Police were sent to an apartment on Concord Street after a complaint by a man that Mercier and another man were fighting. When police arrived, Mercier and the man had left the building. The man said he let Mercier and the man in to “get out of the snow.” Mercier, the man said, brought bottles of whiskey but he moved one of them away from her so she wouldn’t “become intoxicated,” according to an affidavit. He then accused Mercier of getting upset and pushing him. The other man and Mercier then began yelling at each other and the complainant kicked them out, the report said. The reporting officer spoke with a fourth person who confirmed the comments made by the complainant. Officers began searching for Mercier, found her on Storrs Street, and she denied being on Concord Street but was in possession of whiskey bottles, the same brand the complainant said she had, the affidavit stated. Mercier, instead, said she was coming from an establishment on South Main Street. A man with Mercier was also questioned and he said he was at the Concord Street apartment. A check found that Mercier was trespassed from the apartment by the property manager. Mercier, the reporting officer said, was also not supposed to be with the man she was with at the time of questioning, and that order was active through August 2022. Mercier was then arrested and held without bail.

The officer began searching the name and found a caution warning for his twin brother, Cody Merrill, the report said. Cody Merrill had an active warrant on a felony forgery charge from September 2021 out of Merrimack County. Other officers arrived and they found the man in the parking lot of the methadone clinic. He was questioned and then, after matching tattoos to ones on file to Cody Merrill not Tyler, he was told he was under arrest.
