   CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A Democratic state lawmaker convicted in August   
   of repeatedly texting 911 during non-emergencies is now jailed on a   
   stalking charge related to a Facebook post.   
      
   Rep. Stacie Laughton, 37, of Nashua, who was arrested Nov. 12, is   
   accused of violating a court order that prohibits her from posting   
   on social media about another woman. According to court documents,   
   prosecutors also are seeking to impose a suspended sentence of up to   
   nine months she was given last year.   
      
   In that case, Laughton was accused of texting 911 “for no emergency   
   or police related matter” a dozen times between May and July 2021.   
   Nine of the 12 charges were dropped, and on the others, she was   
   ordered to perform community service, participate in a peer support   
   program and remain on good behavior.   
      
   In 2012, Laughton was believed to be the first transgender person   
   elected to a state legislature, but she never took her seat,   
   resigning after reports of a prior felony conviction raised   
   questions about her legal ability to serve.
