A 23-year-old male Hanover resident was arrested on a bench warrant for bail-jumping -- intentionally failing to appear when required to do so after being released on bail -- in a district court in Lebanon, N.H. The cause behind the bail-jumping was the man's failure to pay a $353 fee to a public defender who had represented the multiple offender in an even earlier case. The deadbeat has been arrested in Hanover for possession of drugs and stolen property in June of 2006, and his criminal history also includes charges from Lebanon and Enfield townships.

A Hanover police officer, who happened to be in Stinson's Village Store, observed a male subject attempt to buy seven cases of beer after the time when it is permissible to buy alcohol. When the officer left the store, he discovered that the only vehicle in the alley was being operated by the male subject. Having already made observations that the man, a member of the Dartmouth Class of 2007, was intoxicated, the officer subjected him to a breathalyzer test, which revealed a blood alcohol concentration of .20. A BAC of over .16 elevates a charge from driving while intoxicated -- a class B misdemeanor -- to aggravated driving while intoxicated -- a class A misdemeanor -- for which the Dartmouth senior was arrested.
