Dozens of drivers stopped after New Hampshire State Police conduct traffic enforcement
A traffic enforcement initiative by the New Hampshire State Police on Interstate 95 resulted in 35 drivers being stopped for excessive speeding, including two individuals driving over 120 mph. The enforcement operation took place on Sunday morning and was conducted by the NHSP Special Enforcement Unit and Troop A barracks. Over a span of three hours, troopers observed 50 motor vehicle violations, with 30 drivers traveling at speeds of 90 mph or more, and five drivers exceeding 100 mph. Among those stopped was Chloe G. Marsh, 19, from Waterboro, Maine, who was caught driving a 2022 Honda Accord at 120 mph. Marsh had two teenage passengers in the vehicle and was charged with reckless operation, endangering the welfare of a child, and driving an unregistered vehicle. She is scheduled to appear in Hampton District Court on October 16. Another driver, Carlos Yariel Perez, 20, from Salem, Massachusetts, was stopped for driving a 2016 Acura at 124 mph. Perez had a 13-month-old child in the car and was charged with reckless operation, endangering the welfare of a child, resisting arrest, and failure to yield to an emergency vehicle. He is also scheduled to appear in court on October 16. The penalties for driving at excessive speeds in New Hampshire are significant. Driving at 86 mph or greater can result in a $434 fine and a potential 30-day license suspension. Reckless driving at 100 mph or more carries a minimum fine of $620 and a 60-day license suspension, with penalties set to increase in 2026. The NHSP SEU utilizes advanced technology, including aircraft, to monitor and enforce traffic laws effectively. Their goal is to promote highway safety and reduce crashes on New Hampshire roads. 'As the summer winds down, Troopers ask drivers to slow down, put distractions away and focus on driving,' New Hampshire State Police wrote. 'They want everyone to get to their destination safely. Troopers will continue to work with their partners at the New Hampshire Office of Highway Safety to conduct focused traffic enforcement to reduce speeds, detect impaired driving, prevent serious crashes and ensure the safety of the residents and visitors to the Granite State.'

Kid Cudi Reveals He 'Hated Every Minute' Of Testifying In Diddy Trial
Source: John Nacion / Getty Rapper Kid Cudi has always shied away from media attention and would rather let his catalogue speak for itself, but lately, he's been getting more time in the spotlight, whether he likes it or not. The 41-year-old is currently promoting his book, Cudi: The Memoir, and while doing so, he's also been asked about the last time he was peppered with questions, which was earlier this year when he was subpoenaed to testify against Diddy in his federal sex trafficking and racketeering case. During a recent conversation on the Call Her Daddy podcast, he admitted to host Alex Cooper that he felt uneasy on the stand. ' I was just there because I had to be,' he said . 'I hated every minute of it.' But he goes on to explain that he found solace in knowing that he was doing it for Cassie. We care about your data. See our privacy policy. 'I've always just wanted to see her thrive and do well and be happy because I know she was living a nightmare,' he said. 'And I was just there to support her. That's what kind of gave me peace with it when I sat down in that chair.' When he testified, he told the horrifying stories of how Diddy treated him when he found out he'd been dating Cassie. He remembers the Bad Boy CEO breaking into his home and locking his dog in a bathroom. During another incident, Cudi alleges that Diddy tossed a Molotov cocktail at his Porsche, which set it on fire. That's when Cudi decided to end his short-lived relationship with Cassie out of fear of continued violence, and remembers confronting Diddy about the attempted car bombing, saying he was standing 'with his hands behind his back like a Marvel supervillain.' At the trial's conclusion, Diddy was acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering but found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, which carries a few years in prison. Despite several attempts to get out on a $50 million bond and remain confined to his Miami mansion, he is still in a Brooklyn jail cell awaiting an Oct. 3 sentencing date. See social media's reaction to him testifiying below. SEE ALSO Kid Cudi Reveals He 'Hated Every Minute' Of Testifying In Diddy Trial was originally published on

Kid Cudi ‘hated every minute' of testifying in Diddy's trial but wanted to ‘support' ex Cassie Ventura
Kid Cudi revealed he 'hated every minute' of testifying in Sean 'Diddy' Combs' sex trafficking trial, but ultimately felt at peace supporting his star-witness ex despite being forced to take the stand. The renowned rapper and actor – whose real name is Scott Mescudi – publicly recounted for the first time his experience in Manhattan federal court on the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast, telling host Alex Cooper he only testified against the Bad Boy Records founder because he was subpoenaed. 'I was just there because I had to be,' Mescudi, 41, said on Wednesday's episode. Advertisement 4 Kid Cudi leaving Sean 'Diddy' Combs' sex trafficking and racketeering trial. REUTERS 'At first they asked, and I said no. They asked again, I said no. Then I got subpoenaed, and I was like, 'F–k! S–t! No!' But I hated every minute of it. I did not want to do it but then I thought about when I was up there, you know, I'm here to support Cassie [Ventura].' The musician alleged in May that Combs was in a jealous rage when he broke into his Hollywood Hills home shortly after learning about his budding relationship with Cassie Ventura, an R&B singer who was the disgraced hip hop mogul's on-and-off again girlfriend, in December 2011. Advertisement Mescudi told the jury they had a brief romance during a break in her relationship with Combs, who faced federal charges for forcing his former lovers to live out his degrading sexual fantasies in twisted 'freak offs.' 4 Cassie Ventura and Sean 'Diddy' 'Day 'N Nite' rapper, who sported a leather bike jacket, light-washed jeans and a white T-shirt in court, also accused Combs of firebombing his Porsche convertible with a Molotov cocktail in January 2012, when his kinship with Ventura ended. Advertisement 'In the moment, it was just crazy,' Mescudi told Cooper, as he reflected back on the disturbing time. 'I had a hard time understanding if it was reality. I was like, 'Am I in a movie, what the f–k is going on?'' 4 The rapper accused Combs of firebombing his Porsche in January 2012. U.S. Attorney's Office While the Grammy-winning artist was initially reluctant to testify, he said the 'nightmare' Ventura, 38, endured during her volatile, decade-long relationship with the 'I'll Be Missing You' rapper was all the motivation he needed to stand by her side during the lengthy high-profile trial. Advertisement 'Cassie is my friend and I love her and I want to see her do well,' Mescudi said, adding how thrilled he was when she married personal trainer Alex Fine and became a mom of three. 'I've always just wanted to see her thrive and do well and be happy, because I know she was living a nightmare. I was there to support her. That's what kind of gave me peace with it when I sat down in that chair.' 4 Courtroom sketch of Kid Cudi testifying at Sean 'Diddy' Combs' sex trafficking trial. REUTERS Combs, 55, last month was found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He was acquitted on two sex-trafficking charges and one racketeering charge.
