Felon From Franklin Arrested In Concord Twice In 28 Days On Stalking, Breach, And Drug Charges

CONCORD, NH — A felon from Franklin was arrested twice in Concord after being accused of stalking and breach of bail in one incident, and the same charges, as well as two drug possession charges, on another date, according to court affidavits.

In the first incident, officers were sent to South Main Street around 5:15 a.m. on Dec. 20, 2025, for a report from a third party that a woman from Franklin showed up at her house with a man, who had an active domestic violence order against Ryann Johnson, 45, of Lancaster Street in Franklin. One of the officers checked the bail order, issued on 15 days before, and confirmed it was still active, an affidavit stated.

The officers arrived at the house and later accused Johnson of being in the attic of the home, about 30 feet from the protected party, who was sleeping. Johnson, during an interview with police, said her belongings were in the same room as the protected party and she was told by the homeowner she could stay there, according to the affidavit. The homeowner, however, denied her claim and told the officer she thought Johnson “would attack her physically for calling the police on her,” the report said.

Johnson was arrested and charged with stalking and breach of bail. She pleaded not guilty to the charges on Dec. 21, 2025, and was held on preventative detention.

On Jan. 8, Johnson’s attorney requested an expedited bail hearing, claiming Johnson was invited to stay at the home by both the homeowner and the protected party, separately, so they would be there at the same time, a document stated. A relative of Johnson’s claims the invite was “wanted and planned” by the homeowner “to get Ms. Johnson arrested.” The attorney said she had text messages, purportedly from the homeowner, acknowledging “inviting Ms. Johnson to her house and that she ‘had [Ms. Johnson] arrest’.”

Around 2:15 p.m. on Jan. 18, Johnson was arrested again.

Officers were sent to Iron Works Road regarding an unwanted guest. The caller, the homeowner from South Main Street, claimed the woman who owned the Iron Works Road home was “terrified” by the protected party and Johnson being together, according to an affidavit. The officers ran a check on a Ford in a parking space owned by the protected party and went to knock on the door of the home. Johnson answered, was asked if the protected party was in the home, and said, “No,” the report said.

Police then called the reporting party, who said she had received a report the protected party and Johnson were at the home together against the wishes of the Iron Works Road homeowner.

Officers spoke with the Iron Works Road homeowner, who said the protected party was in the home and went upstairs when police arrived, the report stated. She said they had arrived separately, about an hour before, the officer wrote. The reporting officer checked the domestic violence stalking order and confirmed it was active. They then spoke with the protected party, who came downstairs but was not cooperative. He did, however, admit to being with Johnson, the officer wrote.

Johnson was interviewed and denied being with the protected party, saying she did not know he was at the home at the time, the officer wrote. She added they went to court and had the matter dropped. After being told the order was still active, Johnson was arrested.

Johnson was accused of asking police to retrieve her purse from the living room, which the officer did, the report said. After a search, a baggie of methamphetamine, a baggie of cocaine, and a straw that was partially cut were found, an affidavit said.

Johnson was taken to police headquarters, processed, and held. According to the report, Johnson was arrested on Dec. 5, 2025, after a domestic violence incident in Laconia involving the protected party. At that time, she was banned from the Laconia residence and within 300 feet of the protected party, the report stated.

Johnson is due back in Concord District Court on Feb. 10 for a bail hearing on the first stalking and breach charges and a probable cause hearing on the drug charges.

According to superior court records, Johnson was accused of burglary, robbery, and forgery in Laconia in 2011, forgery in Concord in 2011, forgery and burglary in Gilford in 2011, and burglary in Alton in 2010. In 2012, she pleaded guilty to the robbery charge in Laconia and received a three-to-seven-year sentence with 113 days of time served credit as well as $5,065.45 in restitution. Johnson also pleaded guilty to two of the Laconia forgery charges and received a two-to-four-year prison sentence and $560 restitution. She also pleaded guilty to the Concord forgery charge and received a two-to-four-year prison sentence as well as $3,730 in restitution and a 12-month jail sentence and $850 in fees. Johnson also pleaded guilty to the Gilford forgery charge and was given a 12-month jail sentence and $326 in fees. She also received a three-to-six-year sentence on the Gilford burglary charge with $9,689.73 restitution.

Johnson also pleaded guilty to the Alton case and was given a three-to-six-year sentence, suspended for six years. In August 2022, she was found in violation of a court order for failure to pay restitution and agreed to make payments toward the restitution, according to the court.
