LACONIA, NH — A Belmont man was arrested after a pursuit that ended with a crash Friday night.
At 11 p.m. Friday, State Trooper Thomas Seager of the Troop E barracks attempted to stop a blue Hyundai Sonata for a violation in Laconia.
When the driver refused to stop, a pursuit ensued.
Troopers followed the vehicle through Laconia and Gilford before returning to Laconia, where the pursuit ended after the driver crashed into a telephone pole on Bowman Street.
During the pursuit, the driver struck Trooper Seager’s cruiser, causing minor damage.
The driver was taken into custody and identified as Andrew J. Decormier, 33, of Belmont.
Troopers determined Decormier had a probation warrant and additionally charged him with reckless conduct with a deadly weapon, disobeying a police officer, driving after being deemed a habitual offender, and other motor vehicle offenses.
He was held at the Belknap County Jail pending an arraignment scheduled in Laconia District Court on Monday.
