MANCHESTER, NH – In the early hours of Oct. 21, 2019, police arrested 26-year-old Manchester resident Jesse Bauchman, a convicted felon allegedly found in possession of a gun and various types of drugs.
The arrest happened shortly after police spotted a suspicious car on Bridge Street which was being driven by Bauchman. The car did not come to an immediate stop, but eventually pulled over in the Red Arrow Diner parking lot.
After obtaining permission to search the car, police reported finding a 9 mm pistol, and a backpack with crack cocaine, powdered cocaine, heroin/fentanyl and marijuana.
Bauchman was charged with multiple counts of alleged possession of a controlled drug with intent to distribute, felonious use of a firearm, alleged possession of a dangerous weapon by a convicted felon and driving with a suspended license.
Bauchman’s passenger, 35-year-old Maneston Odige of Manchester, was charged with alleged possession of a controlled drug with the intent to distribute.
Both were held, pending an appearance this afternoon in Hillsborough Superior Court – North.
Anyone accused of a crime is innocent unless proven guilty by a court of law.
