(Deerfield, MA) An area resident had quite the scare earlier this month when he we awoke to the sound of someone breaking off his screen door trying to get in. The suspect then attempted to kick in his front door, and finally tried to gain access to the home through the air conditioner window. The suspect fled when the homeowner exited from the other door. A description and a license plate allowed Deerfield Police officers Dylan Husted, Gary Siblia, and Andrew Habel to track the vehicle near the Red Roof Inn. The investigation was lead by Sergeant Brian Ravish and Detective Adam Sokoloski. The suspect, Michael Mesick of Springfield, was placed under arrest and arraigned in Greenfield District Court. Mesick was charged with vandalism, disorderly conduct, and a felony charge of breaking and entering during the daytime.
