Former Concord, N.H. police officer indicted on four charges of assault
Richard Cobb was on-duty during the alleged incidents.
A former police officer for the Concord Police Department in New Hampshire has been indicted on four charges of assault in connection with two incidents last year, authorities announced.
The indictments allege that Richard Cobb “knowingly caused unprivileged contact” while on-duty on March 26, 2023 with two individuals, and then twice to the same individual on April 1, 2023, the office of the New Hampshire Attorney General said in a statement.
“Simple Assault is a class A misdemeanor,” prosecutors said. “When committed by an on-duty law enforcement officer, each count of Simple Assault is punishable by an enhanced sentence of up to 2-to-5 years in state prison and a $2,000.00 fine.”
