New Hampshire woman arrested after pursuit that led to 20-minute highway standoff with police
A New Hampshire woman was arrested after a weekend pursuit that led to a 20-minute standoff with police on Interstate 89 in Concord, state police said Monday.
Desiree Charter, 38, of Nashua, was charged with reckless conduct with a deadly weapon, driving after being deemed a habitual offender, possession of a controlled drug – subsequent, aggravated DUI, driving under the influence and disobeying an officer, state police said.
At 10:22 p.m. Sunday, troopers tried to stop the driver of a 2013 Chevrolet Equinox, later identified as Charter, for lane control violations on Clinton Street in Concord.
The troopers used emergency lights and sirens, but Charter increased speed and continued swerving in lanes while driving Concord and Hopkinton, state police said.
During the pursuit, Charter nearly hit another vehicle on I-89 northbound in Concord. State police said troopers were later able to successfully deflate the SUV’s tires using a tire deflation device near Exit 4.
But Charter continued northbound on I-89 for about a mile before crashing into the right guardrail. She then refused commands from troopers, prompting a 20-minute standoff, state police said.
During the standoff, I-89 was closed in the area of mile marker 7.
Eventually, Charter got out of the SUV and was taken into custody. She was taken by ambulance to Concord Hospital with minor, non-life-threatening injuries, state police said.
Troopers later learned that Concord Police had also tried to stop the same vehicle earlier in the evening, but Charter failed to stop for officers, who chose to end their pursuit.
Charter is scheduled to appear in Concord District Court on Jan. 10.

Authorities said that the heating system in Goldstein’s New Hampshire vacation home at 2962 Province Lake Road in Wakefield malfunctioned. The faulty system led to carbon monoxide leaking into the vacation home.
The Newton family of four was supposed to attend a holiday event in New Hampshire, New Hampshire State Fire Marshal Sean Toomey said in a press conference in December.
When they didn’t show up, family members requested local authorities check up on the Goldsteins at their vacation home, Toomey said.
There, authorities found the Goldsteins dead, according to the fire marshal. The home didn’t have any working carbon monoxide alarms inside.
The family died overnight, Toomey added. Three of them were found dead in a bedroom, while one was found in the bathroom.
Carbon monoxide deaths in New Hampshire have spiked in 2024, with 10 cases reported this year, according to Toomey. There are usually two to three cases per year.

AI Says Whoever Made Manchester, New Hampshire “Gave Up Halfway”
If you have not spent some time playing around with AI, you absolutely should.
ChatGPT is one of the most commonly used pieces of AI. If you are unfamiliar, you can ask this artificial intelligence anything, and within seconds your questions are answered in an essay form.
And when I say you can ask or tell AI (ChatGPT) anything…I mean anything.
Recently, I asked ChatGPT to roast Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and it was absolutely hilarious. Check that out if you want to hear about the “yuppies moving from old Boston to new Boston.”
After AI torched Portsmouth, NH residents, I decided to see what ChatGPT had to say about New Hampshire’s most populated city: Manchester, New Hampshire.
What AI had to say about Manchester, New Hampshire:
Hands down the funniest thing ChatGPT said about Manchester was that the creator, or designer, “gave up halfway.”
The next roast, that everyone in New England will appreciate, is that Manchester’s main attraction is how quickly you can get from one chain restaurant to the next “without hitting a pothole.”
ChatGPT compared Manchester to a kid trying to act tough always trying to catch up to their older brother…Boston.
There was one backhanded compliment in the roast about Manchester. AI said that Manchester has “that gritty New England charm… if by “gritty” you mean “abandoned mills” and “forgotten dreams.””
Of course, as I will do with this continual AI series, I also ask ChatGPT to compliment Manchester, NH.
The good things AI has to say about Manchester, New Hampshire:
ChatGPT highlighted a sense of community in Manchester, NH that is not as tangible in other states.
The AI program also complimented the PEOPLE of Manchester, NH making it the community that it is.
In the words of ChatGPT, Manchester, “You’ve got something far more valuable (than a big city): authenticity. Keep being you, Manchester, because you’re doing it right.”
