A detective who handles sex offender registration, on April 19, was told by another Concord police officer, about a homeless sex offender in Concord who had been arrested in Manchester at the Super 8 Motel on Brown Avenue the night before on a Concord warrant. The warrant was against Brian Bilodeau, 64, and police knew him from prior incidents in the capital city, including at least seven other registration convictions in New Hampshire. He was initially convicted of aggravated felonious sexual assault in August 1991 in Hillsborough County Superior Court.
The officer told the detective, during questioning after waiving his Miranda rights, Bilodeau “admitted that he lied on a previous sex offender registration” when stating he lived on Canton Circle, an affidavit stated. It was “the only address that came to mind,” he was accused of telling the officer. Bilodeau, the report said, had been crashing at various hotels around the state and admitted he “f—– that up” after he was released on bail previously and failed to notify the court of his address.
The detective began canvassing area hotels to see if Bilodeau had been renting rooms when he was a wanted fugitive. He was accused of staying at the Residence Inn on Hall Street in March for more than five days, requiring him to re-register with police. Bilodeau was accused of staying at the Hampton Inn in Bow for more than five days without notifying police. The detective also noted the gmail account and phone number were given to the hotel. At the Super 8 in Manchester, Bilodeau was accused of staying there for more than five days and failed to register with Concord or Manchester police. At the Fairfield Inn on Gulf Street, Bilodeau was also registered there in March for more than five days, an affidavit stated. The Quality Inn in Loudon also had him booked there in early April for more than five days, a report stated.
The detective also requested a search warrant for Facebook after finding an account under his name, an affidavit said. Meta Platforms reported back the account was created in September 2023, was still active, featured Bilodeau’s legal birthdate, and his cell phone number.

A search warrant to Google on the Gmail account stated the account was created on March 7 and had Bilodeau’s cellphone number, too, the report stated.
The cellphone, which was seized by police, matched the number and the Gmail account, the affidavit said.
A search warrant for the cellphone was requested on April 30, and after approval, the Samsung A25 unit was matched to the number and the Gmail account on the hotel rentals and Facebook account, the detective wrote.
“Bilodeau messaged numerous people known to Concord, informing them that he was out of jail and had a new phone number being the one assigned to the device I seized,” the detective wrote.
A warrant for Bilodeau was issued on May 30, for six counts of sex offender registration; fail to comply/knowingly-subsequent and two counts of registration of online identifiers, all felonies. He was arrested on June 3.

According to the Merrimack County Superior Court, he also has active registration-subsequent and bail jumping charges from April 5 out of Concord boundover on April 29 to the superior court. Bilodeau was held on preventive detention and is due back in court on July 15. An active felony duty to report charge out of Concord from November 2023, common nuisance and six acts prohibited charges from July 2023 in Concord, and two sex offender registration charges out of Concord from May 2023 will also be reviewed in July.
The affidavit noted, after being convicted in 1991, Bilodeau was convicted on duty to report in May 2003, July 2008, February 2009, September 2015, December 2019, November 2021, and October 2022.
Bilodeau is a sex offender due to aggravated felonious sexual assault and felonious sexual assault victim under 16 convictions.

CONCORD – While Republican Gov. Kelly Ayotte has said she opposes increasing highway toll rates across the state, the Senate voted Thursday to increase rates for out-of-state license plate holders.
It now goes to the House for consideration.
This would be a $1 increase for those who have out of state plates going through the tolls at Hooksett, Hampton and Bedford for out-of-state plates, a 75 cent hike for those taking Hampton’s Exit 2 and on the Spaulding turnpike at Rochester, and a 50 cent hike for those taking the exit off I-93 to Hooksett.

An analysis in the bill shows that this would increase toll revenue by $53.3 million in fiscal year 2027 and go up each year to generate $81.4 million a year in 2036.
Senate Bill 627 passed on a voice vote with two Republicans, Senators Regina Birdsell of Hampstead and William Gannon of Sandown opposing.
Senator Mark E. McConkey, R-Freedom, moved to take the bill off the table and offered an amendment. He said the last time there was a systemwide increase to the turnpike toll was 19 years ago.
“I am sure we could all agree the cost of operations…has continued to escalate when revenue is not rising with it,” and he noted that with an enterprise fund, the state can only spend what it takes in.
The state has just completed a 10-year highway plan and there was a $400 million shortfall in projects that could not be paid for under the current income.

McConkey said the measure would not increase tolls for New Hampshire drivers with a state license plate.
“Why don’t we ask our neighbors,” to pay a toll increase. “We are getting the best of all worlds,” by passing the bill, he said, including “protecting our residents” and having resources for improvements to the turnpike system.
Sen. Gannon, R-Sandown, asked McConkey if there are any studies on impacts near the border on businesses.
If implemented, McConkey said the state will be the 27th lowest in per mile cost still. McConkey said the bill would also increase from seven to 14 days the amount of time for those with NH license plates to pay for a toll adding there are other states that also have different rates for out-of-state users.
The Hampton toll cost would go from $2 to $3, while Hooksett and Bedford would rise from $1 to $2 for out-of-state plates.

New Hampshire currently has the lowest rate per mile among states with tolls roads. The governor said she does not support a toll increase.
“We are not going to put a burden on drivers for a toll increase,” Ayotte said. “Families are struggling.”

At this time, investigators are looking into the cause of the fire and are trying to determine if a power outage in the area played a factor. The fire is not currently considered suspicious.
