Spencer had been wanted on an arrest warrant issued by the Strafford County Sheriff’s Office for violations of probation as a result of being convicted and sentenced for drug offenses, according to Berry.

“Several tips were received placing Spencer at an Ela Court apartment after being featured as this week’s Fugitive of the Week,” Berry stated. “This arrest was a cooperative investigation by Rochester PD, Strafford and Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Offices, NH Probation/ Parole and the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force.”

During the past few years, Spencer has been arrested numerous times, including for shoplifting in 2013, drug possession last year, and simple assault and criminal mischief in 2011, all in Rochester. She was arrested in Maine last summer for failure to provide correct name.
