Homeless Concord Woman Racks Up Felony Charges; Accused Of Nearly Striking Man With Truck

CONCORD, NH — A homeless woman now located in Concord is facing felony charges after two incidents in nearby towns and being accused of possessing drugs and almost driving into a man last month.

Ashley-Ann Elaine Mullen-Sherrard, 34, was arrested on April 18 on reckless conduct-deadly weapon, vehicular assault, and possession of a controlled drug, all felonies, as well as transport drugs in a motor vehicle and reckless operation charges.

Around 4 p.m. on April 18, Weare police put out a BOLO (be-on-the-lookout) call requesting a “stop and ID” on a 2018 Dodge 2500 pickup truck. The driver, a woman, was accused of being involved in a road rage incident and tried to run over someone in that community. Mullen-Sherrard, according to an affidavit filed by Dunbarton police, was the registered owner of the pickup.

According to court documents, the victim in the case was a man in his early 20s, who was placed in danger of serious bodily injury after Mullen-Sherrard accelerated and drove her pickup truck at a high rate of speed at the man in the area of Brownie’s Sand & Gravel in Weare. The man was approaching the truck at the time, but the acceleration caused him to jump out of the way to avoid being struck on George Moody Road in Weare, documents said.

In the area of Pages Corner in Dunbarton, an officer saw the vehicle and pulled it over on Clinton Street. Mullen-Sherrard, the officer said, was the only person in the pickup truck. She also had a no-bail warrant out of Merrimack County connected to “violation of bail conditions” for “methamphetamine-related crimes” issued three days before. A sergeant confirmed the warrant was active.

An officer and sergeant from Weare arrived in Dunbarton to take possession of Mullen-Sherrard, while the Dunbarton police prepared her truck to be towed. The affidavit said a glass pipe with a white crystallized substance, believed to be meth, were found inside a purse in the front of the truck. When asked if she wanted her purse, she said, “Yes,” but then, “clarified that she only wanted her cell phone and wallet,” the affidavit stated.

Police reported finding four cell phones, a small safe, butane lighters, laundry pods, and dryer sheets, noting the latter two are often used to “mask the odor of illicit drugs during a K-9 sniff,” the report stated.

A search warrant was requested for the truck and on April 22, police found a small baggie with white residue behind the driver’s seat and 2.4 grams of white powder in a small multi-colored baggie.

Mullen-Sherrard was arraigned via video on April 24 on the drug charges and held on preventative detention. A probable cause hearing was waived, she was held, and the case was sent to the Merrimack County Superior Court on May 2. She is due in superior court on May 22 for a status conference. Mullen-Sherrard is due in Concord District Court on May 27 for arraignment on the Weare charges.

Back in February 2024, Mullen-Sherrard was arrested on a driving after revocation or suspension charge and a failure to display plates violation in Franklin. She was accused of driving on Central Street in a 2018 Chevrolet Silverado, despite her operating privileges being suspended a few weeks prior. A month and a half later, the charges were nolle prossed.
