CONCORD, NH — A New Hampshire Fugitive of the Week from about two weeks ago has been apprehended by police, according to the U.S. Marshals Service. Hayden Moon, 24, was arrested by Tilton Police on Nov. 14, 2016, for obstructing governmental operations and reckless conduct.

Moon was requested to be tracked down by marshals after he allegedly fled a traffic stop in Belmont on Oct. 28, 2016, while also dragging a police officer with his car. He was featured on Nov. 2, according to Deputy Jeffrey White.

“The ‘Fugitive of the Week’ feature did provide numerous leads, which were quickly followed up on by numerous members of the fugitive task force, including the NH State Police,” White alleged. “This afternoon, it was officers from the Tilton Police Department that conducted a traffic stop on a car in their town. During this stop, one of the occupants of the vehicle was arrested for being in possession of narcotics.”

During the booking process, it was determined that the name that was initially provided was false and that the individual in custody was Hayden Moon. After processing, he was transported to the Belknap County Jail for holding pending his initial court appearance. He also has an active drug arrest case in Concord from October, according to police.
