TROY, N.H. — The police are seeking a Troy man accused of driving his all- terrain vehicle over a police officer’s leg and dragging him a short distance.
The police say Cornelius Gallagher, 21, faces charges of simple assault, driving with a suspended license and illegal conduct after an accident.
Officer Kevin Stone was treated for scrapes and bruises at a hospital after Sunday night’s incident.
Stone was hurt while investigating a man driving an ATV behind a convenience store. The police said the driver took off when Stone asked for identification. The police said the man drove over Stone’s leg. Stone grabbed the man and was dragged until he lost his grip.
The police said they identified Gallagher from the store’s security camera tape.
