Concord Men Indicted in Rockingham County

One faces aggravated felonious sexual assault charges while another was indicted on receiving stolen property and theft charges.

Two men from Concord were indicted in Rockingham County this month, according to court documents.

Brandon W. Holler, 32, was indicted on a felony receiving stolen property charge for alleging stealing a Sony Blue Ray DVD player from a Salem man. Holler was also indicted on a felony theft by deception charge for the Sony player after he allegedly sold it to New Hampshire Pawnbroker Services in Salem. Since Holler has been twice convicted of theft, the charges were elevated to felony charges.

Holler has also been arrested in Concord on various charges including forgery, receiving stolen property, and theft by unauthorized taking or transfer.
