DescriptionNew Hampshire’s top-ranking Democratic Senator was arrested by Concord police Thursday on domestic violence charges, including four counts of simple assault, the attorney general’s office announced.

Senate Democratic Leader Jeff Woodburn, 53, of Whitefield was charged with four counts of simple assault, two counts of domestic violence, two counts of criminal mischief and one count of criminal trespassing, the office said.

In a two-page release, the attorney general’s office laid out a string of charges involving abusive behavior directed at an “adult female victim” spanning from August 2017 to June 2018.

The charges allege that Woodburn struck, bit and threw objects at the victim, and forced his way through a locked door and into her residence.

Woodburn was processed at the Concord Police Department and released Thursday evening on $500 cash bail and $10,000 personal recognizance, according to Senior Assistant Attorney General Geoffrey Ward.
