Lakes Region Transient Fugitive Considered ‘Violent,’ May Be ‘Armed & Dangerous’: NH DOC

CONCORD, NH — The New Hampshire Department of Corrections is asking for the public’s help finding a drug dealer accused of violating parole, who may be armed, dangerous, and violent.

Scott A. Beaumont is white, 46, about 5 feet, 11 inches tall, and weighs around 200 pounds. He has blue eyes and brown hair. Beaumont has been known to use the aliases “Scott Alan Jacques” and “Jeff Staples,” according to investigators. He also has several tattoos, including a skull on his left ankle, a coyfish on his left forearm, dice on his left hand, a lion head on his right shoulder, a lotus on his left wrist, a sacred heart on his right wrist, and “Dakota,” “Alexis,” a tribal symbol, and Japanese writing on his neck.

Beaumont was released from jail in June and was to be on probation for two years. However, he was accused of violating his probation. There is also a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement warrant against him, too, according to investigators.

“Beaumont has a history of resisting arrest and has multiple prior convictions, including breach of bail, criminal trespassing, filing a false report, burglary, and possession of controlled drugs, including a handgun,” investigators said in an alert. “Beaumont is considered armed and dangerous with violent tendencies.”

Beaumont was last known to be “transient” in the Laconia area.

According to superior court records, Beaumont pleaded guilty to a felony drug possession charge in Salem in April 2022 and received a 12-month sentence and $620 in fines, all suspended for two years in June 2023. He was also arrested in November 2022 on felony drug sales and breach of bail charges in Laconia.

In February 2023, he was arrested on a theft charge in Concord, and in March 2023, he was arrested on felon in possession of a dangerous weapon and breach of bail in Laconia. He failed to appear in court on Nov. 16, 2023. Beaumont was arrested in September 2023 on drug sales, drug possession, breach of bail, and hand-guns-felon-gun application charges.

Beaumont was also arrested in late November 2023 on a felony drug possession charge in Laconia.

Beaumont pleaded guilty to the drug charge on Jan. 12 and received another suspended sentence and fine but was given 81 days of time served credit. He also pleaded guilty to the drug sales and gun charge and received more suspended sentences. Also, on Jan. 12, the felon in possession and bail charges and the drug possession charge were nolle prossed.

Beaumont entered an electronic monitoring problem in April and May.

However, a warrant was issued against him on July 31 for a probation violation. That case is still open.

If you see Beaumont or know where he is, do not try to apprehend him. Contact local police, the corrections department at 603-271-1804, or the Belknap County Sheriff’s Department at 603-527-5454.
