Reckless Driver, Interstate 95 / Route 101

On Wednesday, June 17, 2020 at approximately 1500 hours, a 2019 black Mercedes C6CS was observed traveling 112 miles per hour along Interstate 95 North in the Town of Hampton. As Troopers attempted to stop the suspect vehicle, the driver accelerated to speeds estimated to be in excess of 130 miles per hour while passing groups of uninvolved vehicles in the breakdown lane. The suspect vehicle continued to Route 101 and departed the highway at exit 12, dangerously continuing through a stop sign at the bottom of the exit ramp.

Through the assistance of the general public, the Stratham Police Department and the Rockingham County Sherriff's Department, the suspect vehicle was located along Route 108 in the Town of Stratham. The driver was identified and subsequently arrested. Two passengers were released from the scene without any charges.

For his actions, Zeiad R. Mancour, age 19, of Peabody, Massachusetts has been charged with Reckless Operation and Disobeying a Police Officer. He was released on his own personal recognizance and has been ordered to the 10th Circuit Brentwood District Court on August 11, 2020 at 0830 hours.

As noted above, this event was safely resolved by several agencies, however the willingness of the general public to provide information was immeasurable. Anyone with additional information is asked to contact Trooper Jeffrey Costa at Jeffrey.Costa@dos.nh.gov.
