NEWFIELDS A former Newfields man who has a “thing for signs” has agreed to plead guilty to stealing more than two dozen signs from the White Mountain National Forest.
Dwayne Grim, 52, will plead guilty June 3 in federal court to one count of destruction of government property as part of a negotiated plea deal reached with prosecutors.
The USDA Forest Service law enforcement officers first reported signs going missing from the national forest in the fall of 2016. The perpetrator, according to court documents, would regularly use a saw to cut the wooden posts in order to remove the signs.
It wasn t until Grim called Newfields police on Jan. 14, 2018, that officers were able to determine who was responsible.

BRENTWOOD – A Rockingham Superior Court judge has once again rejected a bail hearing for a Massachusetts state trooper charged with allegedly head-butting and strangling his extramarital girlfriend.
Attorney Hank Brennan, representing Sgt. Bryan Erickson, filed a motion for a new bail hearing arguing circumstances have changed since his client was last denied bail.
In the motion, Brennan states the alleged victim, who had filed for a restraining order against Erickson, failed to appear at the May 4 hearing, and as a result the temporary order was dismissed by the Family Court. Given the alleged victim s deliberate absence from the restraining order hearing and her abandonment of the restraining order, the defendant raises the change in circumstance as a basis for the court to reconsider its bail order, Brennan wrote in the motion.
