CONCORD, NH — A Goffstown man wanted on multiple active warrants was taken into custody following a pursuit in the Capital Region.
Just before 10 p.m. Sunday, May 31, State Troopers assigned to the Troop D barracks attempted to stop the driver of a pickup truck on Route 3A after reports were received that the vehicle was operating without headlights.
Troopers also learned the license plate displayed on the vehicle had previously been reported stolen.
When a Trooper attempted to conduct a traffic stop in Bow, the driver failed to stop and continued into Concord.
A pursuit was initiated.
During the pursuit, the vehicle struck multiple fixed objects and suffered significant damage.
The pursuit ended in Concord after the vehicle became disabled.
The driver then attempted to run from the vehicle but was quickly taken into custody by Troopers and identified as Jason Williams, 34, of Goffstown.
Williams was arrested and charged with operating after certification as a habitual offender, reckless conduct, disobeying an officer, resisting arrest, conduct after an accident, operating after suspension (subsequent and additional counts), reckless operation, receiving stolen property, misuse of plates, unregistered vehicle, and various motor vehicle violations.
The investigation also determined that Williams had multiple active electronic bench warrants.
Williams was held on preventive detention at the Merrimack County Department of Corrections and was scheduled to be arraigned in Concord District Court on June 1.
Troopers were assisted by members of the Concord Police Department.
