Police say Brian Dillard, a 32-year-old North Adams native, was arrested Thursday night by the North Adams Police Department based on the Pittsfield Police Traffic Unit’s work to secure a warrant. The crash claimed the life of Alan Keefe, 49, of Pittsfield. Dillard, after being arraigned in Northern Berkshire District Court Friday morning, was arraigned in Central Berkshire District Court later that day on the Pittsfield Police Department’s warrant.

His free time is spent with his cat Harry, experimental electronic music, and exploring the woods.
