Merrimack Man Charged After Starting Argument, Punching Hole in Wall

A Merrimack man who police say started a verbal argument with family members and ended up punching a hole in the wall was arrested over the weekend.

Police responded to Fairway Drive at 9:54 p.m. on Sunday for a report of a domestic disturbance, and arrested Jeffrey Jenness, 35, of Fairway Drive, Merrimack, on two counts of criminal mischief.

Police say they learned the details of the incident from talking with family members on the premises. In addition to punching a hole in the wall, police say Jenness also damaged a door.

After being booked at the Merrimack Police Department, Jenness refused the services of a bail commissioner. He was held overnight at the Hillsborough House of Corrections pending an arraignment on Monday, Sept. 9.
