Probation, Drug Fugitive Wanted By Marshals In NH

CONCORD, NH — The District of New Hampshire - New Hampshire Joint Fugitive Task is searching for a Granite State man who allegedly violated his probation after being arrested for possession of opioids. Thomas Drake, 27, is a Caucasian man, weighing around 150 lbs., and standing 5-feet, 10-inches tall. He has blonde hair and blue eyes.

Drake has tattoos on his right arm but no noticeable scars.

According to marshals, a warrant was issued for his arrest on April 1, 2019, out of Grafton County.

Drake was arrested in February 2018, by New Hampshire State Police for possession of a controlled drug-heroin/crack and resisting arrest or detention on River Road in Bridgewater, according to a report on Patch. Back in March 2015, he was arrested for being a felon in possession of a deadly weapon – a knife and brass knuckles – and heroin possession after a visit by his parole officer, the Laconia Daily Sun noted. The newspaper stated that Drake was convicted of simple assault, witness tampering, criminal threatening, and criminal mischief in 2011.

“Drake’s current location is unknown,” said Jeffrey White of the U.S. Marshals Service, “but he has ties to the Bristol and Plymouth areas. Drake is believed to be traveling throughout this part of the state frequently.”

If you see Drake or anyone who resembles him, do not attempt to apprehend him yourself. Contact that U.S. Marshals Service at 603-225-1632 or 1-877-WANTED-2. Tips can also be made online and by texting NHTIP with any information to TIP411.
