New Bedford Man Arrested

According to CBS 12 in Providence, a New Bedford man was arrested after he allegedly assaulted a woman in Buttonwood Park Wednesday, according to police. Police said 20 year old Devin Bryce Pacheco approached the woman in the playground area of the park and attempted to kiss her. Pacheco also physically groped the woman before she was able to fight off his attempt and call for help. After the incident, police said Pacheco tried to leave the park but was arrested before he could do so.

 

Police said Pacheco had been involved in a similar incident at a local supermarket back in August. During that incident, police said Pacheco approached a woman as she was shopping in a store aisle and groped her from behind.

 

Pacheco is charged with indecent assault and battery. Pacheco is currently being held on $15,000 bail, however, the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office has requested it be revoked because of the repeat offense.
