A Maine man is in deep trouble after New Hampshire cops say he tore through the early morning in a stolen ride, totally wasted.
It all kicked off around 1:35 a.m. Sunday, when a freaked-out motorist dialed 911 about some clown swerving all over I-95 South near Portsmouth. Troopers caught up with the rogue car—a beat-up 2014 Ford Fusion—barreling down the highway in North Hampton. When they hit the lights, the driver didn’t just ignore them; he floored it, sparking a wild high-speed chase.
Turns out the guy behind the wheel was 20-year-old Thomas O. M. Leonard from Portland. This genius blew past Exit 2, veered onto Route 101 West, and started playing lane-hopscotch like he owned the road. Cops tailing him were sweating bullets—this wasn’t just reckless, it was downright suicidal.
Things got real in Brentwood when spike strips finally slowed him down. But even with shredded tires, Leonard kept gunning it toward Epping’s Exit 7. Predictably, he blew the turn, plowed over a traffic island, and smacked into a sign, totaling the car.
Bailing on foot, Leonard sprinted into some random business lot—big mistake. State troopers sent in a K-9 unit, and let’s just say the dog had a real good time catching him.
Dude was clearly hammered, and surprise—his license was already toast. Oh, and the car? Yeah, ripped off from Saco, Maine.
Now he’s staring down a rap sheet longer than a CVS receipt: felony reckless conduct, swiping a stolen ride, a buffet of DUI counts, plus resisting arrest, wrecking stuff, and booze-fueled nonsense. They tossed him in lockup at Rockingham County Jail, waiting for his Monday court date.
Cops aren’t done digging, so this mess might just get worse.
