On June 21, 2020 at approximately 9:50 pm Manchester Police located and arrested 29 year old Ariel Dupuis and charged in connection with an incident that took place June 19, 2020.
Dupuis is believed to have assisted 37 y/o Ronald Betances in kidnapping a Manchester man at knife point, driving him around to various locations, before finally taking him to Derry where he was ordered to take off his clothes. He was then tied to a tree and assaulted. The victim was able to free himself and call police. The suspects and victim were known to each other, and this was not a random act.
