Officers said they found a Toyota Camry matching the description on Arch Street and subsequently contacted Nash on Belknap Street after obtaining an arrest warrant. Police said Nash turned himself in on November 16 and was held in preventative detention prior to his arraignment at Strafford County Superior Court.

Nash was arrested and charged with conduct after accident, a felony, as well as driving after revocation or suspension.

At the time of his arrest, Nash was also on bail stemming from a felonious sexual assault charge in February. That matter is also pending before the Strafford County Superior Court.
