PETERBOROUGH, N.H. (MyKeeneNow) – A Peterborough man was arrested after allegedly firing a gun at a stalking victim’s vehicle during a police surveillance operation on Saturday.

At approximately 9:00 p.m. Saturday officers observed a suspect repeatedly driving by the victim’s home and parked vehicle. A Peterborough officer then witnessed the suspect fire a gun at the victim’s vehicle, causing damage. Four officers immediately intervened, stopping the suspect’s vehicle on Grove Street near the post office.
The suspect, identified as Travis J. Brown, 36, of Peterborough, was arrested without incident and charged with two counts of Domestic Violence Stalking and Criminal Mischief. He was ordered to be held on preventative detention and transported to Valley Street Jail in Manchester.
Brown was arraigned on Monday at the 8th Circuit Court in Jaffrey, where he remained in custody. The investigation is ongoing.
