MANCHESTER, NH — Police in Manchester have issued an alert looking for a parolee with a violent history who has disappeared from a sober living house without his GPS monitoring device. Kevin Paul is 40 and was released on parole after being arrested in 2018 on firearm and stolen property charges out of Concord, Londonderry, and Weare. Paul, formerly of Concord, served nearly 17 years in prison for armed robbery while standing by a friend who shot and killed Jeremy Charron, an Epsom police officer, in August 1997.
Paul was also a fugitive in 2015 after being let out on parole and later, was arrested in Massachusetts on a fugitive charge and brought back to the Granite State to face firearms and armed career criminal charges as well as parole violations.
According to Heather Hamel, the public information officer for the Manchester Police Department, Paul had been staying at a sober living house in the city until last weekend when he walked away.
