“On the arrival of police they learned that Mr. Chick had assaulted another person within the household and also damaged a shower curtain rod during an argument,” Lt. Ted Dillion of the Merrimack Police Department. “Police were unable to arrest Mr. Chick at the time of the incident so subsequently an arrest warrant was later issued for his arrest for the three offenses.”

Chick turned himself in on the warrant but couldn’t raise the $5,000 cash bail need so he was held at the Hillsborough County Jail, with a scheduled arraignment for today.
