Convicted NH Drug Dealer, With ‘Violent Tendencies,’ Considered ‘Armed And Dangerous’

CONCORD, NH — The New Hampshire Department of Corrections is asking for the public’s help finding a convicted drug dealer, with an active arrest warrant for assault and threat charges in Manchester, who was also accused of absconding from parole supervision.

Sean Derrick Pinckney is Black, 43, and approximately 5 feet 6 inches tall. He weighs around 240 pounds, has brown eyes, and black hair. According to corrections, Pinckney has no known aliases. He does have tattoos though — an Adidas logo on his right hand, the names “Naes” and “Chyane” on his neck, and “D Boy” on his wrist.

Pinckney, officials said, was on parole after being convicted on drug sale and possession charges. Manchester police, however, issued a warrant for his arrest on domestic violence and criminal threatening charges, and he was accused of absconding from supervision at that time. He has two active warrants.

“Pinckney has a prior criminal history that includes domestic violence-simple assault, stalking, possession of a controlled drug with intent to distribute, possession of a firearm, assault and battery on police, and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon,” an alert stated. “Due to his criminal history, Pinckney should be considered armed and dangerous, with violent tendencies.”

Pinckney was last known to be living in the Queen City.

According to superior court records, Pinckney’s criminal history dates back more than a decade.

In November 2014, Manchester police began investigating him for drug dealing, and he was arrested about 18 months later on a single count of acts prohibited and three sale, transport, and manufacture control drug charges, all felonies. In November 2016, Pinckney pleaded guilty to one sale count and the acts prohibited count. He was sentenced to four to 10 years in prison on one count and 7.5 to 15 years on a second count, which was completed suspended. Pinckney was also fined $1,240, all suspended, and given 205 days time served credit.

In March 2019, he was eligible to participate in the work release program.

Pinckney was charged in January 2023 with felony falsifying physical evidence, criminal restraint, and two domestic violence-simple assault charges after an incident in Manchester in February 2022.

Two months later, a hearing was held to impose the suspended sentence in the drug dealing case.

In January 2024, his drug sentence was amended to 3.5 to seven years in prison, all suspended for three years. Pinckney also pleaded guilty to the domestic violence and criminal restraint charges and received two 12-month sentences, both suspended for five years, and a $50 fine. The evidence charge was nolle prossed.

A payment plan was also structured in February 2024.

A show cause hearing was also booked for April 2024.

If you see Pinckney or know where he is, do not attempt to apprehend him. Contact corrections at 603-271-1804 or local police.
