TAMWORTH — A 54-year-old man who was charged earlier this year with attacking a New Hampshire state trooper is facing seven new charges after police say he bit a Carroll County sheriff's deputy. In addition, Tamworth Police Chief Dana Littlefield broke a pinky in a confrontation with him last Saturday.
Jonathan G. Newcomb was arrested at his mother's residence on White Mountain Highway in Tamworth after police were called to remove him.
