According to the New Hampshire State Police, dispatchers received a report of a vehicle driving “all over the road, weaving in and out of traffic, as objects were being thrown out of the window” while on Route 101 West.

A trooper at a crash scene on I-93 North near Exit 9S in Hooksett saw the vehicle, a 2001 Chevrolet Cavalier, reportedly drive by at a high rate of speed and later, clocked at 86 mph in a 65 zone. The vehicle had front-end damage and was reportedly having lane control issues.

The trooper cleared the other scene, caught up to the Chevrolet, and pulled it over just north of Exit 10.

The trooper “immediately observed that (Kingsbury-Laffond) was displaying signs of impairment,” according to the report. He was asked to get out of the vehicle but allegedly refused repeatedly. The trooper alleged that it looked like Kingsbury-Laffond was going to try to flee the scene so he was physically removed from the vehicle.

Other troopers showed up to provide assistance but Kingsbury-Laffond allegedly continued to resist. He was Tased “multiple times” with “no apparent affect,” according to the report.

Troopers later were able to get him cuffed and into the cruiser but while there, “he continued to be combative by kicking, banging his head and making multiple threats,” according to the report.

Kingsbury-Laffond was taken to Catholic Medical Center were he was reportedly sedated so that he could be evaluated. He’s due in court on July 9.
