An officer was sent to Garvins Falls Road around 6:47 a.m. for a report of an assault. A witness reported driving by the area and seeing a woman who was crying and a man walking away from the scene. The witness stopped and spoke to the woman and asked if she was OK, and she alleged that a man had “beaten the sh-t out of her.” The man then came back to the scene and was waving something at the two of them that the witness thought was a gun. The man then fled the scene. The officer spoke to the woman who stated that she and Mahan had dinner the night before at The Friendly Kitchen but was tired of fighting so she went back to their campsite alone. Later that night, he returned to the campsite and went to sleep, she stated. The next morning, she reported, Mahan allegedly “became angry with her and began to insult her.” The two began to argue and Mahan allegedly “pushed her and struck her” numerous times in the head and face causing her to fall down.

The bench warrants were for nonappearance in Laconia District Court on April 14, on operating after suspension charges. He’s due in court on June 9, on the assault charges.
