Police cast doubt on candidate's crash

June 20, 2006

DOVER, N.H. --Police cast some doubt on a congressional candidate's story
that he wandered from an April car crash in a daze, swam across a river and
huddled in the woods overnight until he was found, according to court
documents released Tuesday.

Gary Dodds, 41, a Rye businessman, has not been charged with a crime.

Among the documents is a May 2 state police affidavit that outlines
inconsistencies in Dodds' statements and cites probable cause for three charges:
theft of services, falsifying physical evidence and false public alarms.

Police said their investigation continues.
