Belknap County grand jury issues indictments

Brendan Boyle, 41, of Crescent Street, Laconia, a Tier II registered sex offender, is facing a Class A felony charge of failure to comply with the duty to report.

A Belknap County Superior Court Grand Jury handed up the indictment during the January session, after police presented evidence that Boyle had failed to report in person to the Laconia Police Department within five days of Sept. 28, 2019, as required by law.

The indictment states that Boyle has two previous convictions on charges of failure to report, in November 2010 and October 2019. Conviction on the current charge would be a Class A felony.

An indictment is not a finding of guilt, but an independent jury’s decision, after hearing from police, that sufficient evidence exists to warrant a court trial.

The grand jury also handed up indictments against Christopher Ladnay, 33, of Laconia Road, Belmont, alleging he possessed a “push knife dagger” in Laconia on Oct. 20, 2019, making him a felon in possession of a deadly weapon, and that he had a quantity of fentanyl in his possession, both of the charges constituting Class B felonies.
