Mom, Out On Bail After Drug, Endangerment Arrest, Bagged Again

MANCHESTER, NH — A local woman, who was arrested five days before on drug and endangerment charges, has been charged again after a motor vehicle stop in Manchester. Tara Hoisington, 30, upper left, of Manchester, was arrested on March 6, 2018, for possession of a controlled drug-crack cocaine. Also arrested were Alexandria Clarke, 33, lower left, and Lee Gonzalez, 48, both of Manchester, for possession of a controlled drug-crack cocaine.

According to police, at just before 5 p.m. on Tuesday, detectives with the department’s street crime unit stopped a motor vehicle on the West Side for reportedly failing to use a turn signal onto Granite Street. The detectives spoke to the driver – Hoisington – and two passengers, Lt. Brian O'Keefe of the Manchester Police Department noted in a press statement. During the interaction and subsequent investigation, police allegedly found all three to be in possession of small amounts of crack cocaine and they were arrested.

Hoisington was released on $1,000 cash/surety bail and is due in Hillsborough County Superior Court-North on March 15. Gonzalez and Clarke were both released on $3,000 personal recognizance bail and are scheduled to appear in Hillsborough County Superior Court-North on March 22.

Hoisington was arrested earlier this month on felony possession of a controlled drug-heroin and endangering the welfare of a child after allegedly being found passed out in an SUV in Manchester with heroin near a child. Clarke, according to a post on Patch last year, was indicted in Hillsborough County Superior Court-North on a crack possession charge. Gonzalez – who lived in Lawrence, MA, last year, according to police – was arrested in Bedford on driving after revocation or suspension and manufacturing/selling official inspection/registration sticker charges.
