Police said Leo M. Hanson, 49, of 21 Chestnut Ave., allegedly hit a dumpster while in the parking lot of the Belmont Village Store and a concerned citizen called the police with a description of the truck. Police located the same truck at the intersection of Route 106 and Route 140 and signaled for it to stop. A police sergeant followed the truck into the parking lot at Brookside Pizza and, after the officer had a conversation with Hanson, he determined the truck driver had been drinking. On Aug. 13 he was charged with driving after revocation, which is a class A misdemeanor. The Belmont prosecutor told 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division, Presiding Justice James Carroll that Hanson had told him he wanted to get help for his drinking problem, something Hanson's own attorney confirmed.
