Farmington Motorcyclist Clocked At 158 MPH On Route 101: New Hampshire State Police
GREENLAND, NH — A New Hampshire motorcyclist was arrested Sunday after being accused of driving recklessly on three Granite State highways.
On Route 101 Sunday morning, state police received a report concerning “a group of motorcycles” traveling east on the highway. A trooper in an aircraft was able to locate the group of motorcycles, according to Trooper Nicole Stone. One motorcycle was spotted “pulling away from the others in the group, passing other motor vehicles, and going in between two vehicles at the same time,” a report stated.
Stone said the motorcycle was clocked from the air at 158 miles per hour.
As it approached I-95, a second trooper recorded the motorcycle at 110 mph and then attempted to pull it over, Stone said. The motorcyclist, who had a passenger on the back of the motorcycle, “did not appear to be slowing,” and the trooper chose not to pursue it.
A report stated the state trooper in the air continued to follow the motorcycle onto Route 1 south while the trooper on the ground was able to catch up to it, too. The troopers accused the motorcyclist, identified later as Zachary Michael Dionne, 21, of Farmington, of driving onto Route 107 and then entering onto I-95 North, where he was accused of driving at speeds of up to 144 mph.
“During this time,” Stone said, “the operator used all lanes of I-95 to pass and weave in and out of traffic. The motorcycle took Exit 3, and (the) trooper maintained visual contact as it traveled down Greenland Road and pulled into a gas station.”
A trooper sergeant stopped and arrested Dionne on felony reckless conduct-deadly weapon, resisting arrest or detention, and disobeying an officer charges, as well as failure to display plates, unsafe lane change, and unregistered vehicle violations. He was held on preventative detention and is expected to be arraigned in Hampton District Court on Monday.

A 26-year-old woman, who owns a dog training and kennel facility in Brentwood, New Hampshire, has been arrested after a video surfaced online showing apparent animal cruelty in Methuen, Massachusetts.
Brentwood police notified the Methuen Police Department about the video on Jan. 2. A preliminary investigation then identified the woman in the video as Maddison Eastman.
Police obtained an arrest warrant for Eastman on two counts of animal cruelty, and she turned herself into Lawrence District Court last Wednesday.
Eastman was arraigned Friday. Information from her court appearance wasn’t immediately available, and officials haven’t released further details about what Eastman allegedly did.
Methuen police said they’ll have no further comment at this time and referred all inquiries to the Essex County District Attorney’s Office.
