Rajan J. Fenner, born 1997, of Riverhead, New York, was arrested at 2:38 a.m. on May 30 on criminal trespass and false report to law enforcement charges. He was arrested after an incident or investigation at the Hotel Concord at 11 S. Main St.

Destiny Nicole Armentrout, 26, of Washington Street in Concord was arrested at 10:06 p.m. on May 12 on a simple assault charge. An officer was sent to a Washington Street apartment at around 5:30 p.m. on May 11 for a report of an incident. After fire and rescue teams checked out a person, another person in the apartment requested to speak to an officer. The woman said Armentrout assaulted her the previous day after she accused her of stealing cigarettes, according to an affidavit. An argument ensued and the victim accused Armentrout of attempting to slap her, just missing her face. However, she connected with her neck, which led to a scratch injury, the report stated. The officer spoke to Armentrout about the incident, and she denied hitting the victim, an affidavit said, claiming an animal scratched the woman’s neck. Armentrout’s fingernails were examined and “were not short but were not noticeably long either,” the officer wrote. A dog was checked at the apartment, too, but their nails did not appear to be sharp enough to cause the scratch. On May 12, the officer spoke with the victim by phone again about the incident, and she denied the dog scratched her. She said if the dog had scratched her, it probably would have been vertical, not horizontal. The report stated that the dog’s nails had also been trimmed previously. A warrant was then issued for Armentrout’s arrest.
Alvin Bargblor, born 1983, of Concord was arrested at 10:08 p.m. on May 11 on a driving while intoxicated charge and a lane control violation after an incident or investigation on North State Street.

New Hampshire: So, So Awesome, Though I Did Lose My Nerve for a Time – Part I – The Trek
This is a story not about scenic views, wildflowers, animals, people met, towns encountered, but some reality, at least mine, of things we often do not talk about in the hiking community. In retrospect, the first 1,800+ miles headed north on my thru hike of the Appalachian Trail (AT) were certainly taxing and replete with various challenges that I had to work through, learn from, and make adjustments. However, realistically not much on the AT at that point, and per my years of previous hiking experiences, prepared me mentally for what I would encounter in New Hampshire.
Welcome to idyllic New Hampshire.
More idyllic New Hampshire. Not so fast, Mr. Hiker guy, can’t do the same moves as before.
New Hampshire Hiking
Frankly, New Hampshire is a beast and I do mean that in a positive and respectful manner. The hiking in New Hampshire is so technically difficult from other areas within the U.S. and abroad that I have hiked. It seemed like I was constantly bouldering, scrambling, using handholds, fording high, swift creeks/rivers, navigating massive descents with no “guardrails,” or in May encountering hour-by-hour changing weather (e.g., snow, hail, sleet, rain, wind).
A granite face. Down we go.
Crazy Descent
When I hike, I do carry with me a healthy dose of fear, which I find to be positive. For me, fear operates as a navigating tool related to risks, focusing my mind, calming my emotional state, or strengthening my thought processes/decision-making.
On a few AT sections early on in New Hampshire, such as the northbound massive descent (Beaver Brook Cascades) down from Mount Moosilauke in a snow and sleet storm, my revolve and fear-cooping mechanisms seemed to become a negative version of “scared” with every step given the large amounts of this winter’s snow and ice, slippery rock faces, micro spikes and/or trial runners not adhering well to granite, and so on. In my mind, and probably quite true given the weather and trail conditions, danger of a fall, injury, or worse appeared to be at every turn and step. A 3+ mile very steep descent turned into a 3 to 4 hour mental stress test that I am pretty sure I “failed.”
Snow and ice up and down the mountain.
I was warned.
Rising Waters
The next day, I hiked about 17 miles from Kinsman Notch to Franconia Notch, and it had rained a lot in that section of the AT during the previous two days. During my ascent of Mount Kinsman, it continued to rain and rain. I must of forded 6 to 8 rivers, or maybe just the same river that amount of times, but as the day wore on, the water levels in these river(s) kept rising. I am almost 6’3” tall and by the end of the hiking day, I was fording river water mid- to upper-thigh and in super swift conditions. Again, like the previous Mousilauke experience, my positive fear started to become something more negative and mentally paralyzing thinking about the inherent risk involved in fording a deep, swift river late in the day and with no other option to get to the other side of a flooded out AT.
Various extremely sketchy river fords.
A Reset
After these experiences, and frankly losing my confidence, I took a few days off to level set, so I stayed at the wonderful Notch Hostel. To date, the Notch is my favorite hostel on the trail. The staff were so welcoming, warm, and always available. The hostel was super clean and friendly and had very fair expectations related to how hikers et al. should live there as well as treat the hostel environment. After at reset, I went back out and did a 27-mile hike in a few days of the famed Franconia Ridge over Mounts Lafayette and Lincoln, South Twin Mountain, and others. This was a very challenging hike, but one that I needed to do to gain my nerve back and reestablish mentally my healthy level of fear instead of hiking scared per possible ‘what if’ scenarios of serious injury and beyond.
Moving into Part II
So, in the end, it was fine to lose my nerve for a time and be scared in certain hiking situations. The key for me was in recognizing the latter state, trying to mentally review the circumstances, and learn from these experiences. Then, I needed to physically go back out in challenging conditions and hike. I feel really good about New Hampshire and what is to come on the AT. My part II, if you will, will be informed from my part I. I can’t wait for more of New Hampshire.
A new day rising.
