Andover, Massachusetts, Man Arrested On Stalking, Protective Order Charges In Concord: Follow-Up

CONCORD, NH — A man now living in Massachusetts will be back in Concord District Court next month after being accused of stalking a woman earlier this year.

Scott Alexander Martyr, 44, of Hidden Road in Andover, MA, was arrested in May on stalking and violation of a protective order charges.

On the morning of May 25, police were sent to Beacon Street for a report of a possible stalking incident. A woman accused Martyr of sending her a message via the Family Wizard app, in violation of an order issued in January.

An officer confirmed the order was active through February 2027, the report stated. A section of the order stated the couple could communicate with each other in writing, but only about parenting issues, according to an affidavit. The app was set up by the court, according to an affidavit.

The officer met with the complainant and she shared a message from Martyr in which he requested she refrain from using the platform “to make false accusations or create negative narratives about my parenting” and other issues, the report stated. He said she was making complaints about him exposing their child to chemicals and allowing excessive screen time, according to the affidavit. Martyr also claimed she was communicating with a school in a way that “only reinforces a negative perception of me” in an “effort to damage and cause harm,” which, he said, was “terrifying.”

“I do not wish harm on you or your life,” the affidavit claimed Martyr wrote. “These comments fell intentionally malicious.”

On July 3, 2025, he was arrested on a simple assault charge after an incident on Beacon Street.

A week later, on July 10, 2025, the stalking and protective order violations were placed on file without a finding for a period of one year based on good behavior “defined as no new misdemeanors or major motor vehicle violations as defined by (state) statute” and compliance with court orders.

According to police records, Martyr was accused of assaulting a neighbor after the neighbor reportedly offered to be a witness for the victim in another legal matter. Martyr was accused of confronting the neighbor on June 22, 2025, and telling him not to get involved in the proceedings. When told to leave his property, Martyr was accused of failing to leave, an affidavit stated. After repeatedly requests to leave and Martyr refusing, the neighbor was assaulted, the report stated.

While looking at one of statements, the victim noted a purchase was made at what looked to be an online weapons supply store out of Wisconsin for $223.20 on April 28, 2025, the day after he was released from jail.
