I ON THE COURT
Nantucket Court Report
The man police suspect may have set fire to Harbor Master Dave Fronzuto's vehicle on Oct. 4 was arraigned in Monday's District Court and released on $1,000 cash bail providing he turned over his passport to the court office.

Christopher Metcalfe, 53, of 2 Morgan Square, who has been an island resident for 22 years, is also under investigation as a person possibly connected with other vehicle arsons which occurred at random times within the last two years. Metcalfe was seen in the Washington Street town parking lot by a witness on the night of Oct. 4 when firemen responded to a car fire that nearly totalled Fronzuto's 2007 Ford Sport Trac pick-up he had purchased about two weeks earlier. Police also examined video footage from area surveillance cameras.

The truck was a personal, rather than official vehicle. Metcalfe was charged with nighttime breaking and entering in a motor vehicle with intent to commit a felony, larceny under $250 and burning a motor vehicle. His case was continued to Oct. 30 for pre-trial hearing.

A woman charged with assault with a dangerous weapon - a car - who by witness accounts is alleged to have backed up her Jeep at high speed to strike her ex-husband in the knees, was bailed out by that man who expressed concern to the court that his former wife and her 10-year-old son must have a place to stay together.
