On February 10, 2026, at approximately 8:30 am, Manchester Police responded to a Laurel
Street address for a reported violation of bail.
50-year-old Edward Kleinfeldt of Manchester was reported to be inside the residence, although
he had bail conditions that required him to stay away from the address.
The first officer on scene made announcements for Kleinfeldt to come outside, but instead
Kleinfeldt began yelling and would not comply.
Additional units arrived,including SWAT personnel and a drone was deployed. A loudspeaker
was used to make announcements, ordering Kleinfeldt to leave the building and negotiators tried
to convince him to surrender. After several hours, the decision was made to breach a window and
deploy 40mm less-lethal munitions. SWAT members were eventually able to take him into
custody without further incident.
Kleinfeldt was charged with Breach of Bail, Stalking Domestic Violence, Criminal Threatening
and Resisting Arrest.
