Marshals: Fugitive Found Hiding Under a Bed

Last week’s Fugitive of the Week, David Hall, has been caught, according to an alert from the U.S. Marshals – New Hampshire Joint Fugitive Task Force.

This afternoon, according to Deputy Marshal Jeffrey White, Hall was picked up in Manchester near Spruce Street, allegedly hiding under a bed. He was wanted on outstanding warrants out of Rockingham County for failure to appear on burglary and delivering prohibited articles charges.

After media outlets published the Fugitive of the Week information earlier this month, marshals received “several tips” throughout central and southern New Hampshire as to where Hall might be. On May 14, 2015, marshals zeroed in on a home on Spruce Street and allegedly spotted Hall getting into a vehicle and driving from the scene. Marshals stopped the car and Hall allegedly jumped out and fled on foot back to the residence, according to White.

“With officers close behind, Hall was located inside of an apartment hiding under a bed with his feet sticking out,” White said. “Hall was taken into custody without any additional incidents.”

On top of the Rockingham warrants, Hall was also charged with resisting arrest, operating a vehicle while being deemed a habitual offender and disobeying a police officer.

U.S. Marshal David Cargill Jr. said in a statement, “The team work approach to policing definitely works. By sharing resources, personnel and intelligence the task force is able to safely and successfully arrest hundreds of fugitives around the state and around the country each year.”

The “Fugitive of the Week” continues to be very successful tool that has resulted in the location and arrest of numerous fugitives since its implementation in 2007, White noted. In more than 13 years, nearly 6,000 people have been caught.
