According to the chief, hes accused of engaging in Sexual Conduct with a 37yearold woman who is not considered able to give consent. I believe there were some observations made by staff that led to this breaking. It very similar to what you see in a Sexual Assault involving children where theres an inability to concept or communicate properly. Reporter isn released a Statement Today saying it was immediately reported and the employee immediately terminated. They call this a very serious situation, and of course were giving our full cooperation to Law Enforcement and state agencies involved. The chief says they did the right thing by reporting it.

Mike were tracking another system and yesterday looked like this one would track far enough out to sea to give us a light wintery mix. Impact. However, for the big game in foxborough i think the timing will work in your favor if youll be out and about Late Afternoon on saturday. Heres a storm developing over the gulf coast states, and as it trucks towards New Hampshire it will cause an increase in cloud cover later tomorrow into tomorrow night. Notice temperatures are all below freezing now. As we look farther to the south its not all that cold. There will be a lot warm air that accompanies this system, especially over southern New Hampshire. So instead of a blockbuster snow event, it will be more of a wintery mix. The time frame here, Early Saturday Morning, prior to sunrise, some light mixed showers developing, manchester north and west and light rain showers to the south and east. What follows for the rest of the day and what about that timing for late saturday afternoon for the game and the rest of the weekend. Well look at that, straight ahead. Jean to commitment 2016 coverage now and its the first republican faceoff of the new year. Hopefuls take part in their sixth debate of the campaign season. But one candidate says he is not going. Wmurs aixa diaz is in our Washington Bureau to explain. Good evening, aixa. Reporter hi, jean. Rand paul is saying hes boycotting tonights event because he wasnt invited to the main debate. Tonight seven republican president ial candidates take the prime time stage in north charleston, South Carolina. Americas always wondering what donald trump will say next, for better or worse. Reporter once again donald trump enters the debate as the g. O. P. Frontrunner, with ted cruz hot on his heels. Theyre the two leaders and one would expect them to mix it up a little bit. Weve seen that from trump, but not necessarily from cruz. Reporter also invited, bush, carson, christie, kasich and rubio, who are all hoping for memorable performances. There is this feeling that donald trump at the top is going to fall one of these days. It a mistake to not have me in the debate. Reporter paul didnt quality foy for the event like he previously has. And even though he is invited to the earlier debate with fiorina, huckabee and santorum, he says hes not going. To be sent back to the little kids table, which is what happened to Carly Fiorina and now rand paul, its devastating. Reporter after tonight there is still one more g. O. P. Debate before the Iowa Caucuses february 1st. Jean key members of the r. N. C. Met in South Carolina today to discuss preparations for a contested convention this summer. Party Officials Say its not a sure thing, but if it happens they want to be ready. Also today the chair of the Texas Republican Party withdrew a proposal to change the rules in a way that would have ended New Hampshires first in the r. N. C. Sources all tell us that another similar proposal was postponed until the party meets again in april. Josh the proposal was part of why many Granite Staters are concerned that this could be our primary. As we market its 100th anniversary, were giving you a chance to see an encore presentation of an indepth look at this cherished New Hampshire tradition. Theres a reason why the Kentucky Derby is in kentucky. Theres a reason why the rose bowl is where it is. Theres a reason why all kind of different cultural events are where they are, and its the same reason that New Hampshire has the primary. Its here because its birth was here.

We have one road closure, this is on 102 in hudson through the derry area. Weve got a road closure due to an accident investigation, and they are detouring traffic onto cutler road, thats on the eastbound section of 102. West bound is getting by. Coming up from the massachusetts border on 93, sluggish between 111 to 102. And also up toward manchester due to an earlier accident just before 293. 293 is a little bit busy, but moving well by the mall and in the mill yard. 93 north minor slowdowns through the hooksett stretch, and a good ride into concord. Through bedford. And the everett turnpike is getting busy northbound between exits 10 and 11. No issues to and from manchester to hampton on 101 and the spaulding turnpike northbound congested at this time. Im peggy james for wzid. Jean some frightening moments inside bostons oneil tunnel today. Josh a crash happened right in the middle of rush hour, that story next. Jean plus theres no single jackpot winner from last nights powerball. There are three. Where the Winning Tickets were sold and how New Hampshire fared. Mike another weekend just about here and this one looks to feature quite a few changes, the forecast coming up. Josh then, the state has handed out its first certificate for well tell you where. New day for america is this advertising. Who do you like in this election . Not sure yet. Whoever gets weve gone from eight billion in the hole, to two billion in the weve cut taxes and were from a loss of three hundred fifty thousand jobs, to a gain of three hundred fortyseven thousand jobs. What do you think . Kasich. Kasich. He brought back jobs both from and i dont believe another you got people working incredibly long hours. Median Family Income today 4,000 less than it was in 1999. The bottom line of this economy is that it is rigged. What this campaign is about is to demand that we create an economy that works for all of us rather than a handful of billionaires. If you work 40 hours a week in america, you should not live in poverty. Im Bernie Sanders, donkey noise elephant noise mic feedback theres a big difference between making noise, tapping sound and making sense. elephant sound donkey sound when it comes to Social Security, our next president needs a real plan to keep Social Security strong. elephant noise hey candidates. Enough talk. Give us a plan. Jean a multicar crash inside the oneil tunnel in boston caused major backups this morning. A Traffic Camera shows what happened around 5 30 on the control, hit the left wall, then came across the other lanes. No other vehicles actually hit this car, amazingly, and no one was seriously hurt. Josh back now to commitment 2016 coverage. With such a large republican field and a bull horn candidacy of donald trump, a lot of the medias focus in this primary has been on the g. O. P. But theres also a reeg dog fight shaping up in the race for the democratic nomination, especially in the early states, and its a dog fight that even republicans werent expecting. Since the beginning there has been one name in the republican feel while im going to keep my eye on the ball. The way to beat Hillary Clinton is to point out that she doesnt have a track record of accomplishment. Hillary clinton, thats part of the problem. Josh often she is mentioned with her former boss. I dont do the constitution the way president obama and Hillary Clinton do it which is josh but it Bernie Sanders who leads in New Hampshire and is now rising in iowa. But his name is usually mentioned by g. O. P. Candidates as more of a caricature than a real threat to win the democratic nomination. Please, f. B. I. , please, go after hillary, i want to run against bernie. Its still tough for me to see a situation where Bernie Sanders becomes the nominee, but we could be looking at a long slog. Josh he believes clinton still faces pit falls, and history show what is can happen. The worst case for her would be Something Like what happened in 2008 where early losses lead to a lot of people who would assume that she was going to be the nominee and were supporting her for that reason to take a second look, taking a step back and maybe start embracing sanders. Josh even so, clinton is looking past the primary with the focus on the potential republican opponents in november. Out of them. One of these republicans carpet bomb them into oblivion. Could actually be president. Sit down and shut up. Josh that ad is running now. Bernie sanders is in New Hampshire tonight in hanover, while Hillary Clinton has had a couple of people stumping for her this week, her husband and her daughter, chelsea. Jean the powerball fever has broken and now the record 1. 6 billion jackpot will be split three ways with winners in florida, california and tennessee. This is video of the crowds chanting at a 711 in chino hills, california, the owner of that location says he is thrilled. Im excited. Jean a Million Dollar bonus will be shared between the store owner and the 711 company. Didnt win millions, New Hampshire stores did celtic its 700,000. This is believed to have been the largest sales period of lottery tickets ever in this state. Although big jackpot is now gone, the next one is now worth a biddy 40 million. A bristol man thought his big win was a prank, but turned out to be true. Jean Michael Berube won the sailor jerry sweepstakes from the New Hampshire liquor commission. Heres his prize, a custom blue 1966 dodge charger. He says the car brings him right back to his childhood and hes looking forward to showing it off. Mike a few changes today, started with quite a few clouds, a few flurries in some areas. Developing sun during the afternoon. Out on the Newfound Lake we still have a lack of ice out there. Busy winds today, but not as strong as yesterday. With those Winds Continuing to drive in chilly air, on average in the 20s for highs today. A few flurries drifting in from the north and west may clip the North Country, White Mountains and great north woods up until midnight with a spot coating in a few areas. Outside of that it will be dry for the balance of the night. And the rest of the day tomorrow. As for temperatures right now between 20 north and mid to upper 20s south, running just a couple notches below the average for this time of year. Wind coming in out of the west, not all that strong, 5, 10 miles per hour. But top of Mount Washington gusting close to 60, 70 miles per hour, so that wind chill factor is something to contend with, especially in the higher terrain. As for overnight lows tonight, with mainly clear skies developing late, down near zero north, teens for many and a couple of low 20s manchester, nashua and along the coast. Leading into this weekend yesterday looked like a developing storm to our south sea so we could just get a light wintery mix, maybe a coating or an inch or two of snow where it stays all snow. Right now odds favor the storm to track closer, that means more of an impact around here Early Saturday Morning through at saturday. But also notice how warm the air is down to our south. And its not all that cold over north. So we dont have a lot of cold air to drain into this storm, that means well likely see at least a mix or rain in some parts of New Hampshire when that storm arrives. As for tomorrow, a little fading clouds. Heres the storm were tracking for the weekend, and heres a look at the timeline. After flurries this evening give way, it will be mainly clear. A little sun early tomorrow, then the cloud will take over, but it stays dry through tomorrow evening. Good news for travelers for tomorrow night. However, changes come in predown hours of saturday morning, a few light showers of rain or freezing rain, maybe a few wet flakes in some of the higher and lakes region. Then be the brunt of this storm hits during the Morning Hours on saturday through about 1 00 in the afternoon, mainly snow White Mountains, great north woods, mainly rain manchester to the coast. And in between will be that tricky part as we go through the first part of the weekend. Will it be all wet snow or a mix at this point looks like a mixed start and then over to a period of wet snow as the storm cranks up. Then mainly rain again at the coast. This is expected snowfall right now, could change a little bit. But with mainly rain manchester to the coast, at most maybe a coating to a half inch of snow. The tricky part again from concord to the monadnock region, on average one to three inches of wet snow. And on average 2 to 5 from the lakes region points north. That could change a little, so stay tuned to updated forecasts. Again it does change by later in the afternoon. Looks fairly nice for late saturday afternoon into sunday, seasonable temperatures as well. Air behind snow squalls late sunday night, early on monday, beyond that a lot of cold air. Jean thanks, mike. Josh up next, candidates sit down with news 9 to talk about the issue of health care. Jean and students in one school are getting extra days off if they make the grade, thats josh commitment 2016 now, we asked every major candidate what they think the federal government can do to ensure access to quality, Affordable Health care. Here are the answers from the first group of candidates. The most important thing we need to do is to build upon the success of the Affordable Care act to cover more people and to get more people into the insurance pool, if you will. But at the same time we also have to bring down the costs that are at the center of health care in america. Right now we pay more per cap that than any other nation. Were number one in terms of what we pay for health care, but were number 27 in terms of outcomes. And what we found in my state of maryland was that by moving out of our hospitals out of the old antiquated fee for service, where they make themselves more profitable by how many sick bed nights they can keep filled in the course of the year, and payments where they make a certain amount in the course of the year, but they can reduce avoidable hospital room admissions by keeping people well. We found that that helped us save 100 million. Well, what the United States can do is in fact join the rest of the industrialized world. As you may know, we are the only major country on either that does not guarantee health care to all people as a right of citizenship. We have a program called medicare today which is a pretty good program, i believe we should extend medicare to every man, woman and child. When you do that not only will all people have health care, the cost of prescription drugs will go way down, and youll have a much more Cost Effective Health Care System, which will save middle class families thousands of dollars. I want to make sure we begin to bring down the cost of prescription drugs, which are going up faster than nearly anything else in a familys budget. We need to make sure that once and for all medicare can negotiate for lower drug prices we should not give them a tax break for advertising, if they want to do that that should be on their own money. We want them to spend what they spend on more research and development. We need to expedite the process for more generic drugs through the food and drug administration. And we cant forget that Mental Health is also health care, and right now were not doing the job we need to to make it available for all the americans who require it, along with those abuse. And care giving, something i hear a lot about here in New Hampshire. So i have a broad agenda, but it will be built on the foundation of the Affordable Care act. Josh you can find all the answers to all the questions in this series on wmur. Com. Youll hear from republicans on this issue coming up in our next halfhour. Jean straight ahead at 5 30, new england will be represented at in years oscars. Expwrrp a missing persons case is solved, except it wasnt a person, it was the Police Departments mascot. Jean now to our u local hot shot, this candia dog loves going out in the snow. Dad, you can just drop me off right here. Oh no, ill take you up to the front of the school. Thats where your friends are. Seriously, its, its really fine. Seen with your dad . No, its. No. This about a boy . Dad stop, please. O, theres tracy.

Im Hillary Clinton and josh now at 5 30, clearing the way for medical marijuana. New hampshire has just approved the first location for cultivation. Jean it a different kind of school break as we reach mid terms, some students are being told to take the day off. Mike quiet now, but a storm will be inching closer to the Granite State by the start of the weekend, what it will bring to New Hampshire. Josh and some flyers are frustrated after one airlines Computer System breaks down, logan was one of several airports affected by the glitch. Josh tonight New Hampshire has awarded its first certificate for the cultivation of medical marijuana. Welcome back. Im josh mcelveen. This designation comes right on the heels of the first cards for patients to buy medical marijuana. Josh tom griffith is here with a look at where those plants might be grown. Tom the department of health and Human Services issued a conditional certificate for the cultivation of therapeutic cannabis to a firm called swankary atc. It will be located in rochester, New Hampshire and it is the first to receive approval to begin cultivating it in the state. The state plan will include four dispensary locations and three cultivation centers. Once the company has completed cultivating its they are apeut ig can abusiness, the state will inspect it, its dispensing location, which is up in plymouth, to determine if it is ready to begin its operations. After all that happens, a Registration Certificate is issuing, allowing swank water to begin dispensing to qualifying patients and designated caregivers. The dispensary is expected to begin operations sometime in the tom griffith, wmur news 9. Jean it is mid term at high schools across New Hampshire next week. But a new initiative at Bedford High School is raising eye brows for some parents, they are introducing competency recovery days, allowing students who reached a certain level to take time off. Shelley walcott joins us live from bedford to explain. Shelley this is certainly a plan thats causing some controversy. Bedford high school will an justing their schedule next week, and any essentially students who need extra help in certain subjects wont be the only ones required to be in. The district superintendent says students who are up to speed can come in if they choose to, to use the library, catch up on material or work on Community Service credits. And he says most parents have if a student is passing, then they wouldnt necessarily need to report to their testing session next week. Thats actually much like weve been doing for years in most high schools, public high schools in this state. That theres the option, if a student is passing their class, that a teacher can waive the mid term. Reporter the superintendent says the goal of all this is to focus on students who havent reached the level of competency this they should be at, essentially to focus on them and give them extra help. Live in bedford, shelley walcott, wmur news 9. Josh bail for the man accused of trying to kidnap a teenager at the merrimack outlet is now 50,000 cash only. 25yearold desmond mighty had been released on 100,000 cash or surety bond. A judge made the change after mighty was cited in his home state of connecticut for school bus which was picking children up. His trial on New Hampshire charges will start next month. Police in maine made a gruesome discovery, the body of a woman found inside her wells trailer. Authorities believe that lucy mcnulty died two and a half years ago, she was last seen in the summer of 2013 after a stay in the hospital. The Maine Medical Examiners Office say she died of cardiovascular disease, but what makes this case unusual is the time between when she died and when she was found. The town was about to foreclose on the house because of the unpaid taxes. So it was determined that we had to go in. Josh a friend called police after the Christmas Card he sent was returned and asked for a welfare check. But police said when they did, she never answered the door. Jean the Boston Police swat team is welcoming back a familiar feline. They shared this picture today showing the return of the swat the female stray started coming around back in 2013, looking for some love and a little food. When the cat disappeared in november, the Police Department posted seens with this picture of the missing cat. Were happy to report swat cat is home tonight. Josh another retailer is shuttering stores. Up next what the company had to say about new england closures.

Josh this is a hurricane, well tell you how long its been since we tracked these conditions in january. Mike and were not going to hear from that hurricane. But the next system to affect New Hampshire is developing to our south. Ill have the timeline and track coming up. [ horn honks ] okay, this is u. S. Cellular, and this is verizon. Now, same phones, but with u. S. Cellular you get 6 gigs of 4g data for only 40 per month 20 less than verizon. Like out here, here, and here. So, with all of that, why would you ever go to verizon .

The s p up 31. 4615. Average gas prices, nationally and in New Hampshire at 1. 94 a gallon. Several kmart Stores Nationwide are expected to close by mid april. Josh Sears Holdings has confirmed this. Kmart officials declined to regarding whether New Hampshire stores will be affected, but said that individual stores will let people know. Jean some jet blue passengers found their flights delayed or canceled today after a power outage at the data center. Crashed. This is a picture from logan, one of several airports that couldnt display any flight information.

Jean looks pretty. Keeping your dog in shape is getting more high tech, a look at the new tools for four legged fitness, just ahead. Josh then in sports we check in with the u. N. H. Gymnastics team as they get ready for a big meet tonight. An emotional home coming in manchester, coming up a veteran he says it such an important josh continuing with our commitment 2016 coverage, heres what the next round of candidates had to say when we asked them what the federal government can do to ensure access to quality, Affordable Health care. First of all, we need to put the health care back in the hands of patients and the health and what i would do is provide Health Empowerment accounts for everybody, but pay for them with the same money that we pay for Traditional Health care. We spend twice as much per cap that as many other countries. It would also give people the ability to shift money within their Health Empowerment account. That way 80 plus percent of all encounter with the Health Care Profession will be done through your Health Empowerment account. Your catastrophic insurance will drop dramatically, because very few things are coming out of that. And you could buy across state lines. That would take care of the vast majority of people. When it comes to medicare and medicaid, we refashion those programs in a way that gives people options, because we spend five plus thousand dollars on each medicaid recipient and quite a bit more than that on each medicare recipient. What the federal government should do is get out of the way and they should revert this back our belief is that each state should have the ability and the obligation to determine what kind of Health Care System happens in their state. Hampshire. About the same size, 9 Million People in nawj, 1. 3 million in New Hampshire. In New Hampshire the problem is distance for access. Thats not the same system we have in new jersey where we have a densely populated state. Each state should have the obligation and the ability to decide for themselves. Its closer to the citizens and it respects our constitution. Obamacare has been a disaster, millions of americans have lost their jobs and been forced into parttime work have lost their Health Insurance, their doctors, have seen their premiums skyrocket. In New Hampshire premiums skyrocketed under obamacare, its not working. If im elected president well repeal every bit of obamacare and then pass Common Sense Health care reform that expands insurance personal and portable and affordable. That will begin by allowing people to Purchase Health insurance across state lines. So we have a true 50 state national marketplace, that will drive down costs and enable people to aafford low cost catastrophic Health Insurance. Second expand Health Savings accounts, for more routine needs and prevention. And third well work to dealing Health Insurance from employment, so if you lose your job you dont lose your Health Insurance, it goes with you from job to job just like your Car Insurance or house insurance. Were not being helped by obamacare so we must repeal it. It is so complicated that it creating crony capitalism, the drug koition are getting bigger, the health Insurance Companies are getting bigger, the pharmaceuticals are getting bigger. We need to repeal it. We need to give to states the money and the responsibility to manage high risk pools so that im a cancer survivor, i understand people need help sometimes. We need to try the one thing weve never tried in Health Insurance, which is the free market. Its always been a cozy little game between regulators and health Insurance Companies. The only trouble is that game doesnt work for consumers. So lets try the free market real competition. And finally lets ensure, and the federal government can play this role, lets ensure that every Health Care Provider publishes on a regular basis their costs, their prices, and their outcomes. Because the truth is patients have no information today, and because they have no information they have no power. And in something as important as your familys health care and your own health care, you need power. Josh of course well hear from 5 00. You can find out much more on where they stand on this issue and all the other ones in the politics section of wmur. Com. Jean right now a rare storm is churning off the atlantic coast. A look at hurricane alex. Hayley its hard to believe were talking about a hurricane in mid january, but this morning the National Hurricane center upgraded this storm here in the eastern Atlantic Ocean to hurricane status. A rarity for january. Hurricane alex, which is located about 490 miles south of portugals azores islands, which now is under part of a hurricane warning, can you see the azores there, the little dots, alex is the first named storm for the 2016 year. Its also the first named storm to form in the atlantic in january since 1978. But the most interesting stat is that its the first january born hurricane since 1938, and just the fourth known storm to arrive in the month of january since records began. As of 5 00 it has winds up near 85 miles per hour. And its going to move to the north and will impact the azores over the next couple days. Before making it to iceland and green land, which is crazy to believe, but of course thousands of miles away from New Hampshire. For more on the forecast closer to home, heres mike haddad. Mike yes, no tropical moisture to track, but we do have our own system that we are watching closely for the weekend and its closer than the computer guidance yesterday. That means more of an impact for natural for saturday. The time lapse at the coast today, deep blue skies, lot of sun this morning, a few scattered clouds during the afternoon. But mainly clear skies a good part of the day along the coast. Now looking ahead, here come the changes for tonight, a few evening flurries in the for country and across part of the White Mountains. Outside of that dry through friday evening. So no major weather headaches if youre traveling through midnight, one, two a. M. , later tomorrow night. Once we get interest the predawn hours of saturday morning, thats when it could get slick on area roads, as the next storm inches closer. Temperatures will be near freezing at all levels of the mixed showers begin early saturday. Then as precipitation increases, well have rain, and a mix of snow before it wind down early saturday afternoon. So real messy saturday morning across New Hampshire, especially where it stays frozen. The best chance for that north and west of concord. Temperatures in the 20s statewide from the mid to upper 20s along the coast to the low to mid 20s in the merrimack valley, in the monadnock region. Similar temperatures in the upper valley, a bit cooler in the lake sunapee stretch. On average the lakes region between 20 and 25, give or take a degree or two. And colder to the north, down to 10 in pittsburgh, and teens to low 20s elsewhere. Tonight we will fall back to near zero in the North Country on average. Teens to near 20 in southeastern New Hampshire. And the warming trend that continues tomorrow leads us right into the start of the weekend when this storm gets close to the Granite State. And that means enough warm air mixes the snow and any mix over to rain for some part of New Hampshire, especially southeastern zones. Having said that, it could be tricky as the storm gets closer during early saturday as temperatures will be near freezing. Intensity may be a theme in this. North and west of concord, showers or wet snow early with rain and a little mixing in southern parts of the state. Aas the rain increases in southeastern New Hampshire, the precipitation bumps into cold enough air for snow to the north and west, thats where we could see several inches piling up before it wind down early saturday afternoon. So right now mainly rain with possibly a coating to a half irnl in southeastern New Hampshire. One to three to the north and west and Southern Lakes region. Once we get beyond saturday afternoon, skies partially clear late, sunday looks fairly nice. Then a couple of snow squalls, well have to watch out sunday night early on monday could be tricky monday morning, and beyond that front, temperatures heading down at least through tuesday, tuesday night before we get back near 30 midweek. Josh get back near 30. Thanks, mike. So there is now an app that tells you how much activity and rest that your dog is getting every day. Jean its so important, it called wonder woof. Your smart phone connects to a tracking device that looks like a bow tie, you put in your dogs breed, age, weight, and the program tells you how much activity your pooch should be getting every day.
