A man from Portsmouth, New Hampshire was arrested Sunday for the 153rd time, one week after his release from a one-year jail term on a theft charge.
Paul Baldwin, 49, was arrested over the weekend for allegedly punching someone in the face. He told a judge Monday that he plans to plead guilty to the assault, along with trespassing and alcohol charges. He said he has had a long battle with alcohol and was trying to correct the problem during his most recent one-year jail term.
“All I need is help with the drinking, your honor,” he told the judge."
Bail was set at $1,500 cash and Baldwin was ordered to have no contact with the alleged assault victim. If he is able to post bail, he is also court-ordered to observe a 7 p.m. curfew.
Last May he was described in the district court as “a leech on the resources of this community” after he was caught stealing a can of beer from a Mobil station.
Acccording to the Foster's Daily Democrat newspaper, Baldwin's record dates to 1984 and includes 152 other arrests, eight trespass orders, 75 citations, four Social Security aliases and 17 name aliases.
