NHGOP CALLS ON DEM REP PATTEN TO EXPLAIN STALKING ORDER OF PROTECTION FILED AGAINST HIM
 
Concord – New Hampshire Republican Party Executive Director Matthew Slater calls on Democrat State Representative and Concord City Councilor Dick Patten to explain the stalking temporary order of protection filed against him by a 20-year old Concord resident (Concord Monitor, 4/23):
 
“The stalking order of protection filed against Democrat Representative Patten is extremely troubling and raises very serious questions that he must address immediately. As a Concord City Councilor and a member of the Legislature, Rep. Patton has an obligation to discuss this disturbing issue openly and honestly with his constituents.
 
“In order to preserve the integrity of the New Hampshire House and her caucus, Speaker Norelli must call for an investigation into Rep. Patten’s actions. If the Speaker fails to investigate this matter, it will show New Hampshire voters that the House Democrat Leadership is willing to tolerate his ethically questionable behavior.”

Teens Robbed of I-pod/Cell Phone

 

MANCHESTER, NH- On Monday, February 11, 2013, at about 6:30 PM, Manchester Police responded to a Clay Street address for a report of a robbery.  On arrival, they met with two 16 year old Manchester teens who reported they had been the victims of a robbery a short time earlier on Somerville Street, near Belmont Street.

 

According to the boys, they were walking in the area when they were approached by two men, one of whom demanded their belongings, indicating his companion had a gun, although no gun was observed.

 

One of the boys surrendered his I-pod Nano and Galaxy S3 cell phone and the men left.  They were last seen leaving the area as passengers in an older, dark colored 4-door sedan operated by a third individual who was possibly wearing a red sweatshirt.

 

The first suspect was described as a white male in his forties, about 6’3” tall with a slender build and dark “stubble” on his face.  He was last seen wearing a dark colored vest and a green “beanie” style hat.  The second man, alleged to have possessed a gun, was described as a clean-shaven white male in his forties with an average height and build.  He was last seen wearing a camouflage shirt and khaki pants.
