At just after 10:30 a.m. this morning, officers were sent to the Daniel Webster Highway near Whitney Street for a motor vehicle crash.

The party reporting the accident, according to police, stated that the male operator of the vehicle that allegedly caused the accident had fled the scene, Lt. Denise Roy of the Merrimack Police Department noted in a press statement.

“A search for the male, who was later identified as Reynardo Dejesus Rodriguez Placencia, ensued,” Roy stated. “With the assistance of New Hampshire State Police Canine Unit, and local Sheriff’s deputies, Merrimack Police were able to apprehend the suspect at 11:50 hrs, after an extensive foot chase.”

Placencia was arrested, processed, and held on $20,000 cash bail and will be arraigned tomorrow.

According to a post on Merrimack NH Patch last week, Placencia was arrested on Nov. 19, for robbery, domestic assault, and false imprisonment, after an alleged incident in the food court of the Merrimack Premium Outlet mall. In mid-January, he was arrested in Nashua for criminal mischief, and then, two weeks later, arrested for stalking and default or breach of bail conditions, according to Nashua Police.
