ASHLAND — A Manchester man was arrested following a pursuit that started in Ashland.

The driver then fled while his passenger and dog stayed behind.
The Trooper pursued and took the driver into custody shortly after.
The driver of the Subaru was identified as Devon Knight Sanville, 22, of Manchester.
