A man is facing kidnapping charges after a high-speed chase through New Hampshire.

State troopers attempted a traffic stop Saturday night in Strafford for a driver wanted in an ongoing investigation.

They say the driver did not stop, and cops began chasing the vehicle, according to WGME-TV.

Troopers say during the chase, a passenger, who was a minor, was let out.

The uninjured child was brought to family by police.

The car was stopped using tire deflation, but troopers say the driver refused to get out.

The suspect, Scott Newcomb, 55, of Belmont, New Hampshire, eventually got out and was taken into custody in Durham.

Newcomb has been charged with kidnapping, reckless conduct and disobeying an officer.
