In December of that year, he was arrested for robbery and assault in Amherst.

In May 2012, he was arrested twice by Nashua Police for stalking-domestic violence, on May 4, and May 7, according to posts on Patch. He was later convicted of stalking according to police.

In October 2013, he was arrested on a warrant for nonpayment of a fine, according to the Nashua Police.

In February 2014, he was arrested again by Merrimack Police after allegedly communicating with a woman that had a protective order against him, according to police. He was also charged with resisting at the time and had to be Tased by police.

In December 2014, he was arrested two more times, for identity fraud and violation of privacy, after he allegedly created fraudulent social media accounts pretending to be someone else. After an investigation – including a search warrant to examine his cellphone – a warrant was issued and he was arrested by Bedford Police.

On Jan. 16, 2015, he was arrested by Bedford Police on a warrant at the Cooper Door Restaurant on Leavy Drive, where he worked at the time, for allegedly threatening to kill a woman at a business in Merrimack.

In 2015, Trythall was also indicted in Hillsborough County Superior Court for the identity fraud, protective order violations, and other charges, and again for falsifying physical evidence for allegedly pretending to be someone else while communicating with a judge.
