Crime
A family in New Hampshire apparently got quite the scare on Thursday.
According to Salem, New Hampshire police, a 21-year-old man cut them off in traffic near Rockingham Park Boulevard at about 6:25 p.m., got out of his vehicle, and “began smashing their windshield with a baseball bat while threatening them.”
The family included a small child and an infant, said police, who responded to the scene after multiple witnesses called 911.
After the incident, the suspect got back in his vehicle and drove toward I-93, according to police. State Police then pulled him over on I-93, as witnesses had provided a license plate number and vehicle and suspect descriptions.
Anthony Bennett Rovelo Baldovino, of Manchester, New Hampshire, was identified as the man arrested. He was initially held without bail and charged with four counts each of kidnapping, criminal threatening with a deadly weapon, and reckless conduct with a deadly weapon, as well as driving with a suspended license. He was set to be arraigned Friday morning in Salem District Court.

HAMPTON, N.H. (WHDH) – Cub Scouts recently showed their committment to cleaning up their community.
The scouts of Pack 177 were at Plaice Cove Beach in Hampton last month scouring for trash and getting it ready for the summer fun.
One scout said it’s all in a day’s work.
“Imagine you were coming just down to the beach to enjoy a holiday in the water and then you feel something at your foot and it’s a bag,” scout Logan George of Pack 177 said. “We help our community, we help our friends, we’re always kind and trustworthy and we help other people.”
The Cub Scouts do several other cleanups each year, including along the highway and on the side of roads around Hampton.

BOW, NH — Bow police and fire and rescue teams were sent to a crash on Sunday afternoon, not far from a previous crash earlier this month.
At 2:30 p.m., Concord Fire Alarm reported a crash involving multiple vehicles not far from the intersection of Page Road and Clinton Street. About 10 minutes later, a battalion commander told dispatch there were three vehicles involved and two patients were being evaluated. Dispatch asked if EMTs needed a retone for an engine, and the commander said, “Yeah, why don’t you send them.”
News 603 posted a video from the crash scene on Facebook, linked here.
Just before 3 p.m., EMTs cleared the scene after reporting the patients refused transport.
The crash site was not far from a crash on May 1 that sent one driver to Concord Hospital. In July 2024, a fatal motorcycle accident, which took the life of Joseph Kasper of Weare, occured not far from the location of Sunday’s crash.
Not long after, Concord Fire and Rescue teams were sent to a downed tree on Merrimack Street by School Street.
The tree was knocked down after a small storm moved through the region around 2:45 p.m.
