Accused NH Drug No-Show Found Hiding In A Closet: Marshals

CONCORD, NH — The New Hampshire Fugitive of the Week from last week has been captured. Samuel Jeff Warren, 31, was arrested Friday in Rochester after being found by task force members, hiding in a closet, according to Jeffrey White, a deputy marshal. After Warren was featured on Oct. 16, several tips led investigators to Rochester.

"The NH Joint Fugitive Task Force was able to develop additional information pointing to an associate’s apartment on Brochu Court in Rochester," White said. "After searching the apartment and not locating Mr. Warren, three adjacent storage closets were checked, which led to the discovery of one of the closets being locked and noticeably occupied."

A person inside the closet refused to open the door but it was forced opened. At the time, the occupant, Warren, was arrested.

Warren was taken to the Strafford County Jail and is being held on a Strafford County warrant for bail violations/failure to appear on an original narcotics offense, as well as multiple district court warrants for resisting arrest or detention, assault and failing to pay restitution on a theft offense.

The task force involved in the capture was made up of members of the Belknap, Hillsborough, Strafford, and Rockingham county sheriff’s offices and several officers from the Rochester Police Department.
