By THOMAS P. CALDWELL, LACONIA DAILY SUNALTON — Police are asking for help from the public in locating a man they say fled from a traffic stop and kicked down the door of a home on Old Wolfeboro Road. Phil Hunter, an evening supervisor, attempted to stop a driver for a speeding violation, and the vehicle fled into the parking lot of a new auto wash business on Route 28 North. Police Chief Ryan Heath said that, as Hunter approached, the driver fled on foot across the highway, leaving his vehicle in drive, so it began free-rolling toward the road. Hunter chased the vehicle and put it in park before taking up foot pursuit. The man, whom police identified as Matthew Williams, fled into the woods almost directly behind the police department, and Hunter contacted the K9 unit to track the fleeing man.
