WEBVTT DEPARTMENT. SUZANNE: THE CALL CAME IN JUST ABOUT 3:00 A.M. THIS MORNING. A SUMMER STREET RESIDENT TOLD POLICE HE CAUGHT A MAN TRYING TO STEAL HIS BRAND NEW CANOE. JUST BEFORE HIS EARLY MORNING SHIFT AT THE HANOVER STREET HANNAFORD, 42-YEAR-OLD CHRIS INGLE WAS LETTING HIS BEAGLE VINNIE OUT. AND I HAPPENED TO SEE SOMEONE WITH A BACKPACK RUN ACROSS MY BACK YARD AND HEAD DOWN TOWARDS THE ALLEY WAY. SO I HAPPENED TO GO LOOK TO SEE WHAT I WAS DOING AND LOW AND BEHOLD HE WAS TRYING TO STEAL THE 14 FOOT OLD TOWNE CANOE OUT OF MY BASEMENT, HAD IT OUT IN THE ALLEY WAY ALREADY. POLICE SAY 56-YEAR-OLD JOHN DUFRESNE WAS ALSO TRYING TO BREAK INTO A NEIGHBOR'S TRUCK'S TOOL BOX AND WHEN DUFRESNE SAW INGLES HE TRIED TO RUN. HE STILL AFTER I SAW HIM TRIED TO CARRY THE CANOE AWAY IN FRONT OF ME. THAT LED TO A FIGHT. HE CAME AROUND AND HE TURNED AROUND AND HE CAME AT ME AND I TOOK HIM DOWN AND I PRECEDED TO PUNCH HIM IN THE HEAD AND KICK HIM AND KNEE HIM. I WAS FIGHTING FOR A GOOD TEN MINUTES, I'M GUESSING. THE COMMOTION IN THE ALLEY ALERTED THE NEIGHBORS DOG TOBY, WHO WOKE HIS OWNER. MY NEIGHBOR CAME OUT, I HAD HIM HOLD HIM DOWN AND I CALLED THE COPS. DUFRESNE AND INGLES BOTH SUFFERED MINOR INJURIES DURING THE SCUFFLE. SO DID THE BRAND NEW 1400-DOLLAR CANOE THAT HADN'T EVEN BEEN IN THE WATER YET. THIS IS WHAT HE DID TO IT WHEN HE DRAGGED IT UP THE STAIRS OF THE BASEMENT. I MEAN IT'S NOT A LOT OF DAMAGE, IT'S STILL GOING TO FLOAT, DON'T GET ME WRONG. IT'S JUST COSMETIC BUT IIT IS A 1400 DOLLAR CANOE, YOU KNOW. INGLES SAYS HE DOESN'T REGRET GOING AFTER DUFRESNE. IF HE CAME BACK AND DID IT AGAIN, I'D DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO STEAL FROM ME. SUZANNE: 56-YEAR-OLD JOHN DUFRESNE WAS CHARGED WITH BURGLARY AND APPEARED FOR HIS VIDEO ARRAIGNMENT THIS MORNING.
