NH Fugitive With ‘Violent Tendencies’ Wanted By U.S. Marshals

CONCORD, NH — The U.S. Marshals-New Hampshire Joint Fugitive Task Force is attempting to find a capital region felon who is wanted on numerous charges in Concord.

Jason Edward Brooks is 43, about 6 feet, 2 inches tall, and weighs 180 pounds. He has brown eyes and black hair. Originally from Detroit, Michigan, Brooks has the word “Detroit” tattooed to his right front arm, along with praying hands, as well as the city’s name and the grim reaper on his back. The numbers, “313” and “DHS” are tattooed on his left arm, Jeffrey White, a deputy marshal, said.

“Brooks is being sought on an arrest warrant for multiple counts of assault, reckless conduct, and being a felon in possession of a dangerous weapon,” White said. “Brooks has an extensive criminal history including drug offenses, resisting arrest, firearms charges as well as crimes of violence.”

Brooks has ties to Concord and the capital region, he said. A “violent tendencies” warning has been placed on the alert.

According to superior court records, Brooks has a number of charges against him dating back nearly 20 years.

In January 2004, he was accused of reckless conduct, criminal threatening, attempt, and simple assault after an incident in Portsmouth, which led to convictions on the threat and assault charges. In April 2016, Brooks was charged with habitual offender and falsifying physical evidence, both felonies after an incident in Hooksett. He pleaded guilty to both charges in January 2017. Four and a half years later, Brooks was accused of habitual offender and conduct after an accident in Concord. On Jan. 14, he failed to appear in Merrimack County Superior Court for a plea and sentencing hearing, and a warrant was issued for his arrest.

According to reports on Patch, he has been arrested a number of times since 2014.

In February, he was charged with a fraudulent use of a credit card charge. In June, Brooks was charged with two counts of fraudulent use of a credit card, receiving stolen property, and two bench warrants. He was picked up on another bench warrant in October 2014. Brooks was indicted on a motor vehicles; penalties charge in 2021.
