Party-Goers Charged With Assaulting Police
Swampscott, Salem and State Police helped Marblehead officers at the scene of an early morning party on Green Street. A third person was later charged by police with assault, as well.
A Green Street party spun out of control early Sunday leading to multiple arrests and charges as police from surrounding towns and state police responded to help local officers restore order.
Lisa Mkusa-Lane, 39, 118 Green St. Apt. #B, Marblehead was charged with two counts of assault and battery on a police officer, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, disturbing the peace and threatening to commit a crime, the police log incident entry states.
Josue Francois, 24, 600 Boston St., Lynn, was charged with two counts of assault and battery on a police officer, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and threatening to commit a crime, the log states.
Yolanda R. Charles, 31, 100 Henry Ave., Lynn was charged with three counts of assault on a police officer, a count of unlawful wiretapping and failure to disclose a wiretap, the report states.
The incident unfolded at 3:25 a.m. Sunday with a caller reporting what sounded like a serious argument at 118 Green St.
Marblehead police responded and reported that things were quieting down.
But a second caller subsequently reported that the party was continuing, the log states.
Marblehead units at the scene requested additional officers. A Marblehead officer was sprayed and requested water, the log states.
Officers from Swampscott and Salem police responded to Green Street.
State police responded, as well.
Later, back at the Marblehead Police Station, two people came into the lobby to leave money for Mkusa-Lane and asked to speak with the officer in command.
One of the individuals was argumentative and was asked to leave multiple times, police said.
Yolanda Charles continued to argue and was audiotaping and videotaping the discussion in the lobby, the log states.
Charles was taken into custody and charged.
The log also states that a prisoner was taken to Salem Hospital and that a nurse was assaulted.
Patch will report additional information as it becomes available.

This whole situation wouldn't of happend if the police used lawful actions instead of busting in the door of a grown woman's house like they're a gang and arresting her no Miranda rights and no explanation the police were way out of line and should've just said quiet down ...

Does anything respectable happen at 3:25am? The police shouldn't have to babysit adults. They should be responsible and respectful enough to keep it down at that hour. Please tell me what did the nurse at Salem Hospital did that warranted an assault? I'm sure she is to blame for that too...

Don't need Miranda unless there is custody AND interrogation.

The Police only break down the door if no one answers. They need to answer the door next time and don't even try to play race card. They screwed up and now have to pay the price.

Race card? What color are their uniforms? I bet if it was firefighter they would pull out affirmative action cards. Let the police do their work and criminal do what they do best and get arrested.

Lovely. Why do people like this live in Marblehead? This isn't Lynn. Seriously. Isn't that really the question here. And this comment has NOTHING to do with race. It has everything to do with acting responsibly. If you want to act like fools, cause problems and ignore REPEATED attempts by your neighbors and the Police to show some respect at 3:30 in the morning, then you get what you get. Doesn't sound like any "grown women" I know. Wow.

Many thanks to Dr. Haley (Nahant) and his ilk for throwing up those slums in the 60's. As for those arrested and the people defending them: if you act like a**h*les you get treated accordingly, I don't care what your race, ethnic or economic backgrounds are. Too bad the police didn't give them a beat-down while they were at it.

Ya, the gestapo crashed through the doors at 345 in the morning because they were bored? Give me a break! Salem, Swampscott, and State police were all there because Marblehead PD called them because the place was out of control. Nothing good happens after midnight,
