At approximately 8:09 p.m., the NH State Police were searching for a vehicle as part of an investigation into crimes reported in other jurisdictions when a trooper attempted to pull over a 2008 black Ford Mustang traveling on Durham Street in Portsmouth.

The Mustang allegedly attempted to flee officers without its headlights on.

The suspect reportedly crashed through the perimeter fence into the Portsmouth International Airport and continued to flee across the aircraft parking apron.

The driver continued his flight until he allegedly smashed into a Kubota tractor and a parked plane before coming to a stop.

It is not clear how much damage was done to the aircraft.

Troopers arrested the driver after the crash and identified him as Wyatt Seely, 17, of Rochester, NH.

He was transported to a local hospital for evaluation.

Seely was released and charged with aggravated DWI, DWI, disobeying an officer, conduct after an accident, and reckless driving.

No mugshot is available, and police did not specify whether he was the suspect whom they were searching for when the incident began.

No one was injured during the incident.
