OSSIPEE — Carroll County prosecutors are seeking to impose additional state prison time on an elderly inmate convicted of domestic violence who is seeking release from the county jail because of COVID-19 fears.

Carroll County Superior Court Judge Amy Ignatius ruled last month that Terrance Perkins, 73, of Tamworth could serve his sentence from home since the jail superintendent said he couldn’t keep him safe from COVID-19 behind bars.
