Alleged Amherst Stalker Arrested In Merrimack

MERRIMACK, NH — A local man was arrested on stalking charges after allegedly losing control a vehicle in town during a snowstorm, according to police. Ryan Macintyre, 30, of Appleton Way in Amherst, was arrested on March 8, 2018, and charged with domestic violence-stalking, criminal order of protection, and stalking. At just after 3 a.m., officers located a vehicle off the side of the road on Continental Boulevard.

“The officer made contact with the vehicle occupants and observed them to be sleeping,” according to Sgt. Richard McKenzie of the Merrimack Police Department. “He woke the operator, who advised that they were traveling behind a plow, and lost control and got stuck in the snow.”

Macintyre reportedly told the officer that he had already called for a tow truck. However, the officer determined that a woman in the vehicle was allegedly a protected party in a domestic violence-stalking criminal order of protection out of Hillsborough County Superior Court-South and Macintyre was the defendant in the case.

“As part of the conditions, he was ordered to have no contact with the victim,” McKenzie alleged, and Macintyre was arrested.

Macintyre was held without bail and arraigned later that day in Merrimack District Court.

According to reports on Patch, Macintyre was arrested in November 2011, on a warrant for failure to appear at an arraignment in Nashua. Last month, he was arrested by Nashua Police for assault and second-degree assault.
