While I do not know all facts of your case, and I cannot find a NH case on point regarding the avoidance of a DUI checkpoint, other states' courts have found that if the U-Turn is legally done police officers may not chase/stop you due to the U-turn.
I would argue that the stop was unlawful and no crime was committed as you were trying to avoid the long wait at a checkpoint. You did not disobey an officer, only attempted to avoid the checkpoint itself, which are done at random solely to find drunk drivers.
