Convicted Forger, Fugitive Wanted On Drug Dealing Charges, Found

CONCORD, NH — Last week's U.S. Marshals Service's fugitive of the week in New Hampshire has been captured, according to the U.S. Marshals Service.

Reginald Trefethen IV, 27, was arrested in Rochester on warrants Monday after police were sent to a home on Charles Street for a report of an unwanted person, according to Jeffrey White, a deputy marshal.

"Upon arrival, the officers made contact with the Fugitive of the Week, Reginald Trefethen, and arrested him without incident," White said.

Trefethen was wanted out of Rockingham County after being accused of failing to appear in superior court on fentanyl dealing, cocaine possession, and accomplice on fentanyl dealing charges after being arrested, with two other people, in May 2019 by New Hampshire State Police in Portsmouth.

Trefethen was taken to the Strafford County Jail for processing and holding pending Rockingham sheriffs picking him up and transporting him to court Tuesday. After being arrested last year, he was released on bail. The court hearing he was accused of missing was in late January.

Previously, according to court documents, Trefethen was convicted on felony drug possession charges in January 2016 after incidents in Portsmouth and Seabrook and convicted on several felony forgery counts in February 2016 after an incident in Rochester. Trefethen was also arrested in October 2015 for failure to appear on drug charges in Rockingham County.
