Couple Charged After Dragging Police Officer During Road Rage Incident

August 18, 2010 at 9:45 am by  

SALEM, N.H. - Police say that an officer was dragged by a motorist during a road rage incident. Reports are that the officer was directing traffic outside of the busy Canobie Lake Park on Saturday when one family that exited turned around and pulled up beside Officer David Hyatt. William Manning, 54, and his wife, Linda Manning, 46, began berating the officer expressing how unhappy they were his job performance. The officer then asked for their identification. “As he reached in to retrieve the identification from the passenger, the driver then yelled another expletive and stepped on the gas and took off at a very quickly high rate of speed,” said Dep. Chief Patten. Officer Hyatt’s arm got momentarily hung up and he was dragged about 25 yards before tumbling to the side of the road suffering a shoulder injury, scrapes, and bruises. William Manning was arrested, charged with reckless conduct, disobeying a police officer, and disorderly conduct. Linda Manning was charged with disorderly conduct but was able to leave the scene with the three kids that had been in the backseat the entire time. I am such a polite, calm driver that I just cannot relate to some people who get themselves caught up in road rage incidents like this one. When I’m surrounded by idiot motorists I just take deep breaths and do my Kegels.

      Most people have had to deal with a traffic officer not doing the best of jobs, but just like any professions there are good and bad performers. Compound long driving, a bad day, with three kids in the back seat asking are we there yet and it's a recipe for disaster. Still there is no reason to berate a officer and drag him, they should have just asked if he wanted a ride.

      They should have arrested her too.

      What, Jaded? Do you not agree with that statement?

    • Scavengerofhumansorrow

      Hmmmm, this reminds me of the dog-behind-car scene, from Family Vacation. 'Do you know the penalties for animal cruelty in this state?!' 'no sir?' 'well neither do i, but I imagine they're pretty stiff'. Ha, I said stiff.

      Uhhhh….no.

    • Gee

      Bawhahhahaha… Butt Kegels

      I'm shocked the charges aren't greater. I would have expected something like assault on a police officer, endangering the life, reckless disregard, etc, and much higher bail.

    • Boughtthefarm

      I was thinking the same thing Tundra….it that shit happened in Texas, they'd be facing attempted murder charges, both would be locked up and kids sent to social services.

      Not exactly a good example for the kids in the back.

      I was wondering what kind of Kegels he was talking about! lol
