Probation suspect arrested after raid, chase

SPRINGFIELD — A probationer who police had been seeking to arrest ever since he stalked out of the probation office in April, after he was allegedly caught trying to falsify a urine test, was captured Monday night in a wooded area off Seavers Brook Road with his passport and thousands of dollars in cash in his pockets.
Darrell Barror, 28, of Springfield was brought into Windsor District Court in downtown White River Junction on Tuesday afternoon where he pleaded innocent to a felony charge of cocaine possession and to possession of marijuana before he was ordered held without bail.
Springfield Detective Patrick Call wrote in an affidavit filed with the court that his department had developed intelligence that Barror had been sneaking into a trailer on Seaver Brook Road this week “under the cover of darkness” and residing there with his girlfriend, Katie Kingsbury, and the couple’s 3-month-old son.
Packing a search warrant and military rifles, police took up several positions around the residence in the dark to prevent Barror from escaping before a “tactical team” attacked the front door with a battering ram.
Despite the advance preparations, Sgt. Gregory Molgano wrote that the plan broke down when a female friend suddenly drove up to the scene with Kingsbury in her passenger seat just as police were knocking the door in. Kingsbury jumped from the car and rand inside the house right behind the police, officers said.
“Seeing Kingsbury as a threat to the entry team, I pointed my assault rifle at her, illuminating her with the rifle’s integral light and laser unit, and yelled for her to stop,” Molgano recalled. “Kingsbury did not heed my directive, thus forcing me to run from my observational position at the northeast corner of the house.”
Once inside, Kingsbury reportedly found Barror inside the kitchen first and yelled “Window!” at which point Barror jumped through the kitchen window and ran off down the road, Trooper Tim Gould wrote, adding, “I handcuffed Kingsbury and she told me there was a baby in the bedroom. I yelled this information to the rest of the entry team.”
A sweep of the trailer turned up 13 marijuana plants growing inside a cupboard area and an ounce and a half of cocaine hidden within clothing in a backpack, according to Call, who estimated the street value of the cocaine alone at $4,200.
Additional state troopers and police arrived to help search around Seavers Brook Road for Barror, including Fish & Game Warden Steve Majeski, who brought his trained Labrador tracking dog.
After about 45 minutes of searching led a posse of officers to a steep incline in the woods where Barror was hiding.
“He has a wonderful dog,” said Springfield Cpl. Michael Gilderdale. “We had set up a perimeter and secured it for the canine, waiting for it to show up. Warden Majeski arrived, outfitted himself up, went in the woods (with his dog and three troopers for cover) and probably five minutes later located Barror.”
“Barror was ordered to stand up. He advised us it was pretty steep and he might fall so we had him stand up carefully. He was brought up over the bank and placed in handcuffs,” Gilderdale said.
