Rianna S. Martin, 29, of High Street in Penacook, was arrested at 3:30 a.m. on Dec. 3, 2015, on a bench warrant and possession of controlled drugs. An officer on foot patrol in Boudreau Square saw two people sitting in the Penacook Village Laundromat on Village Street. They didn’t appear to be doing laundry, so he went over to speak to them. One – Martin – had an active warrant from Nov. 30, 2015, out of Concord District Court with $5,000 cash bail, so she was arrested. Just after being handcuffed, she allegedly told the officer she was in possession of marijuana but it was in her bra. The officer reportedly un-cuffed one of her hands and allowed her to retrieve the baggie with the pot from her bra and the drug charge was added to her docket. She was held and arraigned later that morning.
