Marshals Seek Info On Felon In Possession Of A Weapon Fugitive

CONCORD, NH — The District of New Hampshire - New Hampshire Joint Fugitive Task Force is attempting to locate a fugitive on an outstanding warrant for a parole violation. Daren Keith Gragg is 42, around 6 feet tall, and weighs around 190 lbs. He has blue eyes and brown hair.

The U.S. Marshals noted in its alert this week that Gragg has tattoos on his chest, right hand, left arm, and back. He also has been known to use a number of aliases including "Michael Flynn," "Dino Gragg," "Michael 'Dino' Finney," and "Dino Palermo."

The warrant for his arrest was issued by the New Hampshire Department of Corrections on May 24.

"Gragg is wanted on an outstanding warrant for parole violation," Deputy Jeffrey White stated. "Gragg is on parole because of a felon in possession of a weapon conviction. Gragg's current location is unknown but has ties to the Derry, NH, area."

If you see someone who looks like Gragg or know where he is, don't try to apprehend him yourself. Call the USMS District Office at 603-225-1632 or I-877-WANTED-2.

Gragg is well known to law enforcement around the state due to his previous affiliation with the street gang known as Impact when he was a teenager in the 1990s.

In 2008, Gragg was arrested in Vermont on a fugitive warrant. At the time, he was in the process of attempting to become a corrections official in that state using the "Michael Finney" alias, according to press reports.

Gragg and a woman were arraigned in Seabrook District Court on burglary charges after a standoff with police on Lafayette Road in January 2014. At the time, he had a number of other active warrants for fraud, failure to appear, obtaining drugs using a false name, and impersonating a police officer in Derry, Keene, Londonderry, and Manchester, according to a story on Patch. His previous convictions included felony criminal restraint in 1998, felony bail jumping in 1997, first-degree assault in 1997, a Class B misdemeanor for carrying a weapon in 1996, and a Class A misdemeanor theft by deception in 1998.
