MANCHESTER, N.H. — A New Hampshire man is behind bars after he was accused of robbing a Manchester nursing home Thursday morning.
Police were called to the Evergreen Nursing Home on Beech Street just after 10 a.m. to investigate reports of a suspicious man inside the facility.
Staff members told officers they saw the man going into and out of rooms. The employees attempted to contain the man inside a bathroom, but when police arrived they discovered he was able to escape through a window.
Police tried to take Hill, 51, of Manchester, into custody, but he resisted.
Officers said they were able to follow footprints in the snow to a nearby garage. They entered the garage and found a man, who was identified as David Hill, crouching down behind a vehicle.
Hill was eventually arrested.
Police said he allegedly entered several rooms at the nursing home and was able to steal $10 from a purse. When he was arrested police said he had the money.
He was charged with burglary, resisting arrest and loitering. He is expected to appear in a Manchester court on Friday.
