Raymond Man Arrested After 6-Vehicle Accident In Queen City

MANCHESTER, NH — A Raymond man is facing numerous charges after a multi-vehicle accident in Manchester Tuesday. Officers were sent to Auburn and Pine streets for a report of a crash. When they arrived, according to Heather Hamel, the public information officer for the Manchester Police Department, they found six vehicles involved in the accident case.

Police investigated the crash and accused Kevin Poole, 40, of Raymond, of running a red light, taking a turn from Pine Street to Auburn Street, hitting another car, striking two more cars, and rolling his vehicle. He is accused of fleeing the crashes and reporting his vehicle stolen, a few hours later, Hamel said.

"No one was hurt and with the exception of the car that caused the accidents, all other vehicles were able to be driven away from the scene," she stated.

Poole was arrested and charged with five counts of conduct after an accident, four counts of criminal mischief, and a single count of false report to law enforcement. He was arraigned in court Wednesday and released on personal recognizance bail.

Poole is no stranger to police. He was a former Fugitive of the Week after being convicted in 2010 for making false statements while trying to acquire a firearm. He was wanted on violations of his supervised release in 2015.
