***Stabbings, Drugs, and Prostitution...Just Another Day in ManchVegas***

STABBING: A Manchester man was in surgery early this morning for multiple stab wounds in his upper torso. The 24 year old man was found in the area of Nashua and East High Street. He had gotten into a fight with two men, one age 30 and one age 23. Police are not sure why the altercation started but will be questioning the victim when he is ready to figure out if criminal charges will be filed or not. They are not sure which of the men was the assailant. All names are being held at this time. The victim was taken to the Elliot Hospital and is expected to survive.

DRUGS AND PROSTITUTION OF A MINOR: 53 year old Michael Messina of Amory Street was arrested for letting people do drugs in his home which was listed as a felony common nuisance charge. He was also arrested on two counts of misdemeanor child endangerment for letting a 14 year old girl engage in sexual activity with adult men as well as allowing her to use controlled drugs in his home. He was indicted yesterday for these charges which happened in December of 2013 and January of 2014. Also arrested and indicted was 33 year old Anna Messina for allowing the use of her cell phone for the prostitution of the 14 year old girl. She was charged with two misdemeanor counts of endangering the welfare of a minor due to the allowance of sexual contact between the teen and an adult male as well as the allowance of the use of illegal drugs by the teen.
