If you were wondering what all the state troopers were doing on Route 101 this morning in Exeter, here’s the scoop: A man from Merrimack was arrested on a reckless driving charge.

Stephen G. Brown, 48, of Merrimack, was arrested around 7 a.m. on Aug. 1.

According to a press statement, at a little after 7 a.m., a state trooper was on routine patrol on Route 101 westbound in Exeter. He saw a motorcycle traveling “at a high rate of speed” and later, “determined that the speed of the motorcycle was 125 mph.” Other troopers were notified and Brown was stopped a short time later since “it was necessary for him to slow down in heavy traffic,” according to the report.

Brown was allegedly riding on a 1989 Suzuki GSX750. He’s due to appear in Brentwood District Court on Sept. 25.
