A former New Hampshire state representative facing felony charges was arrested Tuesday evening on drunken driving charges. Former State Rep. Kyle Tasker, 31, of Nottingham, was involved in a three-car crash after 5:30 p.m. Police first received reports that Tasker was erratically swerving all over Gonic Road, also known as Route 125. Police said Tasker, who was driving a red Nissan, later rear-ended a 1989 Dodge Dynasty at the intersection of Gonic Road and Chesley Hill Road, pushing that car into the back of a Ford Focus. The Nissan and Dodge sustained heavy damage and were towed from the scene. The Ford was able to be driven away. All drivers refused medical treatment at the scene. Tasker was charged with one misdemeanor count of driving while under the influence. He was released on $1,000 cash bail. Tasker is scheduled to be arraigned on Nov. 14. Tasker resigned in March after an arrest on felony charges including online solicitation of a minor and possession with intent to distribute controlled drugs. WMUR first reported that evidence found at his home in March showed he had sold drugs to other members of the House. In a report released in September, officials said Tasker not only used marijuana at the State House but sold it to fellow lawmakers as well. The Rockingham County Attorney filed a motion Tuesday to revoke his bail following the arrest in Rochester. The County Attorney has asked for an expedited hearing.
