash.

He was later charged with resisting arrest at the Londonderry Police Department after he was apprehended, taking an aggressive and menacing stance toward one of the officers.

Enwright allegedly committed the criminal threatening and civil assault offenses at Parkland Medical Center in Derry just before 7 p.m., after he reportedly spat on one police officer and threatened to kill two others, one from Derry and the other from Londonderry.

During his video arraignment on Wednesday, Enwright was uncooperative throughout, demanding to know where some of the cases were coming from and accussing police of "stacking cases." At one point he mumbled a threat, saying that he "should have punched that guy in the face" in reference to an unknown person.

He also attempted to waive his right to an arraignment while his charges were being read, but later heard all of the charges.

Enwright later demanded that one of the officers with him at the Rockingham County Department of Corrections take his hand off him.

An outstanding electronic bench warrant also remains for Enwright dating back to Nov. 16, 2011, which was issued because he failed to appear in court.

Enwright reportedly carries an extensive criminal past dating back to 1992, having been arrested close to a dozen times on charges including receiving stolen property, theft by deception, larceny, destruction of property and several officer assaults.

According to Judge John Couglin, bail was set at $50,000, cash only, concurrent on three instances, and refraining from possession of any firearm. Bail for the bench warrant is $500 cash only.

Enwright's next court appearance will take place 10 days from now in Merrimack on Dec. 13.
