Corrections Investigators Seek Info On NH Strangulation Convict

CONCORD, NH — The New Hampshire Department of Corrections is asking for the public’s help finding a felon with an extensive criminal history who has been on the lam for around 18 months.

Stephen Roth is 59, white, about 5 feet, 7 inches tall, and weighs around 146 pounds. He has brown eyes and black hair. Roth also has a skeleton tattoo on his right shoulder and a Viking and barbed wire on his left shoulder.

The Rockingham County Superior Court issued a warrant for his arrest on June 20, 2022, on probation violations and for absconding from supervision after he failed to report to probation after being released on bail on a previous probation violation, investigators said. The case was connected to a felony second-degree assault-domestic violence-strangulation conviction.

“Roth has an extensive criminal record in multiple states to include numerous assaults, theft, criminal threatening, drug possession, assault and battery, and kidnapping-false imprisonment,” investigators said. “Roth is known to abuse drugs and alcohol and he has violent tendencies.”

Roth was living in Lowell, Massachusetts, when he was accused of absconding. He also has ties to Rhode Island and Florida.
