Neither man was able to post the bail amounts so they were transported to the Merrimack County House of Corrections. They will be video arraigned next week.

Previously, according to posts on Patch, Lafratta was arrested in June 2014, for driving while intoxicated and driving after revocation or suspension after reportedly striking a gate on Sheep Davis Road. Last year, he was reportedly wanted on warrants in Pembroke after a trespassing incident. Lafratta, police believed at the time, was able to slip out through a door of a home who reportedly once owned, but was found a few days later at a hotel in Manchester. Earlier this month, Lafratta was arrested in Nashua on harassment and threatening charges.
