Bedford teen involved in fatal crash arrested for prowling

A Bedford teen involved in a fatal July 28 crash in Manchester has been arrested again, this time for “prowling” in his own neighborhood.

Ian Bolser, 19, and two other teens were picked up on Oct. 8 after neighbors called to report suspicious activity on Palomino Lane shortly before 1:30 p.m., according to Bedford police Capt. Daniel Douidi.

Bolser, who lives on that road, Caitlyn A. Caron, 19, of Merrimack and Jonathan L. Kohli, 19, of Brookline were all charged with prowling a misdemeanor, police said. Kohli was also charged with possession of a controlled drug.

“Suspicious activity was going on and the way some of these guys were acting, it was determined we would charge them with prowling,” Douidi said, noting the investigation into the incident is ongoing.

According to state police, Bolser was driving a Mitsubishi Lancer on I-293 in Manchester around 6:45 a.m. on July 28 when the car went off the Exit 2 ramp, hit the wooden barrier and rolled over. Bolser was hurt; his passenger, Andrew Roy, 19, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Bolser told the New Hampshire Sunday News he fell asleep just before the crash.

It was Bolser’s second crash on I-293 in Manchester within two months. And court records show that in the past year, police departments in Hooksett, Bedford and Goffstown have charged him on three separate occasions with violations that included speeding, transporting alcohol as a minor and possession of drugs.

Bolser lost his driver’s license for 60 days on Sept. 19 after pleading guilty in Hooksett District Court to speeding and transportation of a controlled drug. He was also fined $500. A third charge, possession of a controlled drug, was dropped, according to a court clerk.

Bolser originally was scheduled to appear in court on those charges on June 18, but failed to appear, and a bench warrant was issued.

Four days before the fatal Manchester crash, Bedford police in court had dropped a charge against Bolser of transportation of alcohol by a minor. And a week before that, Goffstown police had dropped a speeding charge against him since his motor vehicle record appeared to be clean, police told the New Hampshire Sunday News.

The case led some officials to question why implementation of a statewide data-sharing network for law enforcement has been delayed for more than a decade.

State police recently completed their investigation into the July 28 fatal crash, and those reports are being reviewed by agency supervisors and the Hillsborough County Attorney’s office, police said. No charges have been filed to date.
