New Hampshire State Police arrested a teen driving at a speed of 127 mph around 9:30 a.m. Saturday. The Special Enforcement Unit, which monitors aggressive driving behaviors from the air during high traffic and holiday periods, spotted the Subaru sedan traveling northbound on Interstate 93 at an extremely high velocity.

Trooper Craig Gagne, a tactical flight officer aboard a fixed wing Cessna airplane, notified troopers on the ground, who intercepted the vehicle around Northfield, NH.

The driver, Ryan Quinn, 19, of Newport, RI was charged with reckless driving and two counts of possession of a controlled substance. Sargent Sampson, patrol supervisor for Troop D, told Boston.com that Quinn did not appear to be under the influence at the time.


Quinn will appear in the Franklin District Court on January 13, 2015.
