Halloran was arrested after police were sent to a report of a two-vehicle crash on the road. He was transported to a medical facility for treatment of the injuries and released later on a summons.

Halloran is due in court on Jan. 5.

According to New Hampshire State Police, Halloran was arrested on June 7, 2016, on Route 101 in Keene. He was charged with two counts of DUI and speeding 21 to 25 mph over the 55 limit.

Halloran made national headlines in 2010 when, as a Democrat running for state representative, he joked online, wishing that Sarah Palin and her daughter’s ex-boyfriend had died in a plane crash instead of former U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens, R-AK. He later apologized for the comment and withdrew from the race.
