PORTSMOUTH — A 46-year-old Middletown man was arrested on domestic violence charges twice within six hours last week.

Officers responded to a Jesse Drive home at about 7:45 p.m. on Wednesday, June 12, to investigate a report of a domestic disturbance. Upon arrival, they determined that Adam Patrick Laurin, 46, of 135 Miantonomi Ave., Middletown, was the primary aggressor, police said. 

Laurin was charged with domestic assault upon a 52-year-old woman who lives in Portsmouth, police said. 

Laurin was arrested again about six hours later (on Thursday, June 13), after officers were called back to the home for a report of another domestic disturbance in progress. 

Upon arrival, the victim told them Laurin had already fled on foot, and the Middletown Police Department’s K9 unit was contacted for assistance. Laurin was located and charged with domestic breaking and entering into a home without consent, and violating a no-contact order, police said.
