MERRIMACK, N.H. (WHDH) - A New Hampshire woman is facing a drunken-driving charge after police say she nearly hit a police cruiser head-on in Merrimack on Thursday night.
An officer responding to a report of a drunk driver on Continental Boulevard around 8 p.m. says he was nearly struck by a vehicle that crossed over the center line and nearly hit him head-on, according to Merrimack police.
The driver, Elizabeth Stone, 54, was arrested after an alcohol breath test allegedly registered a .16, which is twice the legal limit.
She was released on personal recognizance bail and is expected to be arraigned March 12 in 9th Circuit Court on charges of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of liquor and aggravated operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of liquor – per se.
