The vehicle didn’t come to a complete stop on Broadway, according to the report, so the officer followed the vehicle and pulled it over on Downing Street. The driver allegedly gave the officer a phony name and couldn’t provide registration for the vehicle. The name and birth date the man gave wasn’t in the state system, according to dispatch. The officer double-checked the information and then asked for a phone number but he reported told the officer that he forgot the number. He also couldn’t remember his SSI number, according to the report. Another officer arrived and looked up the man’s name on Facebook from Concord, NH, but the driver didn’t match that man.
