New Hampshire Fugitive Found In Rochester Motel: Marshals

CONCORD, NH — It took a couple of months and a little help but the U.S. Marshals Service’s fugitive task force found another one of its weekly fugitives of the week on Monday, accused of hiding out in a New Hampshire motel.

Megan Ann Morrison, 25, was featured on May 26, after the task force was requested to find her due to a bail violation warrant issued out of Strafford County. That warrant was issued on May 6.

On Monday, police in Rochester were provided with information that led investigators to a motel on Rochester Hill Road, according to Jeffrey White, a deputy marshal.

“At this location members of the U.S. Marshals-NH Joint Fugitive Task Force along with members of the Rochester Police Department made contact with a female in one of the rooms who initially provided a false name,” he said. “After additional inquiries, the female was determined through tattoos to be Megan Ann Morrison and arrested without further incident.”

Morrison was taken to the Strafford County Jail where she was held. She was expected to be arraigned on Tuesday in Strafford County Superior Court.

U.S. Marshal Nick Willard thanked Rochester police for their assistance with this case as well as Granite State police who work together with the task force.

“Law enforcement in the state of New Hampshire is very much a team and works seamlessly together to combat crime and arrest fugitives,” he said. “The US Marshals Service is very grateful for the many relationships with their federal, state, county, and local law enforcement partners.”

According to court records, Morrison was arrested on aggravated driving under the influence, driving after revocation or suspension, and open container charges in Rochester in July 2017. She was charged with violation of probation or parole in November 2019 and February 2020. She was also arrested in September 2018 on two controlled drug and two fentanyl possession charges, all felonies, and a driving after revocation or suspension charge in Newington. She was accused of two felony drug possession charges in Kingston in May 2019. Morrison was arrested in Concord in January 2020 on a controlled drug: controlled premises where drugs kept charge to which she pleaded guilty in November 2020.
