Indictment of Michael Verrocchi of the Salem Police Department on Charges of Reckless Conduct

Concord, NH – Attorney General Gordon J. MacDonald announces that Michael D. Verrocchi, age 42, of Salem, New Hampshire has been indicted by the New Hampshire Multicounty Grand Jury for one count of reckless conduct with a deadly weapon, a class B felony.

On November 10, 2012, Mr. Verrocchi, an off-duty Salem Police Officer, recklessly engaged in conduct which placed or may have placed others in danger of serious bodily injury when he operated a vehicle at a high rate of speed and engaged in a motor vehicle pursuit, failing to stop when signaled to do so by police.

This matter is scheduled for a dispositional conference in Rockingham County Superior Court on October 20, 2020.

The charges and allegations contained in the indictment are merely accusations, and Mr. Verrocchi is presumed innocent unless and until he is proven guilty.
