PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — A 20-year-old Maine woman is facing multiple charges after New Hampshire State Police said she physically removed and concealed the registration plate from her motorcycle before speeding away from a Trooper on the Spaulding Turnpike.
Alexandra Littlefield, of Lebanon, Maine, was arrested Thursday, Aug. 13, after Trooper Philip Sheehy obtained a warrant for her arrest.
The case began at approximately 6:19 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 12, when Sheehy, assigned to the Troop A barracks, attempted to stop a red 2026 Ducati Panigale for a registration violation on the Spaulding Turnpike in Portsmouth.
But police said the stop didn’t happen.
After Sheehy activated his emergency lights, State Police said the motorcyclist was observed reaching back and physically removing the registration plate from the motorcycle before concealing it.
The motorcyclist then allegedly accelerated away from the Trooper and dangerously passed other drivers while fleeing.
Sheehy discontinued his attempt to stop the motorcycle in the interest of public safety.
Instead, an investigation was launched to determine who was behind the handlebars.
Investigators identified the motorcyclist as Littlefield, and Sheehy subsequently obtained an arrest warrant that led to her arrest the following day.
Littlefield was charged with felony reckless conduct with a deadly weapon and falsifying physical evidence.
She also faces misdemeanor counts of disobeying a police officer, driving after revocation or suspension and obstructing government administration, along with violation charges of reckless operation and failure to display plates.
Littlefield was released after posting cash bail.
She is scheduled to be arraigned in Portsmouth District Court on Monday, Sept. 28, 2026.
The investigation remains ongoing.
Anyone with information that may assist investigators is asked to contact Trooper Philip Sheehy at Philip.J.Sheehy@dos.nh.gov.
