9 Arrested In Concord During NHSP DWI Saturation Patrol

CONCORD, NH — New Hampshire State Police held at least two "saturation patrols" targeting intoxicated drivers Memorial Day weekend to take "an aggressive stance to prevent persons from driving while impaired." In one of those patrols, held in the greater Concord area on Saturday, 145 vehicles were stopped and nine people were arrested. Michael Guay, 62, of Merrimack, and Kent W. Bradley III, 38, of Pembroke were charged with DWI.

Edward M. Raymond, 40, of Loudon, was charged with operating after suspension-subsequent charge and driving without giving proof while Christina Conley, 39, of Gilmanton, was also charged with operating after suspension-subsequent charge. Anthony Conley, 42, also of Gilmanton, was arrested on a drug possession warrant.

Two other drivers from out of state — Meredith Brown, 39, of Portland, Maine, and Stephen Fournier, 33, of Norwich, Connecticut — were both arrested in separate incidents and charged with operating after suspension.

State Police Lt. Michael Commerford of Troop D noted in a press statement that a 17-year-old driver was charged with operating without a license and motor vehicle infractions. He added that one of the 145 vehicles stopped was seized and a search warrant was requested for an ongoing narcotics investigation.

"New Hampshire has some of the most aggressive laws in the country to fight impaired driving and the law enforcement community will use those tools to their fullest extent to make sure our citizens and visitors are safe when operating their vehicles on our roadways," Commerford said.
