An employee of Stinson's Village Store reported to Hanover Police that one of a group of five males was trying to buy beer with fake New Jersey identification. Before officers could get there, the clerk returned the counterfeit identification to the individual, who fled the scene with his four friends.
Feb. 7, Lyme Road, 2:56 p.m.
A Dartmouth employee complained to Hanover Police on Feb. 1 that a red hatchback had passed multiple cars at about 80 mph, going back and forth across Lyme Road's double yellow line and forcing oncoming traffic to swerve into the breakdown lane to avoid a collision. The next day, police stopped the same car for speeding on Lyme Road and issued the driver a ticket. Based on the previous day's complaint and the speeding ticket, police pursued and attained an arrest warrant for the driver. They contacted and arrested him about a week later on the charge of passing cars in a double-yellow-line zone.
