MANCHESTER, NH - On August 6, 2020, shortly after midnight, Manchester Police officers were patrolling the area of Manchester St and Beech St looking for illegal drug activity.

They located a female who appeared to be getting ready to use drugs. She appeared to hide something under the stairs when the police approached. Officers approached her and identified her as Cecelia Chicoine, 35 of Manchester. Chicoine was found to have Crack/Cocaine and Heroin/Fentanyl on her. A discarded pipe was found under the stairs. She was arrested and charged with two counts of Possession of a Controlled Drug.

At approximately 3:30 am, Manchester Police patrolling Walnut Street near Orange St stopped a male for a traffic offense. He was identified as Joshua Scott, 31 of Manchester.
