When charged as a Class A misdemeanors, such crimes carry penalties of up to one year in the house of correction and/or a $2,000 fine.

Ted Lothstein has handled many hearings and trials in this Court, which was actually located in Seabrook until very recently, and also back in the 1990s and early 2000s when this same court was located in an old building in Hampton and was known as the Hampton District Court. Back then, the presiding judge was Hon. Francis "Whitey" Frasier, a legendary judge who is much-missed by many prosecutors and criminal defense lawyers.
