According to state police, Holding was seen from the air by the department’s special enforcement unit, which is out in full force due to the Labor Day weekend. The trooper allegedly saw “a vehicle traveling at an extremely high rate of speed” and reportedly tracked it going 111 mph in a 65 mph zone. Troopers on the ground were informed about the allegation as the motorcycle exited off highway at Exit 13 in Concord.

Holding wasn’t pulled over for another five miles after state police tracked him down on Manchester Street in Pembroke. He was arrested, processed, and given an Oct. 14, court date.

“The NH State Police Special Enforcement Unit regularly interdicts elevated speed violations and other aggressive driving behaviors,” Lt. Sean Haggerty of the NHSP said in a statement. “Its members patrol across the state often utilizing the State Police aircraft during commuter traffic periods and holiday travel times with the goal of keeping New Hampshire’s roadways safe for all residents and visitors.”
