CONCORD, NH — A man from the Lakes Region was charged with reckless conduct after a wrong-way driving incident on Interstate 93 in Salem on Jan. 14, according to the New Hampshire State Police.

According to Tyler Dumont, the public information officer for state police, Dexter Cilley, 63, of Laconia, was arrested by a state trooper around 4 p.m. after being accused of wrong-way driving.

“The preliminary investigation determined that Cilley drove a Honda Accord the wrong way up the Exit 2 northbound offramp,” he said. “Cilley then drove southbound in northbound lanes until (a) trooper located him. At that point, Cilley attempted to make a U-turn to reverse direction. Cilley then stopped and was taken into custody.”

No crashes or injuries were reported during the incident.

Cilley will be arraigned in Salem District Court at a later date.
