« Brown buys 7 buildings in Jewelry District | Today | New trial denied for man convicted in toddler's death » October 24, 2006UMass casino-impact researcher arrested for assaultThe researcher behind University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth studies supportive of the proposed Harrah's-Narragansett Indian casino faces charges of assault and battery, intimidating a witness and marijuana possession after being arrested in Fall River over the weekend. Clyde W. Barrow, 50, director of the UMass Center for Policy Analysis, pleaded not guilty in Fall River District Court today. Barrow was arrested after police were called to his apartment at 3865 North St. just before midnight on Saturday, where they found Nancy Dececco, 52, of Robeson Street, outside. She was bleeding lightly from a small scratch, with redness and swelling around the bridge of her nose, according the police report. She told officers that she and Barrow had been drinking and gotten into an argument. She alleged Barrow knocked her to the floor and began to hit and strangle her. When she tried to phone for help, the police report quotes her as saying, Barrow "smashed my cell phone and threw it in the toilet.'' She was treated and released from St. Anne's Hospital. According to the report, Barrow, who is divorced, said the fight was over the issue of marriage. He repeatedly told police the dispute had not become physical, and he said he went to bed after she left the house, noting at one point, "She falls down all the time.'' Barrow was mentioned in a Political Scene blog item yesterday regarding his plans to speak at a Harrah's-backed conference in Las Vegas next month. -- Journal staff writer C.
