Hanover Police arrested a 44-year-old female for negligent driving after her ex-boyfriend filed a complaint that the subject drove directly at him while he was riding his motorcycle. The report claims that the subject stopped just short of hitting the man's left leg with her vehicle. Police investigated the situation after the woman had already left the scene and returned to her home in Vermont. Because Vermont is a non-extraditable state, officers were forced to make negotiations with the woman to return to New Hampshire for hearings.
