Woman Accused Of Chasing Man Through Manchester Park In A Minivan

MANCHESTER, NH — Manchester police responded to the area of Victory Park in downtown Manchester for a woman driving through the park and chasing a man with the vehicle she was driving Friday.

Witnesses saw the woman yelling at someone and then, according to witnesses, drove up on the sidewalk, the wrong way down a street and through the park. The park was occupied by more than a dozen people when she drove on the grass and then struck a tree. The impact from hitting the tree ripped one of the doors of the 2008 Honda Odyssey minivan. The van fled the scene; however, the door remained in the scene.

Police located a vehicle identification number on the door, which came back to a Honda Odyssey, registered out of Manchester. The vehicle was located on Silver Street in Manchester, and Caroline Solares Fraga, 25, of Manchester, was identified as the woman operating the van, according to police.

Fraga turned herself into police on a reckless conduct charge and an active warrant for possession of a controlled drug.

Fraga was scheduled to be arraigned in Manchester District Court Monday.
