At about 12:45 p.m., a state trooper pulled over a 2001 GMC pickup truck traveling north on I-93 for a registration violation. After the stop, the driver allegedly gave the trooper a false name and date of birth, according to Lt. N.A. Noyes. The trooper later identified the driver as Belanger.

“A license check revealed that Belanger is currently suspended as a habitual offender and has a warrant out of the state of New Hampshire for operating while a habitual offender,” Noyes alleged. “Belanger was arrested and booked at NH State Police Troop-B Barracks.”

Belanger was held and will be arraigned tomorrow.

Anyone with information regarding this incident is requested to contact TFC S. Czyzowski and Trooper D. Roger at the NH State Police – Troop B barracks at 603-223-4381.
