Man Arrested After Running From Police

On October 24, 2022, at approximately 6 PM, Manchester Police responded to the area of 334 Union Street for a report of a fight.

When officers arrived, they did not see a fight but saw a male running from the area. Police ordered the male to stop, but he ignored them and entered Seven Days Market. Police followed him into the store and saw him place a bag behind a drink machine.

Officers attempted to detain the male, later identified as 23-year-old Nathaniel Standish of Somersworth, but he struggled. After police took Standish into custody, officers picked up the bag he had hidden. It was open, and they saw a firearm inside in plain view.

Based on the circumstances, Standish was charged with Falsifying Evidence for trying to hide a weapon and Resisting Arrest. Standish was also found to be a convicted felon and was charged accordingly with Felon in Possession of a Dangerous Weapon. He is scheduled for arraignment today (10/25) in Hillsborough Superior Court North.
