Marshals Searching For Heavily Tattooed Halfway House Escapee

CONCORD, NH — The U.S. Marshal’s Joint Fugitive Task Force in New Hampshire is asking for the public’s help in finding an alleged halfway house escapee who went missing last night, according to an alert. Eric Judkins, 42, should not be hard to recognize. He’s a heavily tattooed convicted bank robber who was serving part of a 27-month sentence for what Deputy Marshal Jeffrey White called “a serious assault” while in federal prison.

The assault occurred while Judkins was in prison after being convicted of bank robbery in 1999. (For more information on this and other neighborhood stories, subscribe to Concord NH Patch to receive daily newsletters and breaking news alerts.)

Judkins is white, 5 feet, 10 inches, weighs 160 lbs., has brown eyes, a shaved head, and numerous tattoos, too.

“Judkins has a history of violence and should not be approached,” White warned. “Judkins has friend, family and associates throughout the Manchester and Nashua areas, but his current whereabouts are unknown.”

White added, “As always, we encourage fugitives to do the right thing and surrender; and we also remind family, friends, and associates that it is a crime to assist Judkins in his flight from justice and could result in criminal charges.”
