Man Jumps From Fisherville Road Apartment Window After Assault

CONCORD, NH — A man was transported to Concord Hospital yesterday afternoon after he jumped from a second-floor apartment window to escape an assault incident. Concord police and fire and rescue teams were sent to an apartment complex on Fisherville Road at around 5:30 p.m. for a report of a disturbance. When they arrived, they found a man who stated that he had jumped from a second-story apartment window, fleeing from people inside an apartment.

The man was transported to the hospital by firefighters while police attempted to investigate the incident. Lt. Sean Ford, the commander of the criminal investigation division for the Concord Police Department, stated that officers wound up forcing entry into the apartment where they found a juvenile and a man – Jerry Roberts Jr., 35, a sex offender. Roberts had an active warrant on a duty to report charge and a parole violation, and was taken into custody on July 15, 2019.

Ford said the department was limiting the release of details about the case due to the incident being an active investigation. He added that more info may be issued in the near future.

Roberts, according to the state of New Hampshire, was convicted on a sexual assault charge as well as two simple assault charges in October 2004, in Rockingham County and two counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault on a victim under 16 in September 2008, in Belknap County. Between 2004 and 2017, he has been convicted of violation of terms, possession of drugs, witness tampering, second-degree assault charges, reckless conduct, stalking, domestic violence, and both duty to report and failure to comply.

Roberts was a Fugitive of the Week in February 2017, due to a parole violation. He was arrested three months later in Lebanon hiding under a bed in an apartment.
