ICE Agents, NH Corrections Searching For Convicted Drug Dealer Released On Parole In 2011

CONCORD, NH — Investigators from New Hampshire and the federal government are asking for the public’s help finding a convicted drug dealer who is wanted on a violation after absconding from the parole board 13 years ago.

Xavier R. Lopez is 41, Hispanic, about 5 feet, 9 inches tall, and weighs around 205 pounds. He has brown eyes and black hair. Lopez has scars on his left wrist and chest and has been known to use the aliases “Omar Guzman-Guerrero,” “Jose Vasquez,” and “Lopez Xavier.” He has active warrants from the New Hampshire Parole Board and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

According to corrections, Lopez was sentenced to eight to 20 years in prison for possession with intent to distribute cocaine and heroin. After being released on parole, he absconded from supervision in 2011.

“Both the New Hampshire Parole Board and ICE have issued nationwide, fully extraditable warrants for his arrest,” an alert stated. “Lopez has used multiple aliases and dates of birth to evade capture.”

Since 2011, it is believed Lopez spent time in Massachusetts, Indiana, and Florida.

“There is reason to believe he may have returned to New Hampshire this year,” corrections said.

Lopez, according to superior court records, was accused of dealing drugs in October 2006 in Nashua. Two months later, he was charged. He pleaded guilty to four counts in September 2008.

If you know where Lopez is or sees someone that looks like him, contact the corrections department at 603-271-1804 or your local police department.
