CAMBRIDGE –– A 48-year-old man from Manchester was arrested on Tuesday for driving with a criminally suspended license and providing false information to police.

During the stop, Hughes initially provided a false name to the trooper multiple times.
However, through further investigation, troopers were able to identify him correctly.
Hughes was found to have a criminally suspended driver’s license.
Hughes was arrested without incident and taken to the Lamoille County Sheriffs Department for processing.
He was later released with a citation ordering him to appear in court at a later date.
