Wilton Man With Active Warrants Arrested After Police Serve Search Warrant

WILTON — A routine patrol led to the arrest of a local man wanted on multiple warrants after Wilton Police officers served a search warrant at his residence on Main Street.

At around 4:12 p.M. On March 27, Officer Keith Masse of the Wilton Police Department was passing by 950 Main Street when he recognized the property owner, Steven Marin, who was known to have three active arrest warrants.

Upon returning to the residence after a brief period, Marin had retreated inside.

A perimeter was swiftly established by the Wilton Police, and Officer Masse obtained a search warrant for Marin's property.

By 7:35 p.M., the warrant was executed, and Marin was apprehended inside the home without resistance.

Following the arrest, Marin was transported to the Franklin County Detention Center for booking.

Additionally, a dog found in the residence was taken care of by the officers until a family member of Marin's arrived to assume responsibility for the pet.

Chief Ethan Kyes of the Wilton Police Department confirmed the events and the successful custody of Marin without any disturbances.

Van Ostern Jumps Into 2nd C.D. Democratic Primary Race

Mar. 28—CONCORD — Former Executive Councilor and 2016 Democratic nominee for governor Colin Van Ostern of Concord became the first candidate to announce that he will seek the 2nd Congressional District seat currently held by U.S. Rep. Annie Kuster.

Kuster, D-N.H., who is in her sixth term, said Wednesday she would not seek reelection.

Van Ostern, 45, said that if elected, he would take a bipartisan, can-do spirit to Washington.

"It's no secret our democracy has been deeply damaged in recent years," Van Ostern said. "We're all exhausted by fringe extremists trying to tear us apart while powerful interests rig the system for themselves, but we can fix this.

"It starts with putting people first for a change."

Van Ostern, a native of Carlsbad, California, came to New Hampshire in 2001. He worked for Stonyfield Farm Yogurt and ran a political consulting firm before winning the first of his two terms on the Executive Council in 2012.

When then-Gov. Maggie Hassan decided to run for U.S. Senate in 2016, Councilors Van Ostern and Republican Chris Sununu of Newfields sought their parties' nominations.

Van Ostern easily won the Democratic primary, while Sununu edged conservative Frank Edelblut of Wilton, who later became Sununu's education commissioner.

Sununu narrowly won the general election by 2%, though Van Ostern received a majority of the votes in the 2nd District.

"We can, and must, do better," Van Ostern said. "That takes winning, and this is an open seat in a swing district that is once again going to be hotly contested by both parties."

Since 2018, Van Ostern has worked as a vice president at Southern New Hampshire University, where he helped launch its nationally recognized online program College to America. He later was president and chief operating officer of Alumni Ventures, a Manchester-based venture capital firm.

In December 2018, he narrowly lost a bid to unseat then-Secretary of State Bill Gardner in a legislative vote.

This wasn't the plan

In an interview Thursday, Van Ostern said that serving in Congress wasn't part of his career plan, but Kuster's decision convinced him the time was right to launch this campaign.

"I wouldn't be doing this if I wasn't convinced that Congress is broken and it's time to send people down there who are going to fight both the extremists and the powerful interests to get things done for working families," Van Ostern said.

Van Ostern said the top issue facing voters is increasing costs. He pledged to support legislation to lower costs for housing, child care and health care, and post-high school education.

"On the council I helped make Medicaid expansion a reality, which led to dramatically lower health care costs for working families without a sales or income tax," Van Ostern said. "Those are the solutions we should be working on in Washington."

Van Ostern said he would embrace two of Kuster's priorities — protection of women's reproductive rights and improved delivery of services to veterans.

Van Ostern said he will seek the endorsement of Kuster and other elected officials across the district, which spans the entire western half of New Hampshire.

"I can't promise I will agree with you on every issue, but I will always keep an open mind," Van Ostern wrote in an open letter to supporters. "I will always look for common ground and no one will work harder."

Van Ostern said he would support a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on members of Congress and "common sense" gun control, to include closing the criminal background checks loophole and restricting public ownership of what he called "weapons of war" on the nation's streets.

FARMINGTON – Doctors Timothy Saulter and Tyler Reichert with Western Mountain Chiropractic are thrilled to announce their relocation to a new office, located at 444 Wilton Road (Route 2) in Farmington, across from Hight Chervolet. Formerly, the office was located on Front Street in downtown Farmington. In addition, they have expanded the office hours to better accommodate their patients' schedules and streamline appointments.

Western Mountain Chiropractic is committed to a collaborative approach to patient care, earning trust and confidence of each patient and medical provider involved in that patient's care. Dr. Saulter and Dr. Reichert specialize in the treatment and management of musculo-skeletal conditions of the spine and extremities, delivering individualized and effective care for each patient. Individual treatment plans can include chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy, physiotherapy such as hot packs and cryotherapy, and both remedial and preventive stretches and exercises. Patients will be referred to the most appropriate provider if at any time it is felt the treatment plan is not effective.

"Our office prides itself on getting people better as quickly as possible," Dr. Saulter said, adding that they don't want patients to be stuck in a cycle of seeking treatment, instead aiming to address the issues and promote healing and wellbeing.

Dr. Saulter has over thirty years experience in providing chiropractic care and while he will eventually retire, he continues to provide care alongside Dr. Reichert, who joined the practice last October.

In addition, massage therapist Lee Brandwein who has been working with Western Mountain Chiropractic, has also made the move to the new location.

Current and new patients are invited to visit the new office at 444 Wilton Road in Farmington, visit the website and Facebook page, or call the office at 207-778-6464 with inquiries.
