Pelham Man Who Drove at Windham Officers Indicted on 12 Charges

A Pelham man arrested last fall after being shot by local officers was indicted in Rockingham Superior Court this month.

Grant Hebert, 22, of 7 Tina Avenue faces three counts attempted first degree assault, three counts reckless conduct, one count aggravated driving or operating under influence of drugs or liquor, one count driving or operating under influence of drugs or liquor, three counts criminal mischief and one count disobeying an officer.

after leading both Pelham and Windham Police on a chase that started in Pelham and ended near a gate on 47 Lowell Road in Windham. He was 21 at the time of the arrest.

Three officers were involved in the incident – Officers Shane Mirisola and Chris Van Hirtum of Windham an Officer Eugene Stahl of Pelham.

All three officers shot at Hebert's vehicle at the end of the pursuit after Hebert attempted to run down the two Windham officers, who were both out of their vehicles.

Hebert's was transported to Parkland Medical Center, where he had a small puncture wound to his lower calf, small puncture wound to his upper right back, swelling around one of his eyes and fragments of a bullet under his scalp in the rear of his head.

New Hampshire Attorney General Michael Delaney reported in December that the officer-involved shooting was a legally justified use of deadly force.

In his report, Delaney gave a lengthy narrative on the chase from start to finish, which started after Stahl attempted to pull Hebert over after flagging him for traveling 10 miles per hour over the posted speed limit.

The three criminal mischief charges stem from Hebert's damaging of two cruisers, one from Pelham and one from Windham, as well as the fence and lawn on Lowell Road.

The aggravated DUI charge is due to Hebert's increasing his speed in an attempt to elude pursuing officers.
