William C. Ziegler, 30, of no permanent address, was arrested on a bench warrant issued by Second District Court after the car in which he was a passenger was stopped for speeding in a school zone on West Main Road near Melville School around 8:45 a.m.

A dye pack exploded shortly before 1:50 p.m. inside Citizens Bank at 3033 East Main Road, causing irritation to the throats and mouths of five employees, police said. (Dye packs, hidden inside stacks of banknotes, are incendiary devices used by some banks to foil robberies by permanently marking stolen cash.) The Portsmouth Fire Department evaluated the employees, all of whom refused to be transported to Newport Hospital for further treatment. Police said a female worker had been moving a dye pack — which contains hazardous materials — from one area of the building to another when it exploded. No customers were in the bank at the time. Firefighters later cleared the building to be safe for employees to return inside, but the manager closed the bank for the day to have it cleaned.
