Felon, Now In Nashua, Accused Of Stealing Vehicle, Crashing It In Massachusetts

NASHUA, NH — A woman from Nashua was arrested last week, accused of stealing a vehicle and crashing it in Massachusetts in late January.

On Jan. 30, officers took a report from a victim who reported leaving a motor vehicle running “for a moment,” while she went to her employment, but when she returned, her vehicle was gone, Sgt. John Cinelli, the public information officer and communications division supervisor for the Nashua Police Department, said. Pierce Osgood, 28, of Amherst Street in Nashua, was identified as a suspect not long after the theft.

“A short time later,” he said, “the Nashua Police Department was notified that the vehicle had been involved in a crash in Massachusetts, and the operator, Osgood, was arrested by Massachusetts State Police.”

Detectives continued to work on the case and requested a warrant against Osgood for felony theft by unauthorized taking. She was arrested on April 18 and released on personal recognizance. Osgood is due in Nashua District Court on May 20 for arraignment.

Osgood’s lengthy criminal history dates back more than a decade when she was a teenager.

In July 2014, she was arrested on an acts prohibited charge in Concord, but it was nolle prossed.

A couple of months later, she was arrested on first-degree assault, robbery, second-degree assault, robbery-conspiracy, robbery-attempt, and criminal contempt charges after a stabbing incident in a Concord parking garage, in what police said was a botched robbery attempt-sex for drug money incident. In May 2015, she pleaded guilty to contempt, robbery-conspiracy, and robbery-attempt charges. Osgood received two 3.5 to seven-year sentences for the robbery charges, suspended for five years, and was required to pay $36,083.63 in restitution. On the contempt charge, she was not sentenced but given credit for 233 days of time served. Court records show Osgood violated her probation three different times and served eight months, 28 days, and 55 days in jail. In April 2017, the robbery-attempt sentence was amended to 3.5 to seven-years with 132 days of time served. Two years later, Osgood was given work release and a motion was granted to suspend the rest of the sentence, since she had served two-thirds of the minimum sentence.

Osgood was accused of conspiracy-acts prohibited in October 2016 after an incident in Concord in March of that year. In June 2016, while at the Merrimack County Jail, she was charged with assault by a prisoner; assault by an inmate. Ten months later, she pleaded guilty to both charges and received two 3.5 to seven-year sentences, both suspended for 10 years.

Osgood also sued the New Hampshire Department of Corrections in March 2023, but the civil case was dismissed due to “failure to state a claim.”

Osgood also has an active felony drug possession case out of Concord from September 2024 that was boundover earlier this year to superior court. She has a dispositional conference hearing on May 8. Osgood also failed to appear at a dispositional conference hearing in superior court on Feb. 6 on contempt, resisting, and two felony theft charges after an incident in Manchester in June 2024.

Osgood has also been previously charged with simple assault, criminal mischief, domestic violence, meth possession, sale of controlled drug, reckless conduct, theft, and breach of bail.
