Flashed Gun During I-93 Road Rage Incident Leads To Dope Bust: New Hampshire State Police

HOPKINTON, NH — A road rage incident on one Interstate led to a drug bust on another on Wednesday, according to New Hampshire State Police.

Around 11 a.m., a trucker on Interstate 93 north in Bow called 911 to report a road rage incident. The driver accused another driver of pointing a gun at him on the highway, Amber Lagace, the public information officer for state police, said.

“The tractor-trailer driver was able to provide a description of the suspect and continually updated dispatchers with the suspect’s location,” she said. “Troopers located the suspect vehicle on Interstate 89 north in Hopkinton and conducted a high-risk motor vehicle stop.”

The vehicle's driver was identified as Matthew Therrien, 33, of Killington, Vermont. He was arrested on criminal threatening with a deadly weapon and possession of marijuana with intent to distribute charges, both felonies. State police accused him of having around 1.75 pounds of marijuana and several hundred other marijuana-infused products, Lagace said.

Therrien was released on personal recognizance and is due in Merrimack County Superior Court on Feb. 13 for arraignment.

State police asked anyone who witnessed this event or has any information to contact Trooper Caleb Savard at 603-227-4107 or Caleb.C.Savard@dos.nh.gov.
