- Christopher Roy, 24, of Boscawen, was arrested at 11:30 p.m. on March 21, on a violation of protective order; penalty charge, resisting arrest, assaulting a police officer, and default or breach of bail conditions. An officer was sent to Elm Street to check on Roy who may have been involved in a previous incident on Washington Street in Penacook. Later, while driving around the area, the officer spotted Roy walking northbound, just over the Boscawen line. The officer stopped and spoke to Roy but he reportedly ignored him and continued walking away from the officer. The officer alleged that Roy “had a noticeable sway” and appeared to be under the influence. He reportedly ordered Roy to stop. Roy allegedly turned back in the officer’s direction, looked at him for a few seconds, and began running away. Another unit was called to the area as the officer attempted to catch up to Roy. He later caught up to him in an Elm Street lot just before he attempted to access his home. A struggled ensued as Roy allegedly tried to gain access to his home and the officer tried to restrain him. During the altercation, a member of Roy’s family jumped up from a couch and assisted the officer in restraining Roy. Two other family members appeared at the scene and were attempting to assist, with one going outside to meet with officers arriving at the scene. A state trooper arrived at the scene first and attempted to restrain Roy but couldn’t. The trooper then tasered Roy and he fell to the ground and was handcuffed, held without bail, and transported to Merrimack County House of Correction. The officer later thanked the family for the assistance and they reportedly issued witness statements in the case. According to the report, the protective order was issued for a Concord woman on Jan. 28, and was served to Roy while he was in prison on Feb. 22. Earlier in the evening, according to witnesses, Roy alleged pounded on the door of his ex-girlfriend’s apartment.

While conducting patrol activities at Pleasant and Green streets, an officer allegedly heard a loud, screeching noise and reportedly observed a sedan skid to a stop at the intersection. The Toyota Corolla, the officer alleged, stopped past the painted stop line. The officer pulled onto South Street in order to watch the sedan and possibly initiate a safe motor vehicle stop later. As the Corolla passed by, the officer alleged that it crossed the double yellow line near Concord Street while driving in the opposite lane. “The sedan continued to drift to the left with the driver side tires entering the brake down lane as it passed Monroe Street,” the officer alleged. The officer attempted to pull over the Corolla but it didn’t stop until reaching Thorndike Street. The driver, Darling, produced his license and a female passenger helped him get the car registration, according to the officer. The officer alleged that he could smell alcohol coming from the car.

An officer reportedly heard Kibbee talking “in an aggressive tone” and sounding angry. There were people on the bottom floor, the officer stated, also yelling as they approached the upstairs apartment.

The officers found a woman in another room behind a brick support post. The woman alleged that Kibbee came home drunk and woke her up while she was sleeping. The woman alleged that they started arguing and Kibbee grabbed her while she was sitting on the bed and held her down, yelling at her. She later was able to free herself, according to the report. Kibbee, she alleged, also threw his cell phone and a game in the room and punched himself in the head. The woman alleged that the arguing woke up neighbors and Kibbee began arguing with them. The woman later locked Kibbee out of the apartment and he allegedly busted the door down. He later allegedly grabbed the woman’s pajamas in an attempt to get his keys. He allegedly grabbed a knife and tried to cut the keys out of her pocket and she was afraid he would cut her. While talking to Kibbee, the officer alleged that he admitted to losing his temper and breaking a door. He alleged that his girlfriend had punched him in the face and continued to yell at her. The officer warned Kibbee to refrain from yelling but he allegedly didn’t and was arrested, and thrashed violently while on his stomach during the cuffing process. “Kibbee yelled several times that he had been punched in the face and that the male always gets arrested,” the officer noted. While being removed from the building, Kibbee allegedly became aggressive and unpredictable, bumping into the officer in an attempt to impede getting arrested. Another officer assisted and Kibbee was moved down the stairs. After getting outside, Kibbee allegedly began dragging his feet and later, swung his leg and kicked an officer below the knee.

Upon arrival to one of the apartments, an officer observed a broken door with an extended dead bolt lock and the hinges damaged. When the officer entered the apartment, McCarthy was standing in the apartment, reportedly looking as if he had been involved in an altercation. “His face had various cuts and bruises,” the officer noted. McCarthy allegedly said nothing had happened before officers arrived. The officer went back in to talk to other people and later returned to McCarthy to discuss the damaged apartment door. By that time, another officer was told by dispatch that there was a bench warrant for McCarthy from Concord District Court on a resisting arrest charge, so he was arrested. During the process of being arrested, an officer alleged that McCarthy “went through numerous mood swings” that allegedly continued through transport and booking. McCarthy allegedly told the officer that he wanted to fight and didn’t want to be processed so the officer transported him directly to the Merrimack County House of Correction. On the ride there, McCarthy allegedly attempted to kick out the windows of the cruiser. When told that there might be additional charges if the window broke, McCarthy allegedly laughed and said he was only playing. Later, the officer reported that McCarthy was issued a domestic violence protection order to stay away from an alleged victim on Feb. 4, and that charge was added. McCarthy was arraigned on April 1.
