Wallen Romano-Ulloa, 22, of Lawrence, Massachusetts, is facing charges of driving while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or drugs, following a car crash early Sunday morning on Weirs Boulevard in Laconia.
Police allege that Romano-Ulloa’s red Acura was traveling more than 80 miles per hour as it passed them just before 1 a.m. The sedan then crashed into a stone wall in front of the Four Seasons condominium complex, and Romano-Ulloa fled on foot until officers caught up with him and made the arrest.
The front and rear bumpers of the Acura were ripped off in the crash, but the airbags deployed and Romano-Ulloa was not badly injured.
Hikers Fined For Reckless Conduct
Dylan Stahley, 25, of Windsor and Jason Feierstin, 22, of Lowell, Massachusetts, pleaded guilty to charges of reckless conduct for “exploring” steep ledges near Franconia Notch and requiring rescue on June 11. New Hampshire Fish and Game announced their fines of $200 plus a $48 penalty assessment on Tuesday.
According to Fish and Game, one of the men called 911 for help at 2:15 p.m. that day “because he was ‘stuck’ on the side of a mountain in a very dangerous position and was laying [sic] under a ledge, trying to keep from falling off the cliff.” His friend later called for help “because he too could not find a way down from the cliffs.”
Fish and Game said neither hiker knew their location and it took rescuers hours to locate them on Hounds Hump, near the Eaglet, on the east side of Franconia Notch.
Manchester Man On Daily Walk Stabbed To Death
Justina Whitmore, the granddaughter of 75-year-old Daniel Whitmore, the man who was stabbed to death Friday on a Manchester walking trail, told reporters outside Hillsborough County Superior Court during the arraignment of the man charged in his death that Daniel was a great-grandfather who started taking daily walks after surviving open-heart surgery.
Raymond Moore, 41, is facing a charge of second-degree murder in the slaying that took place on the walking trail that skirts the west side of Nutt’s Pond, accessed through Precourt Park.
Moore had been arrested twice before this summer for violent crimes, and Hillsborough County judges twice released him, according to Mayor Joyce Craig. Her office said the arrests were in Manchester and Nashua.
Breach Of Security
Despite his victory in delaying the Justice Department’s review of the documents seized in the FBI’s warranted search of his residence at Mar-A-Lago, those already reviewed are showing that former president Donald Trump had held onto highly sensitive material that should have remained under lock-and-key in Washington, D.C., according to “people familiar with the search, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe sensitive details of an ongoing investigation.”
“Only the president, some members of his Cabinet or a near-Cabinet-level official could authorize other government officials to know details of these special-access programs,” according to the Washington Post. One document described a foreign government’s military defenses, including its nuclear capabilities. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence is conducting a risk assessment to determine how much potential harm was posed by the removal from government custody of the classified documents.
U.S. District Court Judge Aileen M. Cannon granted Trump’s request for special master to sift through the nearly 13,000 documents and items the FBI took to identify any that might be protected by attorney-client privilege, “even though Justice Department lawyers have said a ‘filter’ team has already completed that task,” the Washington Post reported. Some analysts say appeals to the decision to appoint a special master and the review of documents could delay the Justice Department’s investigation by years, but others say much of the work can continue while the special master reviews the material. The intelligence community certainly will not wait to deal with the potential damage from the unsecured secret documents.
Yet Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Florida), the top Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee, continues to question whether the documents found at Mar-a-Lago were a threat to national security, and other Republicans continue to downplay the impact of storing such documents at a location where members of the public could access them.
