CONWAY — Conway police on Wednesday filed a reckless driving charge against Carroll County Treasurer Joe Costello. They say the violation-level offense happened May 8 at about 1:51 p.m. near the Big Apple Citgo gas station in North Conway.

The complaint, filed by police Sgt. James LaPoint, says Costello, 71, of Conway “did operate a motor vehicle on White Mountain Highway, located in Conway, New Hampshire, in a reckless manner so that the lives and safety of the public were endangered, in that Joseph Costello ‘brake checked’ and unlawfully passed another vehicle in heavy traffic while engaged in a road rage incident.”
