Man Accused of Shooting at Vehicle in Northwood, NH Indicted

A Manchester man who allegedly shot out the front tire of a vehicle on Route 43 in Northwood has been indicted by a grand jury at Rockingham County Superior Court in Brentwood.

Luke Foster, 20, is charged with criminal threatening with a deadly weapon and three counts of reckless conduct with a deadly weapon related to incidents in Deerfield and Northwood on May 9.

According to court paperwork, on the day in question Foster first pointed a shotgun at a person and their vehicle as they passed by the black truck Foster was driving in Deerfield. He then fired the gun across the road.

Northwood police were later called at 4:15 p.m. after Foster allegedly shot at a second vehicle, a silver sedan, as it was traveling on Route 43.

Northwood Police Chief Glen Drolet said on the day of the incident that a front tire was blown out in the second victim's car.

Drolet said they found Foster and the black truck he was driving about a third of a mile down the road. Foster had parked at someone's house.

Numerous state troopers were called in to help diffuse the situation and take Foster into custody.

The truck Foster was driving was towed away.

Foster is scheduled for an arraignment and dispositional conference on Aug. 12.
