Driver Leads Police On Chase, Stops For Red Lights

A Nashua, N.H., man was arrested early Friday morning after police said he led them on a chase through three towns but stopped at every red light.

Joshua Grant, 24, was charged with drunken driving and other violations. Police said the chase began after an officer patrolling Route 102 in Hudson at about 12:30 a.m. passed a car speeding in the opposite direction.

The Hudson officer turned on his lights and ordered the car to pull over, but police said Grant refused to stop. Officers used a spike strip to flatten one of the tyres, but they said the car continued going.

Police said that although Grant was speeding, driving drunk and refusing to pull over, he did stop for three red lights.

"It's very unusual, yes," Lavoie said. "But it was able to help us out to get the vehicle stopped."
