Amherst Teen Arrested After Accident

A local teenager will be in court next week to answer to a conduct after an accident charge issued by the Merrimack Police yesterday.

Joseph Barowski, 17, of Baboosic Lake Road in Amherst, was arrested on May 17, 2015, after police issued a warrant for his arrest.

According to Sgt. Dennis Foley of the Merrimack Police Department, police were called to a local eating establishment on the Daniel Webster Highway to investigate an accident report. According to a patron, he was about to leave the parking lot of the establishment when another patron informed him that a vehicle had backed into his parked vehicle. The driver of the other vehicle later left the scene without leaving contact information, according to the witness.

“The witness was able to provide a vehicle description and registration information to him,” according to Foley. “After a brief investigation it was determined that Barowski was the operator of that vehicle.”

Police issued a warrant for his arrest and Barowski reported to police headquarters at around 1:15 p.m. on May 17. He was released on personal recognizance bail and is due in court on May 26.
