New Hampshire Corrections Searching For Felon With Nearly 20-Year Criminal History

CONCORD, NH — The New Hampshire Department of Corrections is asking for the public’s help finding a felon parolee with “violent tendencies” who could possibly be “armed and dangerous.”

Dwan Dominic Anderson is Black, 37, about 5 feet, 8 inches tall, and weighs around 210 pounds. He has brown eyes and black hair. Officials said he had several tattoos, including a Washington symbol on his right upper arm, “773” on his right chest, “Netty” and “Hailey” on his right forearm, and the letter “B,” the numbers “02119,” the names “Dwan & Barbie,” and “Bonnie & Clyde to Death” on his left forearm. Sometimes, he uses the aliases “Shine,” “Cutter,” or “Cutta,” according to an alert.

Anderson is wanted on a parole violation after he was released in November 2024 after being convicted of witness tampering and falsifying physical evidence. He was accused of failing to appear on Jan. 29 and cutting off his GPS monitoring bracelet on Jan. 31.

The New Hampshire Parole Board issued a warrant for his arrest on Feb. 7.

“Anderson has a lengthy criminal history that includes kidnapping and felon in possession of a dangerous weapon,” an alert stated. “Anderson was last known to be residing in the Barnstead area.”

Back in March 2006, Anderson was accused of kidnapping and criminal threatening in Litchfield and Manchester. He pleaded guilty to the single Manchester kidnapping count in July 2007 and was sentenced to five years in prison. Anderson was permitted to participate in a work-release program in September 2012.

In August 2015, Anderson was arrested on felon in possession of a dangerous weapon and falsifying physical evidence charges after an incident in Concord in June of that year. Two and half months later, he was accused of witness tampering on three occasions after the incident. Police accused him of threatening a local Backpage escort if she cooperated with investigators concerning accusations of him prostituting women out of the Best Western on Hall Street in Concord. While living in Pembroke, Anderson pleaded guilty to weapon possession, falsification, and two tampering charges in March 2016.

Anderson was arrested again on felon in possession of a dangerous weapon and four controlled drug counts out of Concord in December 2017, connected to an incident a month before. He was accused of stealing a detective’s drug cash during an undercover heroin buy. Anderson pleaded guilty to two of the drug charges and the weapon charge in March 2018, and his previous sentence from the 2015 cases was also amended, according to superior court documents.

Anderson was featured as a fugitive of the week in July 2022 by the U.S. Marshals-New Hampshire Joint Fugitive Task Force after he was accused of violating parole. He was arrested in September 2022.

Anderson, according to posts on Patch, was previously arrested for driving after revocation or suspension, theft by unauthorized taking or transfer, and warrants.

Between 2015 and 2024, Anderson requested courts in Concord and Lancaster to allow him to change his name six times. According to documents, he was denied each time.

If you know where Anderson is or see someone who looks like him, do not try to apprehend him. Contact local police or corrections at 603-271-1804.
