A 23-year-old man was hospitalized after a physical altercation with two detectives outside of a Rite-Aid pharmacy.

Pelham resident Kevin Henderson – with three warrants already out for his arrest on charges relating to speeding and drug possession – attempted to flee the pharmacy parking lot after two detectives approached him and identified themselves at about 1:11 p.m. Thursday, July 24.

Officers were able to physically detain Henderson, at which point he began to struggle with police, authorities said. One officer sustained minor arm injuries.

After additional officers arrived at the scene, Henderson was placed into the backseat of a police cruiser for transport. Henderson began kicking the backseat windows, causing damage to the vehicle’s doors and windows, according to police.

Henderson was subsequently transported to Southern New Hampshire Regional Medical Center to receive treatment for minor lacerations to his head sustained during his struggle with police.

Police are charging Henderson with resisting arrest, assaulting an officer, criminal mischief and operating a vehicle with a suspended license. He is also being held on three electronic bench warrants, including driving with a revoked license, speeding, and possession of drugs in Nashua and Merrimack.
