Pembroke Man, With Active Meth Dealing Charges, Arrested Again

HOOKSETT, NH — A capital region man accused of dealing methamphetamine was arrested on a drug possession in Hooksett Wednesday.

According to police, on June 6, an officer stopped a motor vehicle for a line violation in the road and spoke with the driver, Ryan Emmett, 42, of Pembroke, and he was arrested on a warrant. During an inventory of the car, according to Sgt. Joseph Ducharme of the Hooksett Police Department, Emmett was accused of being in possession of a syringe with an unknown substance.

"A search warrant for the vehicle was then completed, approved, and a thorough search of the vehicle was conducted," Ducharme said. "Additional syringes with the same substance were located. Emmett later admitted that the syringes were his. A lab test revealed that the syringes contained methamphetamine."

A warrant was issued for Emmett's arrest on a possession of methamphetamine charge. He was arrested Wednesday at the Belknap County Jail and taken to the Hooksett Police Department headquarters for booking and processing. Emmett was released on personal recognizance bail and is due in Merrimack County Superior Court Dec. 17.

Emmett has two active drug cases in Hillsborough County Superior Court North. He was accused of sale of methamphetamine in Manchester on June 2 and in Amherst on June 24. Emmett is due back in court on Oct. 2. In March, he was arrested by Concord police on bench warrants issued by state police as well as two assault charges after being accused of grabbing a woman's cellphone and sucker-punching her while driving on Loudon Road.
