Accused Fentanyl Dealer Wanted For Failure To Appear: Marshals

CONCORD, NH — The District of New Hampshire - New Hampshire Joint Fugitive Task Force is searching for an accused fentanyl dealer who is wanted for failure to appear in court. Amanda Lee Tappan is 31, about 5-feet, 5-inches tall, weighs around 130 lbs., and has brown hair and hazel eyes. She has a scar on her chin and a number of tattoos including a heart on her left wrist and a star and flowers on her left hip.

Tappan was arrested on drug dealing charges by Nashua police in April. A warrant for her arrest for failure to appear was issued out of U.S. District Court on Sept. 24.

"Tappan is wanted for bail violations (failure to appear) with the original charge of sales of fentanyl," said Jeffrey White, a deputy marshal. "Tappan is known to have ties to the Nashua, Hudson, and Manchester, NH areas."

Along with the arrest in April, Tappan was arrested in November 2016 and indicted in 2017, on a fentanyl possession charge after an incident in Salem. She was also indicted in 2017, on possession of psilocin and a subsequent operating after suspension charge after a traffic stop in Nashua in September 2016. In December 2016, she was arrested in Nashua on an electronic bench warrant for nonappearance in court.

If you know where Tappan is or you know someone that looks like her, contact the U.S. Marshals Service at 603-225-1632 or local police.
