A Stop At A Concord McDonald’s After A Wine Tasting Leads To Domestic Violence, Resisting, Other Charges

CONCORD, NH — A man from Concord was arrested on several charges after an incident at the Loudon Road McDonald’s Restaurant last week.

Just before 7:15 p.m. on April 3, police were sent to the Heights location for a possible domestic disturbance in progress. Dispatch told officers they believed the case involved a man and a woman, and they heard screaming in the background during the call.

The reporting officer arrived and spoke with the manager on duty, who said the incident was on the drive-thru side of the building. The officer went outside and saw a man yelling at another man, telling him to mind his own business, according to a report. The man yelling then started walking toward a vehicle. The officer ordered him to stop, but he looked at the officer and continued walking, the report stated.

The officer said the man reached into the front passenger seat of the vehicle and they grabbed onto his arm, placed it behind his back, and pulled him away from the vehicle to detain him. The officer accused the man of attempting to break free, another officer assisted, and they placed him in cuffs.

“I told him to sit on the curb,” the officer wrote. “He said, ‘Or what?’ I ordered him again to sit on the ground and assisted him down by pressing down on his left shoulder.”

The officer accused the man of giving off “a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage,” an affidavit stated.

The man “continued to yell” at other customers in the parking lot, telling them to mind their own business, and the officer told him to stop yelling at people, the affidavit said. He asked why he was being detained and not the woman since “she punched me, too,” the report said. When the officer asked him his name, he said he did not have one, the report stated.

Later, the officer identified the suspect as Jason David Stiasny, 30, of Loudon Road in Concord.

Stiasny was accused of “yelling insults and profanity at an unreasonable volume,” despite being requested not to, and wondered why the woman was not being detained since she hit him, too. When told the officers were investigating the incident, Stiasny yelled, “bull----,” the report stated.

The reporting officer spoke to the woman, who identified Stiasny, and that was confirmed via a driver’s license. She said they were back from a wine tasting and had stopped to get something to eat. Stiasny, she claimed, wanted to go to the liquor store, but she refused to take him there, believing he had already had too much to drink, the affidavit said. An argument ensued, Stiasny became angry, and punched her in the face with a closed fist, the affidavit said.

The officer eyed the woman’s face and described abrasions on her right cheekbone, the report said. When asked if the marks were from the punch, she said they were, the officer wrote. While she was in pain, she declined EMS services, saying she would go to urgent care the next day if she was still in pain.

After taking pictures of the injury, the officer spoke with Stiasny, and he was read his Miranda Rights, the officer wrote. While doing so, Stiasny said he wanted a lawyer and was told he was being arrested, the report said. During a search, Stiasny “started to hit his head off the cruiser,” the officer wrote, “leaving a dent” in the body of the cruiser. He placed in the cruiser and “continued screaming, yelling, and started banging his head and kicking the partition,” the affidavit said. Stiasny was then taken to the county jail.

Stiasny was charged with two counts of domestic violence-simple assault, two counts of simple assault, criminal mischief, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest or detention charges. He was arraigned by video on Monday and pleaded not guilty to the charges. Stiasny was given $1,000 cash bail. He is due back in Concord District Court on May 4.

Stiasny has previously been arrested on assault charges, according to posts on Patch.

In January 2013, when he was a teen living in Warner, Stiasny was accused of assaulting his brother at Genesis Eldercare on Pleasant Street, “about a story that he was telling because (the brother) tells the same story all the time and he didn’t want to hear,” according to the report.

In March 2020, he was arrested on simple assault charges after an incident in the Hutchins and Bog Road areas of the city.
