OSSIPEE — A man accused of dragging a state trooper and leading police on a chase that required spike strips to be deployed was ordered last week to be held on $3,000 cash by a Carroll County Superior Court judge.
Patrick McManus, 32, formerly of Ossipee, faces a slew of charges stemming from a Jan. 6 traffic stop.Â
