ROCHESTER - Rochester Police arrested a city man on Monday in the motor vehicle deaths of a Barrington couple in September.
Joshua McCarthy, 33, was charged with two counts of negligent homicide, three counts of witness tampering and falsifying physical evidence, all felonies.
The charges stem from a Sept. 19 motor vehicle accident on Washington St that killed James Hughes Sr., 64, and his wife, Suzanne Hughes, 59.
Police said the accident occurred as the Hughes was traveling west on Washington Street when a 2017 Chevy Silverado driven by McCarthy exited Fillmore Boulevard and the two vehicles collided.
McCarthy was released on $10,000 personal recognizance bail and will be arraigned in Strafford County Superior Court at a date/time to be determined.
