CONCORD, NH — The U.S. Marshals-New Hampshire Joint Fugitive Task Force asks for the public’s help finding a twice-convicted drug dealer accused of parole violations.

Tia Jean Reed is 26, about 5 feet, 5 inches tall, and weighs around 140 pounds. She has strawberry blond hair and blue eyes. Reed, according to Jeffrey White, a deputy marshal, has several tattoos, including the word “LOVE” on her left arm, a skull and flowers on her left hand, wings with a music note, and the word “FAITH” on her back, and “XOXO” on her left ear.

“Reed is being sought on a warrant alleging violations of her conditions of parole,” White said. “Reed is on parole due to an original conviction and sentence for sales of a controlled drug-fentanyl.”

Reed is “currently believed to be transient,” but her last know residence was Hill, he said. She has ties throughout the Lakes Region including Alexandria, Bristol, Sanbornton, and Laconia areas.

According to superior court records, Reed was arrested on nine counts of drug possession and cocaine dealing after a multi-month investigation between January and May 2015 in Franklin, when she was in her late teens. She pleaded guilty to six of the charges in February 2016. Reed was arrested on six more drug charges in March 2017 in Franklin. She pleaded guilty to four of the charges in January 2018 as well as a violation of probation or parole charge. In February 2018, Reed forfeited $1,804 in drug money, at the request of the state.
