A New Hampshire state senator has been arrested after allegedly slapping and spitting on a man in a bar, police say.

Keith Murphy, 47, a Republican lawmaker who was elected in 2022, was arrested on two counts of simple assault and one of criminal threatening. Police say Murphy threatened and spat on a man during an argument at Murphy’s Taproom, a bar he operates in Manchester, NH. A police spokesperson said security footage also showed Murphy “pick up a chair in an aggressive manner.

” “I am innocent of these charges and I look forward to my day in court,” Murphy wrote in a statement on Facebook. “When the facts are known it will be clear that the police have charged the victim in this case.” Prior to his election as a state senator, Murphy was a member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives. He was elected to the State Senate after Rep. Michael Yakubovich dropped out due to illness.

Hovercraft suffers gash, beaches itself in New HampshireA hovercraft traveling from Massachusetts' Cape Cod to Nova Scotia ended up beaching itself in New Hampshire after running into trouble. The owner of the decommissioned Canadian Coast Guard vessel told officials that it was not safe to operate because of a tear in the vessel's rubber skirt, so the decision was made to land on Hampton Beach. Police Chief Alex Reno said no one was hurt Saturday and that there were few people on the beach because of rainy weather. The massive air-cushioned vessel powered by twin fan-like propellers was a curiosity for passers-by before being repaired and departing on Sunday.
