Convicted Burglar, Thief, Who Violated Probation, Wanted By New Hampshire Corrections

CONCORD, NH — The New Hampshire Department of Corrections is asking for help finding a convicted burglar and thief with a lengthy criminal history who is wanted for a probation violation.

Bryon Matthew Bouchie is 40, white, about 5 feet, 10 inches tall, and weighs around 170 pounds. He has brown eyes and brown hair. Bouchie has tattoos on his abdomen and the word “Bouchie” on his inner right forearm. Bouchie is wanted on a failure to appear warrant out of Sullivan County and a probation violation warrant out of Cheshire County.

“Bouchie is wanted for a probation violation which stems from an underlying conviction of possession of fentanyl, a Class A felony,” investigators said. “He was released from the NH State Prison on July 6, 2023, after serving the maximum sentence on multiple prior convictions for burglary.”

Corrections said Bouchie was court-ordered to begin a four-year probation sentence upon his release and reported to the Sullivan County Probation Parole Office once. An alert stated attempts to locate him had been unsuccessful.

“Bouchie has a history of substance abuse, and his criminal history includes convictions for thefts, multiple burglaries, possession of controlled drugs, and multiple violations of probation,” the fugitive alert stated.

Bouchie was featured in October 2023, and is still at large, investigators said.
