Concord Felon Arrested On Gun, Assault, Exposure, And Other Charges
CONCORD, NH — A felon from Concord, with previous weapon charges, is facing more charges after two incidents in February.
Around 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 5, four officers were sent to Herbert Street for a report of a domestic incident. A woman told dispatch Evrin Demir Kalkan, 39, of Herbert Street in Concord, was “actively breaking things” and he had “pushed and spit on her,” an affidavit stated. When officers arrived, they found Kalkan and the woman at the home, but they were not arguing. The woman was asked to leave so the officers could speak to Kalkan.
Kalkan reportedly sat down at a kitchen table and pulled out a firearm from his waistband saying, “You obviously know I have this … let me put it away,” the affidavit stated.

The firearm dropped to the table and the officer grabbed it until another officer could arrive to take it, the reporting officer wrote. They noted they were unsure if it was loaded, but no magazine was in the gun.
When asked what was going on, Kalkan “kept his head down and would not answer any of my questions” and “mumbled and spoke in word salads,” the affidavit stated.

“It’s always going around,” Kalkan was accused of saying, with the officer adding he was not making any sense.
The officer noted brass knuckles were also taken from him. The weapons were secured in a cruiser and he was handcuffed.
Officers spoke to the woman, who accused Kalkan of being “out of control for the past two weeks.” On that evening, she accused him of breaking things, putting holes in the wall, and threatening her. Kalkan’s “homeless friends” were also over, “and they all do drugs,” the woman stated, and she was sick of it. The woman also said Kalkan spit on her earlier, although the reporting officer did not observe any spit. The complainant also stated Kalkan “shoved her from behind, and she fell onto the ground” the day before, the report said. During that altercation, she cut her finger — it had been bleeding and hurt her knee, she said.
The officer went back to Kalkan, who denied assaulting the woman, the report said. The affidavit stated, when asked about the cut on her finger, he began to cry, and said, “Never again” and yelled, “I’m sorry!”
Kalkan was arrested at 8 p.m. on Feb. 5 on carrying or selling weapons charges. A probably cause affidavit was issued on Feb. 6 for simple assault, domestic violence-simple assault charges. Since he had been arrested on disorderly conduct and indecent exposure-gross lewdness charges on Feb. 2, after an incident or investigation on Herbert Street, and was out on bail, a breach charge was added.
According to superior court records, eight days after being arrested, two felon in possession of a dangerous weapon counts were added, both felonies. The case was also boundover from Concord District Court to the superior court.
Kalkan is due back in Merrimack County Superior Court for a dispositional conference hearing on April 12.
Kalkan is no stranger to police.
Back in July 2019, Kalkan was charged with felon in possession of a dangerous weapon and carrying or selling weapons charges after an incident at Aldi on Loudon Road. In November 2019, the felony charge was nolle prossed and he pleaded guilty to the carrying or selling charge. Kalkan received a 12-month sentence, all suspended, for two years.
In February 2021, he was accused of acts prohibited out of Ashland from an incident 11 months before. He pleaded guilty to the charge in May 2022, and received a 12-month sentence, all deferred, for two years, and suspended for an additional two years.
Nearly three years ago, in May 2021, police were sent to the home for a domestic where a woman accused him of breaking glass during an argument about money and cigarettes. Kalkan was accused of grabbing the woman, taking her phone, and throwing it in the trash. He was arrested on simple assault, domestic violence-simple assault, criminal mischief, and obstruct report of crime-injury, as well as a bench warrant, due to failing to appear at an Ashland drug court hearing.

A Massachusetts man was flown to the hospital after he was struck by a car when he stepped out of his vehicle in the breakdown lane of Interstate 93 in Londonderry, New Hampshire, on Saturday morning.
State police say 40-year-old Felix Matos Medina, of Lawrence, had stopped on the right side of I-93 south at Exit 5 just before 11 a.m. to investigate a possible mechanical issue. He was struck shortly after he stepped out of his vehicle by a Chevrolet Malibu and sustained serious injuries.
Medina was taken by medical helicopter to Lahey Hospital and Medical Center in Burlington, Mass., police said. There was no immediate update on his condition.
I-93 southbound was closed near Exit 5 for about 30 minutes to facilitate the medical helicopter’s landing. One lane remained closed for several hours to accommodate crash reconstruction and on-scene investigation.
The driver who struck Medina, identified as David Jodoin, stopped at the scene and is cooperating with investigators, according to police. No charges have been filed at this time, but all aspects of the crash remain under investigation at this time.
Anyone with information that may assist the investigation is asked to contact Trooper Evan Puopolo at 603-451-9784.
State police are also reminding all New Hampshire drivers that Sherrill’s Law requires motorists approaching a stopped vehicle displaying warning signals to slow down and give plenty of space. Drivers are also required to move out of partially or wholly blocked lanes when it’s safe to do so.
