After a Weare woman allegedly fired a gun at a car on her property in 2024 because the driver was Black, New Hampshire’s Department of Justice sought to take action on civil rights grounds.
But the department didn’t pursue criminal hate crime charges against the woman, Diane Durgin. Instead, in addition to the criminal assault and threatening she already faces from county prosecutors, the state sued Durgin in March under the state’s Civil Rights Act. That law, a civil statute, can lead to a maximum fine of $5,000 and a range of court-ordered actions, but no jail time.
