The officer ran the plate, followed the vehicle, and found the registration reported stolen on Aug. 21, 2023, owned by Banks Chevrolet, with a Sept. 9, 2023, expiration date. The vehicle was stopped on North State Street near Kimball Park. The driver gave a name, birthdate, and last four of his social, and the VIN reported the vehicle with “a status of ‘SOLD.’” A second officer told the first he thought he saw “a works kit” on the floor of the vehicle, the report said. After checking the name, the officer said the driver did not match the name given, the report said. When asked for an ID, the driver reportedly said he did not have one, and he was arrested for driving without a license and unregistered vehicle. During a search of the vehicle, “numerous articles of suspected drug paraphernalia” and a baggie of marijuana were found, a report said. An ID card was also found identifying the driver as Fortier. The vehicle, a Chevrolet Venture, was seized, and a search warrant was requested. Inside, a fraudulent inspection sticker, mail addressed to Fortier, blank checks owned by a woman from New Boston stolen from a property in Epsom a year before, marijuana, methamphetamine, crack cocaine, and Chichester police bail paperwork were all found in the vehicle, the affidavit stated.
