Man Arrested After Cross‑State Chase Reaching Over 100 MPH

Multi‑agency tactics using tire deflation devices and a police K‑9 ended the chase with investigators yet to explain why Maine troopers began it.

Overview

  • Police say a 2013 Nissan Altima fled from Maine troopers, traveled into New Hampshire at speeds above 100 mph, and was followed through multiple towns before entering Manchester.
  • Officers and Candia police deployed tire deflation devices and the vehicle struck a guardrail in Manchester, after which the driver fled on foot and was captured by New Hampshire State Police K‑9 Soka.
  • The arrested driver was identified as 42‑year‑old Andrew McInnes of Hampton and was taken to a hospital for evaluation before being held at Rockingham County Jail.
  • McInnes faces two counts of felony reckless conduct with a deadly weapon plus multiple misdemeanor and violation charges including aggravated driving while intoxicated and resisting arrest.
  • Court proceedings are pending at Brentwood District Court and reporting notes McInnes has prior legal problems, including earlier break‑in and pursuit incidents in Massachusetts that provide context for prosecutors and public safety officials.
