Residents Punched After Complaining of Rowdy Party, Say Police

Posted Jan. 21, 2014, 5:11 p.m.

The resident of a Belmont Street home saw his third-floor neighbor urinating from the third-floor porch onto the sidewalk, and there were smashed glass bottles strewn about on the front walkway, according to a Somerville police report.

When the resident complained, the third floor neighbor, Steven Demaras, 24, of 6 Belmont St., came down stairs, said, "What the [expletive] you want," and punched the man in the face, the police report alleges. It says Demaras punched another victim in the face, too.

The incident happened at around 1:40 a.m on Saturday, the report says.

When police arrived, one of the building's residents said, "Thank God you guys are here; they have been partying all night up there," according to the report.

When police knocked on Demaras' door, he opened it and said, "Get the [expletive] out of here," the report says.

Police told the party guests to leave, and after some more yelling, Demaras ran into the bathroom and locked himself inside, it says.

Eventually, Demaras came out of the bathroom and was placed under arrest. He was charged with assault and battery, resisting arrest and keeping a noisy and disorderly house.

The above information was supplied by the Somerville Police Department. Where arrests or charges are mentioned, it does not indicate a conviction.
