Jacquelyn “Jet” Jennings, 77, of Bow, was recently arrested after allegedly unlawfully imprisoning a rental car courier in her vechicle, causing him to jump from her car at the Hooksett tolls.

The 30-year-old courier was sent to Jennings’ home after the rental car company received a call from her about having a car delivered to her house. The company wasn’t able to deliver the car, but could send someone to bring her to the offices to fill out the proper paperwork.

When he arrived at the home, Jennings said the car the courier drove there was the one she wanted, according to Bow police Lt. Dave Girard.

“She wanted it a different way,” said Girard. “At that point, they got into her car and she was going to bring the courier, because that was the car she wanted.”

As the rental car employee spoke on his cell phone to his superior, Jennings drove off.

“As they got into the car, she put the car into drive and started to move,” said Girard. “He told her to stop, but she refused.

The man who was still on the phone was demanding her to stop, along with the courier.”

Jennings drove the two onto I-93, and upon arriving at the Hooksett tollbooth, the courier jumped out of the car and called the police.

The rental car employee chose to let Jennings face the judicial system.

“He has chosen to press charges, and we can’t deny that request,” said Girard. “This case is certainly a little different than what we usually deal with. We are not picking on her at all, but she now will be facing charges.”

For her actions, Jennings is facing a misdemeanor unlawful imprisonment charge, which could come with up to one year in prison and up to a $1,000 fine, though Girard said both of those penalties are unlikely.

The case has now been handed over to the Concord City Prosecutor’s office, and she will be arraigned on Oct. 18.
