Overview
- The road rage encounter, which occurred just before 4 p.m. Thursday at Library and Central streets, left a couple trapped inside their car as the driver allegedly rammed their vehicle several times.
- Police say 70-year-old Richard Feener exited his car, tried to open the victims' door by tugging the handle, then drove away before officers located him at his Hudson home.
- Court documents and police reporting show Feener failed field sobriety tests and a breath test measured about twice New Hampshire's legal blood-alcohol limit.
- Feener was charged with felony offenses, arraigned on June 12, and a judge rejected a negotiated conditional-release plan and ordered him held without bail; he is due back in court on June 22.
- Hudson police and a local captain warned the case shows how quickly road rage can turn dangerous when alcohol is involved, and they noted the victims were shaken but not seriously injured.
