A 30-year-old Salem man tried to throw a rock through a Lowell Street family’s window early Saturday morning, according to police.

When officers found Stephen Lucas walking back to the home and told him he had to leave, he allegedly crouched on his knees and pleaded with Officer Marc DiFava to let him back into the house.

“Lucas was so loud that the residents of 161 Lowell Street started to gather on [their] front porch,” DiFava wrote in the incident report.

After Lucas refused to leave he was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct.
