Drug Fugitive Who Skipped Court Arrested In Londonderry: Marshals

CONCORD, NH — This week's Fugitive of the Week was captured pretty quickly not based on tips but on what has been described as "persistent investigation" by members of the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force. Scott Andrew Belville, 50, was arrested late Wednesday morning on Pendelton Lane in Londonderry after task force members tracked him down at a family member's residence, according to Deputy Marshal Jeffrey White. Belville was wanted on an outstanding warrant issued in March from Rockingham County Superior Court for allegedly failing to appear on charges of possession of cocaine and transporting drugs.

Belville also had two electronic bench warrants for failure to appear on two willful concealment charges, too.

"In this case, it was not tips that led to (Belville being caught) but it was the result of several hours of persistent investigation by members of the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force," White stated. "While conducting surveillance in Londonderry, Belville was observed exiting the residence in an attempt to depart in a car. The team quickly moved in and made the arrest without incident."

Belville was transported directly to the Rockingham County Jail on June 26, 2019, where he is being held without bail pending a future court appearance.

Members of the task force working on this case included deputy U.S. Marshals, members of the Rockingham, Hillsborough, Belknap and Strafford county sheriff’s offices, the Greenfield Police Department, and the Federal Protective Service.

According to Derry police, Belville was arrested in February 2018, in that community after a motor vehicle stop on Ash Street. He was found to have an electronic bench warrant for willful concealment and a warrant on trafficking in fentanyl charge in Massachusetts. Belville was also charged with possession of cocaine and transporting drugs. His bail was set at $10,000 cash.

Belville was arrested in June 2017, in Londonderry, on a theft-shoplifting charge. He was living in Dover at the time, according to police. In May 2011, Rockingham County Sheriffs arrested Belville, who was living in Newmarket at the time, on a violation of probation charge after being convicted of possession of heroin. He was also arrested in Londonderry on March 20, 2011, on driving after revocation or suspension and possession of drugs in a motor vehicle charges as well as an electronic bench warrant.
