Update: Accused Massachusetts Fentanyl Dealer Turns Himself In

CONCORD, NH — Nearly two weeks ago, an accused Massachusetts fentanyl dealer, with ties to Nashua, was featured as the U.S. Marshals Fugitive of the Week. Monday, he turned himself in. Emmanuel Colon, 26, of Lawrence, MA, was wanted out of U.S. District Court on a federal warrant for sale of a synthetic narcotic-fentanyl.

The warrant was issued on Sept. 5, and he was featured six days later.

After the information was posted online, the task force "conducted interviews and surveillance" in and around the Lawrence area, according to Deputy Marshal Jeffrey White.

"It was as a result of these interviews that Colon learned that he was wanted and contacted the U.S. Marshals this morning," White said. "During this telephone call, Colon agreed to surrender at the U.S. District Court in Concord, NH, which he did."

Colon is currently in custody pending his initial court appearance today on the outstanding narcotic charges.

According to a post on Patch from earlier this year, Colon was arrested along with eight other people in May during a Granite Shield operation on a heroin sales charge.
