Manchester Woman Leads Police On Two-State Chase

A 37-year old Manchester woman was arrested in New Hampshire on Saturday after she led police on a two-state chase, rammed a police car and assaulted an officer, according to the New Hampshire Union Leader. 

According to the report, April Miller, 37, of Manchester, arrived at a Clarksville, N.H., residence at approximately 7 a.m. Saturday morning. Police said the home owner did not know miller but had a brief conversation with her before she drove away; the homeowner then called police and gave them a description of Miller and her car. 

A short time later, according to the report, Miller was involved in a single-car accident further down the same road. Miller's vehicle was puled out by a passerby and she drove away without filing a police report, according to the Union Leader.

A local police officer then spotted Miller speeding through downtown Colebrook, N.H., and the report said she refused to stop when police pursued her. Police boxed in Miller's car on Route 3 in Columbia, N.H., according to the report, but she then struck the police cruiser with her car, damaging both vehicles. 

Police said Miller continued on Route 3 into Vermont, but eventually headed back into New Hampshire, where she was eventually stopped and detained in West Stewartstown, N.H. State police then transported Miller to the Upper Connecticut Valley Hospital in Colebrook, where they say she became combative and disruptive. Miller was then brought to the Colebrook Police Department. 

Miller is charged with simple assault on a police officer, reckless conduct, conduct after an accident, disobeying an officer and disorderly conduct and was held on $25,000 cash bail.
