Vermont Man Arrested for Drunk Driving, Other Charges

A Vermont man was arrested this morning on I-293 for drunk driving, according to New Hampshire State Police.

Peter Dickie, 59, of Williamstown, VT, was arrested at just before noon on Jan. 26, and charged with driving while intoxicated, two counts of resisting detention or arrest, and simple assault on a police officer.

According to a report, Troop B received a call around 11:10 a.m. about a hazardous operator traveling north on the Everett Turnpike near the Bedford tollbooth plaza.

The vehicle was described as a Chevrolet Suburban with Vermont plates. The tipster stayed behind the vehicle until a state trooper working a construction detail on I-293 in Manchester observed the vehicle.

“As the vehicle approached the construction zone, it swerved into the breakdown lane,” according to Staff Sgt. N. Noyes. “At the last minute, the vehicle pulled back into the travel lane, just missing the State Police Cruiser.”

The trooper stopped the vehicle a short distance later. The driver, Dickie, was allegedly “uncooperative with Troopers on scene and attempted to exit his vehicle while it remained in gear,” according to police.

Noyes noted that any time motorists see something suspicious or dangerous, they should call police. Anyone who may have seen Dickie driving is also urged to contact Trooper F. Campo at the New Hampshire State Police – Troop B Barracks at 603-223-4381.
