Good samaritans were met with a gun after attempting to stop an intoxicated driver from taking to the street.
On Friday, Oct. 3 an incident occurred at 149 Emerald Street in the parking lot of The Center at Keene plaza. Ariana Kelley of Keene, N.H. was arrested on charges of driving under the influence of drugs/liquor and aggravated driving while intoxicated. Six City of Keene police officers responded to the incident.
Sargent James Cemorelis of KPD confirmed that Kelley had an unloaded gun in the vehicle. Cemorelis referenced the incident report and explained that two young, good samaritans attempted to stop Kelley from driving. In a statement from the report, Kelley said the good samaritans reached into her vehicle and grabbed her arm. According to Cemorelis, Kelley “pulled the gun to protect herself. She did not know what was going on.”
Cemorelis said any further information including the names of the good samaritans could not be released.
