MANCHESTER, N.H. – A Hampton man was arrested after being apprehended by a State Police K-9 following a multi-town pursuit that ended in Manchester.
At 11:50 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 24, 2026, State Troopers assigned to the Troop A barracks were alerted that Maine State Police Troopers were in pursuit of a 2013 Nissan Altima on Interstate 95 southbound, approaching the New Hampshire state border. Shortly after, Trooper Daniel Bourque located the vehicle on I-95 in Hampton, no longer pursued by MSP. Trooper Bourque observed the vehicle traveling recklessly, over 100 mph, and attempted to perform a traffic stop. When the driver refused to pull over, a pursuit ensued.
During the pursuit, the driver of the Nissan continued to speed excessively and failed to stay in one lane. He exited I-95 onto Route 101 westbound and the pursuit continued through several towns. Additional Troopers, along with members of the Candia Police Department, successfully deployed tire deflation devices as the pursuit continued into Candia. Despite having deflated tires, the driver continued onto I-93 southbound, and eventually onto I-293 northbound in Manchester. Shortly after, the driver struck a guardrail, stopped, then ran from the car. Trooper Joshua Farmer deployed his partner, K-9 Soka, who successfully apprehended the driver.
The driver was identified as Andrew Mcinnes, 42, of Hampton. Mcinnes was arrested and brought to an area hospital for evaluation of possible injuries. He was charged with two counts of felony reckless conduct – deadly weapon, along with several misdemeanor charges of aggravated driving while intoxicated (DWI), DWI, disobeying an officer, conduct after an accident, willful interference with police dogs, resisting arrest, and violation level offenses of driving after suspension, reckless driving, and disorderly conduct. Mcinnes refused bail and was transported to the Rockingham County Jail, where he was held pending an appearance in Brentwood District Court scheduled for Monday, Oct. 26, 2026.
Additional Troopers from the Troop B and Troop D barracks, as well as officers from the Epping, Raymond, and Candia police departments, and members of the Manchester Fire Department, assisted Troop A. Anyone with information that may assist the ongoing investigation is asked to contact Trooper Daniel Bourque at Daniel.J.Bourque@dos.nh.gov.
