2nd Alert Issued For NH Felon Douglas Smith: Trooper Roundup
State police believe people are concealing the sex offender and career criminal's whereabouts. Charges may be issued against accomplices.

CONCORD, NH — The U.S. Marshals' New Hampshire Joint Fugitive Task Force is joining the New Hampshire State Police in trying to locate a potentially armed and dangerous fugitive wanted on numerous arrest warrants in multiple jurisdictions. State police, who issued an alert asking the public for help finding Douglas C. Smith Jr. in January on two felony domestic violence warrants, issued another alert Sunday for Smith's arrest. Smith, who is 31, is "wanted on numerous outstanding arrest warrants from multiple jurisdictions," according to Lt. Michael Kokoski of Troop C.
"Subsequent to the aforementioned arrest warrants being obtained, Mr. Smith has knowingly concealed his location from law enforcement," Kokoski said. "In doing so, Smith has committed a new felony level offense by failing to register as a criminal-offender."
Kokoski said investigators believe "several individuals" are "actively concealing Smith’s whereabouts in an effort to hinder, prevent or delay his apprehension and prosecution." Those people are committing criminal offenses themselves, he said, and "law enforcement will aggressively pursue criminal charges against any person found to have hindered Smith's apprehension."
