Stalker With ‘Violent Tendencies’ Wanted On NH Probation Violation

CONCORD, NH—The New Hampshire Department of Corrections is asking for the public’s help finding a felon with a 12-year criminal history who is wanted for a probation violation.

Jeano Leandrew Plante is 32, Hispanic, stands about 5 feet, 4 inches tall, and weighs around 155 pounds. He has brown eyes and black hair. Investigators said Plante had a cancer ribbon tattoo on his right-hand finger and a scar on his left knee.

The New Hampshire Parole Board wants Plante after being accused of absconding from supervision in September.

“Plante has a criminal history that includes resisting arrest, reckless conduct with a deadly weapon, criminal threatening, multiple theft, stalking, and drug possession charges,” investigators said.

Plante was last known to be in the Manchester area but also has connections in Seabrook and Nashua. Due to his extensive criminal history, his fugitive status was cautioned with “violent tendencies.”

According to superior court records and posts on Patch, Plante’s criminal history dates back about 12 years, from when he was a teenager, living in Hudson, and being arrested on a criminal threatening charge.

Plante was involved in four different cases in 2019: In January, he was accused of criminal trespass, theft, and two felony theft charges; in April, he was charged with burglary, breach of bail, and criminal trespass; and Plante was charged with receiving stolen property in October all in Hudson; and controlled drug-heroin/crack in November of that year. In August 2019, he pleaded guilty to the theft and criminal trespass charges from the first two cases and received two deferred 12-month sentences. In April 2020, in Hudson, he was charged with drug possession. Thirteen months later, he pleaded guilty to the stolen property and drug charges and received three one-and-a-half to three-year sentences, all suspended for three years. In July 2021, he was accused of probation violations. One was withdrawn, while a “true” finding was issued on one.

Six more charges were filed against Plante in 2021: In Nashua, in March, he was charged with possession-sale of narcotic drug and resisting arrest or detention; burglary, criminal trespass, stalking, and breach of bail in Hudson in June; possession-sale of narcotic drug, theft, stalking, criminal trespass, and breach of bail charges in June and July in Hudson; theft, stalking, disobeying an officer, and breach of bail in Hudson in July; acts prohibited in Nashua in July; and theft and stalking in Hudson in July. Plante was found guilty on several of the charges and received suspended sentences as well as a three-and-a-half to seven-year sentence in state prison with 216 days of credit for time served.

In November 2022, he was accused of violating probation, and in July 2023, he filed a motion to suspend the sentence in one of the cases, which was denied. He then requested a sentence modification. A hearing was held, and the request was withdrawn in August 2023.

In April, a work release was proposed, and an order was issued in May.
