Driver Leads Police On Chase, Stops For Red Lights


A Nashua, N.H., man was arrested early Friday morning after police said he led them on a chase through three towns but stopped at every red light.

Joshua Grant, 24, was charged with drunken driving and other violations. Police said the chase began after an officer patrolling Route 102 in Hudson at about 12:30 a.m. passed a car speeding in the opposite direction.

"He noticed a vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed," Capt. Jason Lavoie said. "He then turned around, and as he was watching the vehicle, he observed it start to weave within its lane, crossing the double yellow line as well as some of the white lines."

The Hudson officer turned on his lights and ordered the car to pull over, but police said Grant refused to stop. Officers used a spike strip to flatten one of the tires, but they said the car continued going.

"It didn't stop the vehicle, and it continued into Nashua," Lavoie said. "However, the driver would stop as it came up to red lights as it came into Nashua. And they were able to subsequently box in the vehicle so it would no longer go when it came to another stop at one of the red lights."
