MANCHESTER, N.H. – Shortly after 3 a.m. on Wednesday morning, police officers arrested Christopher Martin, 44, of Dubuque Street.
Officers arrived at 393 Dubuque St. following a noise complaint made at about 2 a.m., with Martin allegedly swearing at the officers as they arrived and identified themselves.
Martin eventually opened the door while brandishing a small sword still in its sheath, continuing to swear and act aggressively toward the officers, according to police.
Concerned for their safety, the officers asked Martin to drop the sword, but Martin became combative, police said. Eventually, Martin was subdued after being tased multiple times.
Martin was charged with alleged Criminal Threatening, Simple Assault, Disorderly Conduct and Resisting Arrest. He will be in Hillsborough Superior Court North on July 11, 2019.
Anyone accused of a crime is innocent unless proven guilty by a court of law.
