According to state police, a trooper from Troop B in Bedford was patrolling the highway and observed a Hyundai Accent having mechanical issues. The driver – Erceg – was driving with the vehicle’s flashers on at a slow speed and was impeding traffic.

The trooper stopped the vehicle and checked Erceg and found the outstanding warrants out of Pennsylvania from 12 years ago for burglary and theft.

“Pennsylvania authorities were contacted and they advised that they would seek to have Erceg extradited to face her charges in Pennsylvania,” according to Sgt. Callinan of the NHSP.

Erceg is being held at the Valley Street Jail in Manchester and will be arraigned later today.
