Man Accused Of Punching Concord Cop, Gets Tased Twice: Police Log

CONCORD, NH — Shawn M. Sullivan, 37, of Stickney Avenue in Concord was arrested at 3:06 a.m. on May 30, 2021, on assault, loitering or prowling, and resisting arrest or detention charges. An officer on patrol in the Storrs Street Garage saw a man standing on the top-level railing. He spoke with the man and warned him he could not hang out in the garage. The man countered, "I don’t see any signs," an affidavit stated. The officer said there were multiple "no loitering" signs throughout the garage. When asked for his name, the man said, "John Doe," according to a report, while adding he didn't know if he was going to leave the garage or not. The officer said the man was moving around as if he was going to fight him and wouldn't take his hands out of his pockets. After a few minutes requesting that he show his hands and stop moving around, the officer pulled out his Taser and warned the man again to stop, an affidavit said. When he refused, the man was Tased but the probes did not go through the man's sweatshirt, the officer wrote. The man continued the fighting stance and was hit with the Taser again but this shot also did not go through his clothes, the report stated. The man then took a swing at the officer, hit him in the arm, and the officer punched back, the report stated. The reporting officer and a second officer then took the man to the ground where he struggled but was eventually handcuffed. When asked again for his name, he replied, "John Doe," the report stated. The reporting officer was able to identify the man as Sullivan via a New Hampshire EBT card. Sullivan, the officer wrote, reported being armed with a Glock handgun with hypodermic needles in his shoes but the officer said the items were not found. Sullivan is due in Merrimack County Superior Court on June 24 on a felon in possession of a weapon charge from April 1 in Concord.
