21-Year-Old Arrested After Being Clocked at 139 MPH on Swanzey Road

State police charged him with reckless driving, released him on personal recognizance bail, and he is due to appear in court in July.

Overview

  • A New Hampshire State Police trooper recorded a 21-year-old motorcyclist traveling 139 miles per hour in a 50 mph zone on West Swanzey Road and took him into custody.
  • The rider was identified by police as Jonathan Hutchins and was charged with reckless driving based on the speed recorded by the trooper.
  • Officers processed Hutchins and released him on personal recognizance bail, which means he was freed without posting money but must return for court.
  • Hutchins is scheduled to appear in a New Hampshire court in July to face the reckless driving charge and any related proceedings.
  • The episode underscores the large gap between the posted speed limit and the speed recorded, a fact police cited in announcing the arrest and charge.
