Michael G. Goldschmidt Arrested on Route 11 in Sunapee for Aggravated DUI

Sunapee police stopped a vehicle on Route 11 at Edgemont Road the night of March 1, 2026, and made an on‑view arrest for aggravated driving under the influence, the department’s weekly arrest log shows. The log lists the person arrested as Michael G. Goldschmidt, 38, of Newport, New, and records the charge as aggravated DUI; the entry is truncated at “New” and provides no further incident narrative.

The weekly arrest log does not include details about why officers stopped the vehicle, whether any field sobriety or chemical tests were administered, or whether there were injuries or property damage. Sunapee’s entry offers no arraignment date or booking information for Goldschmidt in the excerpt released in the weekly log.

Separately, Valley News and Vnews report a distinct, more complex incident involving a Sunapee man named Matthew Sullivan, 42. Valley News wrote, “A Sunapee man was arrested Saturday morning after he allegedly stole an SUV in Newport, crashed into multiple utility poles in Sunapee leaving power lines in the road and the vehicle on fire, and then tried to flee the scene on foot.” Vnews listed criminal counts against Sullivan as felony theft by unauthorized taking, reckless conduct with a deadly weapon, conduct after an accident and aggravated driving while intoxicated, plus one misdemeanor for conduct resisting arrest.

Witness accounts cited by Vnews said, “Sullivan escaped with minor injuries and began running along the roadway, allegedly trying to get into other vehicles, according to witnesses.” Vnews also reported, “Newport and Sunapee police apprehended Sullivan without further injury or damage, according to reports.” Valley News adds that Sullivan was transported to Dartmouth‑Hitchcock Medical Center for treatment and “is expected to be arraigned in Sullivan County Superior Court on Monday.” Anyone with information on that incident is asked to call Newport Police Sgt. Stephen Lee at 863‑3232.

A third, separate crash reported by WMUR involved a head‑on collision on Maple Street in Newport at about 3:40 p.m. on a Friday. WMUR identified the Silverado operator as Dylan Galland, 49, of East Windsor, Connecticut, and said Galland was arrested for aggravated DWI and faces a negligent homicide charge after the Jeep Wrangler he struck rolled over and its driver suffered fatal injuries. WMUR reported the Newport Police Department was assisted by the Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office and the New Hampshire State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Unit and added, “This investigation is in its very early stages.” WMUR also directs tips to the Newport Police Department at (603)‑863‑3232.

The Sunapee arrest log entry and the Valley News/Vnews and WMUR reports name three different individuals and describe separate alleged events; no source in the available records connects Michael G. Goldschmidt’s March 1 log entry with the Matthew Sullivan or Dylan Galland incidents. Investigations remain active; Sullivan and Galland cases are slated for arraignment proceedings, and police remain the point of contact for additional information.
