Concord police have arrested a Tennessee man and charged him with sexual assault for acts that allegedly occurred in Concord in the 1990s.
Ronald “Renny” Burr, 54, was arrested Wednesday in Knoxville, Tenn., by Concord and Tennessee police and charged with five counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault and two more counts of felonious sexual assault for alleged “serious and recurrent sexual abuse” of a child who was living in Concord in the 1990s.
The victim came forward to Concord police in December 2016, starting an investigation that ultimately led to Burr’s arrest.
After an arrest warrant was issued charging Burr with being a felony fugitive from justice, Concord police detectives traveled to Knoxville to make the arrest.
Burr will be arraigned at the Knoxville County Felony Session Court in the next 10 days, and New Hampshire plans to extradite him after his arraignment.
He will be arraigned at Concord’s Circuit Court, but a date has yet to be set. Police said it could be weeks until Burr is arraigned.
Concord police arrested Burr with the assistance of the U.S. Marshals Service in New Hampshire and the U.S. Marshals Smoky Mountains Fugitive Task Force, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the Knoxville Police Department.
New Hampshire and Tennessee police continue to investigate the case to see if any other victims come forward.
