Mass. man accused of driving 120 mph while drunk, leading NH police on chase
A Massachusetts man has been charged for allegedly leading police on a high-speed chase in New Hampshire while driving under the influence, according to state troopers.
Mason Hebert, 22, of Boxford, was arrested following the pursuit Thursday night. He’s now facing multiple charges, including reckless conduct, aggravated driving under the influence of liquor and disobeying an officer, according to a news release from New Hampshire State Police.
Police said that a trooper caught Hebert’s BMW going more than 120 mph on I-95 north in Hampton, New Hampshire at around 10:30 p.m. Thursday. He allegedly did not stop when the trooper tried to pull him over, resulting in a pursuit down the highway, which was eventually called off due to safety.

Hebert was held in Rockingham County Jail, pending a hearing that was scheduled for Friday in Portsmouth District Court.
An investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information can get in touch with Trooper Cameron Vetter at Cameron.S.Vetter@dos.nh.gov.

Lowell man hit cruiser in NH chase, state police say
A Massachusetts man has been arrested after allegedly hitting a New Hampshire State Police cruiser during a chase that ended in Manchester.
Authorities arrested 27-year-old Alejandro Vargas of Lowell early Tuesday morning, they announced Wednesday. Police in Epping notified state police at 1:21 a.m. that a silver 2026 Chevrolet Silverado had fled from them.
Epping officers briefly pursued the truck and had last seen it heading west on Route 101. Police in Candia then reported seeing the same truck going 105 mph.
State police said a trooper tried to stop the truck at Exit 1 on Interstate 293 northbound, but the driver refused to pull over.
The driver got off I-293 on Arnold Street, a dead end, and tried to turn around. He allegedly hit a state police cruiser and two parked vehicles.
State police said the driver and a passenger got out and ran in opposite directions. Manchester police officers, who arrived to the scene with a drone, found and arrested the driver, identified as Vargas.
The passenger was not found. Police did not issue a description.
Vargas had an outstanding warrant from the U.S. Marshals Service, police said without giving details on why he was wanted.
In Tuesday’s incident, Vargas is facing a felony charge of reckless conduct with a deadly weapon and misdemeanor charges of simple assault, disobeying an officer, resisting arrest and conduct after an accident, as well as multiple unspecified violations.
Police said Vargas was expected to be arraigned Wednesday at Manchester District Court. It was not immediately clear if he had an attorney.
