Teen Steals From Walmart, Flees Police, Gets Arrested in Traffic

A Manchester teenager apparently didn't check the traffic report Sunday before trying to flee from officers with stolen goods in his car.

According to Salem Police, Keenan Falck, 18, was charged with willful concealment, possession of a controlled drug (marijuana), reckless operation, disobeying a police officer and receiving stolen property.

Driving a gold Ford Focus, Falck took officers on a chase through the Old Rockingham Road neighborhood and eventually up the Exit 2 ramp to Interstate 93.

Officers were attempting to locate Falck after a report at 4:25 p.m. that he had just stolen a Sony television and a Gateway computer from Walmart. The two items had a total value of $626.

Falck was located driving erratically in the residential neighborhood, which is adjacent to the Walmart.

But heavy traffic on Interstate 93 allowed officers to finally get Falck pulled over.

He was taken into custody by SPD and released on $2,500 personal recognizance bail pending arraignment in Salem District Court.
