A New Hampshire woman was driving 112 mph, weaving in and out of traffic and had two children unbuckled in the backseat on Friday, according to New Hampshire State Police.
Shirley Stanley, 23, of Manchester, faces multiple charges, including two counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
The mother of the two children was driving a Chevrolet Tahoe SUV on Route 101 when police saw her driving at a “high rate of speed” around 9:17 p.m. on Friday. Police said at one point she was driving 112 mph.
The two children, ages 1 and 4, were not buckled or in any type of child restraint system, police stated.
Stanley was arrested and charged with reckless operation, two counts of endangering the welfare of a child, two counts of violating required child passenger restraints, failure to yield to an emergency vehicle, unsafe lane change, following too closely and speeding. She was processed and released on personal recognizance bail.
New Hampshire State Police are asking others who saw Stanley’s driving before she was pulled over to contact Trooper Jacob Benjamin at Jacob.A.Benjamin@dos.nh.gov or #NHSP dispatch at (603) 223-4381.
Stanley is scheduled to appear in Candia District Court at 8 a.m. on June 10.
