“Tips came in and investigators talked to numerous people, which finally led the Marshals Task Force to a possible location in Lynn, Mass.,” he stated.

Early this morning, task force members in Massachusetts visited an apartment on Washington Street in Lynn belonging to one of Monroe’s relatives, White noted. Monroe was located inside and arrested, without incident.

Monroe was turned over to the Lynn Police Department, where he was charged as a fugitive from justice based on the outstanding New Hampshire arrest warrants, White stated.

This arrest, he added, was made through a cooperative effort by members of the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force in both Mass. and New Hampshire. Those agencies included the Lynn Police Department, Mass. State Police, Mass. Parole, Strafford and Rockingham County Sheriff’s Offices, along with deputy U.S. Marshals.
