Penacook Man Arrested For Burglary, Theft, And Indecent Exposure After Incident In Concord Apartment Building

CONCORD, NH — A man from Penacook was arrested and held without bail after being accused of burglarizing an apartment building and pleasuring himself in the hallway, an incident caught on a Ring camera.

Around 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, officers were sent to the Davis Ridge apartments on Sheep Davis Road for a report of a man roaming one of the hallways for about 30 minutes and then masturbating. One of the tenants said she was alerted to the incident by a Ring camera and called the police. She described the man as white, with a dark beard, and wearing sunglasses, but she did not recognize him.

The reporting officer arrived with other officers, but they did not see the man matching the description at the building. CATCH Neighbor Housing was called about security footage in the building. The reporting officer interviewed the complainant who provided them with the video footage. The officer confirmed the man was standing in the hallway and then exposed himself, saying, “the male’s genitals were plainly visible on the camera,” according to a report.

The officer went to the CATCH office, reviewed security footage of the building, and discovered the man entered the building behind another man who let him in, a report stated. The man roamed the hallways, rang doorbells, and exposed his genitals, the officer wrote. The man was then recorded by a security camera entering one of the apartments, the officer said.

The reporting officer contacted other officers at the building to warn them the suspect, later identified as Alexis Antonio Martinez, 41, of Charles Street in Penacook, might still be inside one of the apartments. CATCH communicated with another tenant of the building, whose relative also lived there and was renting the apartment Martinez was believed to be in, according to the affidavit. She called her, but she was not home at the time, and also told the officer she had not given anyone permission to be in her apartment and did not know anyone who fit Martinez's description, the officer wrote.

Officers, with a K-9 unit, converged on the apartment and reportedly found the door unlocked. The K-9 officer announced himself and ordered Martinez to come to the door, the report stated.

“(Martinez) appeared around the corner with only a blanket covering his body,” the officer wrote. “(He) dropped the blanket and I observed the male to be nude.”

Martinez completed with verbal commands, got onto his stomach, and was cuffed, the officer wrote. He was identified and taken to police headquarters.

The tenant reconfirmed she did not know Martinez and looked around her apartment for missing items. The officer noted there were open containers of food in the apartment and a bag of cookies on the floor. The tenant estimated about $300 worth of food was consumed, according to the report. The reporting officer also seized clothing as evidence, the affidavit said.

Martinez was arrested on felony burglary, indecent exposure and gross lewdness, theft by unauthorized taking-less than $1,000, and criminal trespass charges. He was arraigned via video in Concord District Court, requested an attorney, and was detained.

A probable cause hearing was booked for March 24.

According to superior court records, Martinez was charged with acts prohibited in Hooksett in January 2021. In October 2021, he pleaded to a single charge and received a six-month jail sentence and a $434 fine, both suspended for a year. In May 2024, Martinez was arrested on a driving under the influence charge after an incident on Loudon Road.
