NH Man Threatened To Blow Up Planned Parenthood Employee Cars: Police

EXETER, NH — A man from Rochester was arrested on harassment and criminal threatening charges after being accused of threatening employees at a Planned Parenthood location in town.

Officers were sent to the Planned Parenthood office in Exeter on Dec. 31, 2024, to investigate a threatening voicemail. The message, according to Exeter Police Chief Stephan Poulin, “included a person making insulting remarks to the employees” and then stating they would “use a handgun and a rifle to blow up the cars of the employees.”

Police investigated the incident, which led to a warrant against Christopher Day, 50, of Rochester. He was arrested on criminal threatening and two counts of harassment on Tuesday.

Daly was released on personal recognizance. He is due in Brentwood District Court on March 6.

In a statement, Nicole Clegg, the CEO of Planned Parenthood Northern New England, said the safety of staff and patients was a “top priority” and thanked Exeter police for their work on the matter.

“Threats like these are unacceptable and jeopardize patient care,” she said. “They also follow a disturbing trend that shows safety and security risks are on the rise across the country for providers of sexual and reproductive health care. The bottom line is that no one should face fear, harassment, or intimidation while at work or when accessing safe, legal, and basic health care.”

Clegg said the Exeter center was open and operating within its regular business hours.
