N.H. driver accused of side-swiping police cruiser, tow truck

NEWINGTON, N.H. (AP) - A New Hampshire driver has been accused of side-swiping a police cruiser and a tow truck without stopping on the Spaulding Turnpike, according to a release from the New Hampshire State Police.

Troopers had stopped a different driver early Friday in Newington, which led to a drunken driving arrest and the call for a tow truck. Police said the tow truck driver narrowly avoided being struck by the approaching vehicle, which police later identified as a silver 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser.

Police eventually arrested 25-year-old Robyn Dubois, of Dover, N.H., on charges of aggravated driving while intoxicated, conduct after an accident, and violating the move-over law. When submitted to a breath test, DuBois's breath-alcohol concentration came back at .16 - two times the legal limit.

The cruiser and tow truck both had their emergency lights flashing at the time.

She's scheduled to be arraigned on the charges in March.

It wasn't immediately known if Dubois had a lawyer and a listed phone number was disconnected.
