Incident Number: 18SF007821
Investigating Officer: Sergeant Gregory Jon Molgano Date/Time of Incident/Arrest: 08/31/18 — 2120 hours Defendant: Matthew Morrell, 31, Charlestown, New Hampshire
Summary of Incident:
On the night of 8/31/18, a resident of Pearl Street contacted the Springfield Police Department to report that an unknown male had knocked on his door holding what appeared to be bags containing heroin and had accused him of selling the stuff to his girlfriend. 
The caller reportedly told the man that he had the wrong house and directed him to the house next door. Springfield Police later stopped to speak with Morrell, who fit the description of the mystery knocker, after he was observed emerging from Park Street while engaged in a dispute with a female. 
A warrants check revealed that Morrell had an active 2017 warrant for his arrest for the alleged sale of heroin. Morrell was arrested and lodged at the Southern State Correctional Facility.
