LACONIA — The Gilford man who allegedly crashed a car into a telephone pole on Cat Path on May 27 and fled failed to appear for his court date yesterday.
Fourth Circuit Court, Laconia Division Judge Timothy McKenna issued a bench warrant for Adam Moulton, 21, of 53 Falls Avenue.
According to complaints obtained yesterday from the court, Moulton was allegedly driving a 2004 Saab 9-3 at a "high rate of speed" and failed to stop at the intersection of Henderson and Intervale Roads.
Police said "because of his reckless driving," he was unable to stop and struck a utility pole on Cat Path owned by Public Service of New Hampshire.
A Cat Path resident reported the power outage at 2 a.m. PSNH arrived at 3 a.m. and notified police when workers saw the reason for the power outage.
Gilford firefighters and police searched the woods looking for the unknown driver fearing he or she was injured and unable to seek help.
After identifying Moulton as the alleged driver, police cited him for a violation for reckless driving and for a Class B misdemeanor of conduct after an accident for leaving the scene of an accident that caused property damage.
