“The vehicle was passing in both the right and left lanes,” according to Sgt. Patrick Curran of the NHSP.

A trooper on the ground was radioed from the air and the Honda was pulled over in Canterbury. Lessard was arrested and charged. He’s due in Concord District Court on Jan. 8, 2016.

This isn’t Lessard’s first time getting arrested, according to online reports.

Back in February 2013, he was arrested for simple assault and criminal threatening, after an incident at the Cumberland Farms on North Main Street between himself, his girlfriend, and another man.

In August 2014, he was arrested for driving after revocation or suspension after being stopped on South Main Street. Lessard’s license was suspended in July 2013, according to police.
