DOVER - A Somersworth man wanted on attempted sex assault and burglary charges was arrested on Tuesday after a tip from the public alerted police that he was hiding in woods near the Dover Public Library.
Police responded to the area in around 1 p.m., set up a perimeter and quickly located Donald Levier, 35, hiding in the woods of a residence on Nelson Street where he was arrested without incident.
