Man Allegedy Kicks Cop After Refusing to Pose for Mugshot: Log

CONCORD, NH - Richard A. Ducharme, 55, of Clinton Street in Bow, was arrested at 4:35 p.m. on Jan. 5, 2016, for driving while intoxicated after a crash between a Ford pickup and a Mazda CX-5 on North Main Street at Storrs Street. The officer found out that no one was injured and asked the drivers to move their cars out of traffic. While doing so, the officer noted that the pickup drifted into the center lane and then made a wide right turn into the Holiday Inn parking lot. “When doing so, the Ford overshot the entrance and drove into a snow bank,” the officer alleged. “The Ford then backed up and completed the turn into the parking lot at which point it pulled forward into a parking space and again collided into a snow bank where it came to a final rest.” After another officer arrived, the officer went to speak to a woman who reported that as she merged into traffic, the pickup rear-ended her. The other driver, she alleged, stated that his foot slipped off the brake. “Richard told her that he had insurance and not to call police,” she alleged in the report, adding that he allegedly smelled like alcohol. The officer then spoke to Ducharme, who reportedly stated he was at “CJ’s Tomato,” with slurred speech, according to the report. When asked if he meant CC Tomatoes, he reportedly stated yes, while allegedly swaying. Ducharme agreed to field sobriety tests and was arrested. He is due in court on Jan. 25.

He allegedly stated he was at a party but didn’t know if he had been drinking, according to the report. The officer noted that Kharel’s vehicle had “extensive denting” but its driver airbags hadn’t deployed. “Based on the extensive damage to vehicle #1, and distance from the entrance to the parking lot from Christian Ave. and the point of impact (67 feet), I determined that vehicle #1 had been traveling at a speed greater that reasonable or prudent for the prevailing road conditions,” the officer reported. While speaking with the officers, Kharel was allegedly swaying from side to side while leaning against a wall, offering “slow and lethargic” facial reactions. After discussing the accident and what had gone on for a bit longer, he was arrested. Cash bail was set at $5,000 and he was arraigned the next day.
