MANCHESTER, NH — A convicted felon was arrested on more felony charges after police were called to a Queen City apartment to remove unwanted guests yesterday, according to police. Chad Cyr, 34, of Manchester, was arrested on Aug. 28, 2017, possession of controlled drug with intent to distribute-crack cocaine, felonious use of a firearm, convicted felon, two counts possession of controlled drug-Suboxone, marijuana, possession of prescription drug, resisting arrest or detention, unsworn falsification, several outstanding Manchester Police Department theft-related warrants, and a parole violation warrant. Police were sent to Myrtle Street in Manchester for a request to remove “several unwanted guests” from a first-floor apartment, according to Lt. Brian O’Keefe of the Manchester Police Department.

The officers identified three subjects – a Manchester teen, a woman from New London and a man from Concord who were not charged – but reportedly had difficulty getting information from another man.

“The officers conducted a pat down search and discovered a metal container filled with 24 individually wrapped bags of a substance believed to be crack cocaine,” O’Keefe alleged. “He fled the apartment and attempted to evade police as soon as the officers located the drugs.”

One of the officers caught up with him and took him into custody without incident.

Officers allegedly located 32 Suboxone strips, 2.2 grams of marijuana, an unloaded 9 mm handgun, assorted prescription pills, two small bags of a substance believed to be cocaine, and three scales during an inventory search of his backpack, according to O’Keefe.

Cyr was held without bail and is scheduled to be arraigned today.

According to a post on Salem NH Patch, Cyr, who was living in Boston at the time, was arrested nearly two years ago on felony theft by unauthorized taking due to two prior convictions, conduct after an accident, and driving after revocation or suspension-subsequent charges after alleged incidents in that community. He was housed in the Middletown House of Corrections at the time of the arrest. In June 2015, he was arrested on warrants and in July 2015, he was arrested on warrants and a fugitive from justice charge in Massachusetts, according to reports online. Cyr was also arrested in November 2014, in Hooksett, after he allegedly stole a Walmart customer’s purse, according to the New Hampshire Union Leader.
