Action Delayed On Former Fugitive’s Bad Check Charges After Attorney Reveals More Indictments Imminent

CONCORD, NH — A man from Chichester, accused of issuing several bad checks around Concord and the capital region since late last year, was in court to update old charges and be arraigned on new charges.

Mark Maynard, 49, of who was captured in April, faces a violation of probation or parole charge issued in May after he was convicted on 10 charges of issuing bad checks in late June 2022, for which he received 10 suspended sentences but was required to pay back tens of thousands of dollars in restitution to Camping World.

Maynard also had a status conference on seven theft by deception and seven issuing bad check charges connected to incidents in Concord on Dec. 1, Dec. 2, Dec. 3, and Dec. 4, 2025. He will be arraigned in court on all those charges on Aug. 18.

Maynard also had a status conference on two theft by deception and three issuing bad check charges out of Bow, from Dec. 17, Dec. 22, and Dec. 23, 2025.

Maynard was also arraigned on Tuesday on felony issuing bad checks and theft by deception charges based in Concord from Jan. 21.

Judge John Kissinger asked public defender attorney Ryan Michael Gephart if he had the chance to go through the charges with Maynard and he said he had. The attorney entered not guilty pleas on his behalf. Gephart said there were “a couple more cases” in which Maynard had not been indicted yet.

“Do you have a sense of what the total picture looks like, for your discussion of the trajectory of the case?” Kissinger asked.

Gephart said he believed the indictments would be coming soon. Another status conference was then booked for Sept. 1.

It was also agreed Maynard would be held without bail.

Before being captured, Maynard had not been seen since October 2023, after the Merrimack County Superior Court issued a warrant for his arrest on a probation violation.

Maynard also had active charges out of Polk County, Florida, for grand theft-defrauding a financial institution, and resisting arrest and motor vehicle violations in Rockingham County.

After his arrest, Maynard appeared in Merrimack County Superior Court on the bail hearing. He was held and is due back in court for a probation violation hearing on May 4. Maynard, however, failed to appear at the hearing.

According to superior court records, Maynard’s criminal history dates back more than two decades.

In 2002, he was accused of issuing bad checks in Claremont and Pembroke and pleaded guilty to four of the six charges.

In April 2011, Maynard was charged with theft by deception and two charges of issuing a bad check from June 2010 in Manchester. The charges were dismissed months later.

Maynard was arrested again on 11 counts of theft and check charges in Chichester and Manchester in 2020 and 2021. In June 2022, he received various sentences and was ordered to pay about $27,000 in restitution.
