Two Charged After I-89 On-Ramp Crash In Bow

BOW, NH — Two local residents were arrested on charges last night after a pursuit on I-93 North that led to a crash at the junction with I-89 in Bow, according to New Hampshire State Police. Allan Fish, 21, of Manchester, and Timiah Wilkins, 20, of Concord, were arrested on July 11, 2017, arraigned this morning on numerous charges. At around 6:15 p.m. last night, state troopers were performing traffic enforcement on foot at the Hooksett tolls when one attempted to flag down a red Toyota Corolla with an invalid inspection sticker, according to reports.

The female driver, however, allegedly failed to stop and sped, “passing other cars in the breakdown lane as it proceeded northbound,” according to Staff Sgt. Charles Johnston of Troop D.

The trooper ran to his cruiser in an attempt to catch up to the vehicle. He did so just before the I-93 and I-89 junction in Bow. According to an affidavit, the Corolla took the I-89 North on-ramp at a high rate of speed and then crashed into a sign and then, some bushes behind the Pitco facility in Bow.

The trooper pulled up to the crash and found that the driver – later identified as Wilkins – had allegedly fled the scene. A male passenger – later identified as Fish – reportedly crawled from his seat to the driver’s side window and also fled into the bushes.

The trooper allegedly shouted at him to stop but he allegedly looked back at the trooper and then, fled into the bushes, and took off running toward the Grappone dealerships.

A witness who alleged that Wilkins drove other cars off the road stopped and met with state police to give a statement while they spoke with a female rear passenger in the vehicle, according to an affidavit. The woman reportedly told the trooper that she told Wilkins to stop the vehicle and Wilkins allegedly told her to shut up.

The trooper noted in the affidavit that Wilkins’ license was suspended in November 2016, and she had two prevision suspension convictions out or Concord District Court in June 2015, and Franklin District Court in August 2016. She also had an active warrant out of Merrimack County.

Fish, according to a court affidavit, had a domestic violence criminal bail order prohibiting him to have contact with Wilkins. Concord Police picked him up on South Main Street while K-9 dogs hunted the brush for Wilkins. She was later found by the K-9 unit and arrested.

Both Fish and Wilkins refused bail and were held at the Merrimack County House of Corrections on resisting arrest as well as other charges.

According to reports on Patch, Wilkins has been arrested and summoned a number of times by Concord Police including for driving after revocation or suspension, possession of controlled drugs, unlawful possession of alcohol, resisting arrest, and a bench warrant for nonpayment of fines in court. She was indicted for felony controlled act; acts prohibited-fentanyl earlier this year after an alleged incident in Boscawen. Also in January of this year, according to the Laconia Daily Sun, she was arrested for receiving stolen property, disobeying an officer, misuse or failure to display plates, driving after revocation, a stop sign violation, a bench warrant, and breach of bail.

Previously, according to reports on Patch, Fish was arrested in Nashua in 2014 for nonappearance in court and criminal trespass.
