Pair Arrested Multiple Times In Five Days

CONCORD, NH — A man and a woman now located in Concord racked up a number of arrests and charges last month, according to police and court reports. The troubles for Kimberly MacCartney, 50, formerly of Alabama and Massachusetts, as well as Steven Munoz, a homeless man now located in Concord, reportedly started during the early morning hours of May 19, 2017, according to reports. MacCartney was arrested at around 1:10 a.m. on numerous charges including drug possession, operating without a valid license, and driving after revocation or suspension at the Cumberland Farms on North Main Street.

MacCartney lost her driving privileges, according to a court affidavit, after being arrested for driving while intoxicated in Massachusetts. MacCartney was arrested on the charges, processed, and released on bail. Munoz was not charged but was at the scene with MacCartney, according to the report.

About five and half hours later, officers were sent to the Shell gas station on Loudon Road across from Walmart for a report of a couple passed out in a silver SUV. The doors of the vehicle, according to the complainant, were opened and they were reportedly passed out inside.

Officers arrived at the scene and found a Kia Sportage with New Hampshire plates and one of them realized it was MacCartney and Munoz – the same people he had encountered earlier that morning.

“MacCartney was sitting in the driver’s seat with the vehicle keys on her lap,” the reporting officer alleged, “Munoz was sitting in the passenger seat.”

MacCartney reportedly gave the reporting officer an Alabama non-driver ID and dispatch confirmed that she had just been arrested five hours before, according to a court affidavit. Part of her bail conditions, according to the report, was that she not drive while released.

The officer asked MacCartney how the vehicle got from North Main Street to Loudon Road and she allegedly admitted that after being bailed out, she returned to the SUV and drove it. The reporting officer also spoke to a witness who alleged that the woman was driving the vehicle.

MacCartney was arrested again on revocation and breach of bail charges and both she and Munoz reportedly apologized for their actions.

Theft and crash incidents at Walmart

Later that day, at just before 3:30 p.m., an officer was sent to Walmart for a report of a hit-and-run accident.

The officer spoke with an 81-year-old woman from Florida who stated that her minivan had been sideswiped on the driver’s side sliding door which caused “significant damage” to the vehicle. The officer met with Walmart officials to eye video surveillance and allegedly observed a man driving a silver SUV as it backed out of a parking space and into the minivan. The SUV had tire attached to the rear of the vehicle, according to the report.

About 90 minutes later, the Walmart employee called police to report that the male suspect of the hit-and-run was back in the store and a woman he was with was being accused of shoplifting.

The reporting officer met with the employee who alleged that MacCartney reportedly placed several pieces of jewelry in the top part of her shopping cart and later, allegedly slipped them into her purse. Munoz reportedly left the area while MacCartney went to the self-service checkout aisle and purchased some items.

Employees spoke with both MacCartney and Munoz outside of the store and they were brought back in. MacCartney then allegedly removed the stolen jewelry and batteries from her purse, about $132 worth of items, and handed them over to the loss prevention officer, according to the affidavit.

The reporting officer asked both Munoz and MacCartney about the crash earlier in the day and they reportedly admitted that they were in the parking lot earlier.

“Munoz stated that he had only driven a little (and) that he backed the vehicle out of a parking space and moved it,” the officer wrote. “I asked if he was driving a silver Kia. Munoz said, ‘Yes,’ but then said he wasn’t driving. I told him I had him driving the vehicle and hitting another vehicle. Munoz again admitted to backing the vehicle out of a parking space and moving it a short distance.”

When asked who was driving, MacCartney allegedly stated that Munoz was driving. Munoz only had a New Hampshire ID and was asked if he was driving after a previous revocation charge from January due to a default court summons for failure to pay a fine, according to dispatch. He reportedly said his license was not suspended because he never had a license, according to the affidavit.

MacCartney was arrested on a theft charge as well as breach of bail and held; Munoz was arrested on a conduct after an accident charge as well as operating without a valid license. He was held on $10,000 cash bail.

Munoz arrested again

Five days later, Munoz was arrested again after police were sent to the Cumberland Farms on North Main Street for a report of an unwanted person at around 12:45 a.m. on May 24.

The woman who called police was a former employee at the store who was asked by a current employee to call police after she alleged that a man “had been following her around the store” and was refusing to leave when asked to leave, the affidavit alleged.

Officers arrived and spoke with the man – Munoz – who was reportedly still inside the store.

“He was heavily intoxicated, had difficulties keeping his balance, and experienced mood swings,” the officer alleged. “He smelled of an alcoholic beverage, had slurred speech, and a flushed face.”

The woman told police that Munoz was reportedly told that he couldn’t hang out in the store and was asked a number of times to leave but refused. She noted that he had done the same thing about six or seven days before, the report alleged.

Munoz was allegedly making “inappropriate comments” about her including a comment stating that she had “a nice ass” and he wanted to kiss her. She also alleged that Munoz took a beer from the cooler, was told to leave for a third or fourth time, at which time he took a sip from the beer, but never paid for or attempted to pay for the beer, the clerk stated.

The officer saw an open can of Steel Reserve Blackberry Beer near where Munoz was hanging out and the clerk confirmed that it was the same beer he allegedly failed to pay for.

Munoz was arrested and held without bail. According to the affidavit, blew a 0.224 on the breathalyzer at police headquarters.
