NH State Police Announce Arrest in Deadly Hit-and-Run

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A Dover man has been arrested in the hit-and-run death of a retired police sergeant who was training for a cycling event to honor fallen law enforcement officers.

State police say 45-year-old Craig Sprowl was arrested Friday morning at a Portsmouth hotel and was charged with negligent homicide and conduct after an accident.

Police said they didn’t know when he’d be in court, and it’s unclear whether he has a lawyer.

The arrest came three days after 59-year-old Donna Briggs, of Derry, died in Kingston.

The retired Hudson police sergeant was training for next month’s Police Unity Tour.
