Concord Woman Could Reach Plea Deal For Felony Charges, But Lawyer Says Other Indictments May Be Pending

CONCORD, NH — A woman from Concord with four active cases in two counties could reach a plea deal if indictments in the new cases were issued, according to her attorney.

Tara Ann Devir, 46, of Manchester Street in Concord, was in Merrimack County Superior Court on Wednesday with one of her attorneys, Mark Sisti, for a status conference hearing on two of her four active cases during the past year.

In June 2025, she was accused of possessing a “Billie” club, possessing methamphetamine and crack cocaine with intent to sell or distribute, transporting the drugs, and refusing to exit her vehicle when ordered to by Franklin police. Devir, on Jan. 8, was accused of possessing a dagger and a “Billie” club in Franklin, driving after revocation or suspension, while inside a Jeep Compass with a suspended registration.

On April 7, she was accused of possessing fentanyl and crack at the Walmart in Tilton and driving while impaired in the store’s parking lot and transporting the drugs. Those charges are in Belknap County Superior Court. Devir was out on bail at the time of the incident. Police accused her of possessing crack and transporting the drug in Franklin on April 27.

Devir has not been indicted in the latter two cases.

Brian Lee, another court-appointed attorney for Devir, was not present during the hearing.

According to court documents, Devir was listed as homeless in Concord in her latest affidavit.

Attorney Warns Of More Indictments

Superior Court Judge Dan St. Hilaire asked Sisti and Susan Venus, the prosecutor, where they were with a possible settlement of the charges.

Sisti said the attorneys would be requesting “a 60-day bump on this” since there were “unindicted charges that are floating out there” against Devir. An offer had been made, but he added, “We can’t really wrap it up until we know what we are dealing with here.”

Venus said an arraignment for the new charges had been scheduled, and she was working with Lee on the issue.

Sisti said another 60 days would put them through the indictment period on the new charges.

Prior Charges And Convictions

Devir, according to superior court paperwork, has been convicted on several prior charges.

In April 2017, she was accused of driving while intoxicated and acts prohibited in Northfield. Devir pleaded guilty to one drug charge in March 2019 and received a one-to-two-year prison sentence. A $620 fine was suspended for three years.

In April 2018, Devir was charged with three acts prohibited, falsifying physical evidence, transport drugs in a motor vehicle, and driving after revocation or suspension in two separate Concord cases. She was also charged with eight acts prohibited counts out of Franklin in two separate cases in April 2018. In Boscawen in June 2018, she was charged with acts prohibited and delivery of weapon or contraband charges after incidents at the Merrimack County Jail in Boscawen. Devir was also charged with acts prohibited, delivery of weapon or contraband, and falsifying evidence at the Merrimack County Jail in Boscawen in October 2018.

The state of New Hampshire also took $1,789 in a forfeiture case in December 2018.

In March 2019, Devir pleaded guilty to four acts prohibited, two falsifying physical evidence, and two weapon-contraband charges. She received eight suspended sentences, most of them suspended for 10 years, meaning they are still active. She was also fined, but those fines were suspended. Devir was given 190 days of time served credit for a one-year sentence on one of the charges.

A motion to suspend the sentence was denied in January 2020.

Devir is back in Merrimack County Superior Court for a status conference on Aug. 24. A hearing on the Belknap County charges, which were boundover on May 7, has not been set, according to documents.
