Local news

Juliana Gobbi is facing several charges.

A Massachusetts woman was arrested in New Hampshire on Wednesday after allegedly refusing to stop for police and driving a motorcycle at speeds exceeding 120 mph.

At 8:30 a.m. that day, police received a report of a white motorcycle traveling at a high rate of speed and “passing other vehicles in an unsafe manner” while traveling north on Interstate 93 in Concord, This is evident from a statement from the New Hampshire State Police.

State troopers tried to stop the motorcyclist, later identified as Juliana R. Gobbi, 18, of Brockton, Massachusetts, at Exit 23, but Gobbi did not stop and accelerated to speeds of more than 120 miles per hour, authorities said.

Troopers lost sight of Gobbi and “disengaged from the pursuit,” the statement said.

Shortly afterward, Gobbi was allegedly speeding in the northbound lanes of I-93 in Ashland and again in Campton, where she exited the highway at Exit 28, officials said.

Troopers then spotted her at a gas station on Route 49 and attempted to stop a motor vehicle, but Gobbi allegedly attempted to flee a second time.

While Gobbi was trying to escape police this time, she allegedly crashed into the front of a stationary state police cruiser at a “low speed” and “lost control.” Police said she was not injured.

Authorities said Gobbi was arrested and charged with reckless driving, disobeying a police officer and criminal mischief. She was released on bail and was due to appear at Plymouth District Court on December 16.
