LACONIA, NH — A police officer from the Lakes Region has a date in court next month on a drunken driving charge after a crash in the parking lot of Bank of NH Pavilion in Gilford in late May.
Anna Doherty, 25, of Smith Hill Road in Franklin, was arrested on May 25 on a single misdemeanor count after police were sent to the concert venue for an incident.

However, an online arrest log stated officers had been sent to Meadowbrook Lane around 11 p.m. for a report of a motor vehicle accident in the venue’s parking lot. A case summary filing in Laconia District Court noted Doherty was reportedly driving a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck at the time of the arrest.
She was released on personal recognizance bail on May 26. Doherty entered a plea of not guilty on June 3. A complaint was accepted for filing on June 10, and a trial is booked for Aug. 29, according to court records.
