MANCHESTER, NH —  A man and woman from Candia  contacted Manchester Police at 5:40 p.m. July 11 to report a road rage incident on Huse Road, near Mammoth Road.

Joshua Lufbery, 21,  said he was operating a 2006 Hyandai on Huse Road when his traffic light turned green. The operator of a Ford F-250, which was stopped behind his vehicle, allegedly used his horn to have him proceed through the intersection. His actions prompted Lufbery to use a vulgar hand gesture toward the male operator of the pick-up truck.

Both he and his passenger, Danielle King, 23, continued to drive north on Mammoth Road toward Candia Road. He was stopped at the intersection of Candia Road and Interstate 293 when the same F-250 stopped next to him. The operator, Raymond Desrochers, pulled alongside them and allegedly began yelling and swearing at the two people inside of the car. He allegedly spit on the door, narrowly missing the female passenger.

Lufbery exchanged words with Desrochers as Desrochers exited his vehicle and threw an unknown object at his rear window. The item caused the rear window to break, so Lufbery exited his vehicle as the man got back into his truck and slowly drove away. Lufbery attempted to stop Desrochers and punched the side of his vehicle as the man refused to stop.

Lufbery got back into his vehicle and followed Desrochers as King called 911. Desrochers stopped on an unknown street as Lufbery proceeded to his driver’s side window. Desrochers allegedly exited his truck while pointing a handgun at Lufbery’s chest. Lufbery stated he was on the phone with 911 as Desrochers got back into his truck and left the area.

Desrochers was located at his home a short time later. He was in possession of a Smith and Wesson revolver at the time of his arrest. He was charged with Criminal Threatening (F) and Criminal Mischief (M). He was released on $5,000 cash/surety and is scheduled to appear in the 9th Circuit Court-Manchester on August 16, 2016.
