New Hampshire Fugitive Task Force Nabs 2 In Less Than 24 Hours

CONCORD, NH — The U.S. Marshals Service has two recent New Hampshire Fugitives of the Week in custody after arrests made Wednesday and Thursday. Back on Jan. 15, Travis James Truell, 35, was featured due to being wanted on a parole warrant after being convicted in an armed robbery case in the Upper Valley. As a result of the alert, "numerous tipsters" advised he was in Manchester, according to Brandon Wilson, a deputy marshal.

"This information, as well as hard work by the officers/deputies involved, pointed investigators to a vehicle Treull was known to drive," Wilson said. "Members of the NH Joint Fugitive Task Force were able to locate the vehicle and attempted to stop it on Cedar Street in Manchester."

Truell, however, jumped out of the vehicle and tried to run from task force members, he said.

"Truell surrendered peacefully when he realized he could not outrun members of the task force," Wilson said.

Marshals also received information about Robert Ruggiero, 26, who was Wednesday's fugitive. Tipsters who knew Ruggiero, a convicted bank robber, said he could be found at Complete Labor in Manchester. Ruggiero was arrested there Thursday on a supervised release violation warrant before he left for the day, Wilson said.

Ruggiero is expected to be in U.S. District Court later today while Truell is being held at the Hillsborough County House of Corrections
