DURHAM, N.H. — Noah Robison had a hard time believing what he was seeing.

The University of New Hampshire football player from Derry, a transfer from Coastal Carolina University and in his first semester on campus, was with three teammates on a Friday night early this month, heading out Main Street in Durham to see some friends when they approached a couple of cars that had pulled to the side of the road.

“I was looking at it and it was weird,” Robison said. “I saw people outside the car. As we got closer we saw it was a cop and she was doing a DWI test, I found out later. The guy turned around and punched her in the face. She kind of stumbled a little bit. She didn’t fall to the ground. Then she turned and he took off.”
