White noted Rochester Police received tips from a member of the public that Stockford was allegedly hiding with her mother in Lebanon, ME.

“Investigators went to an address on Lower Middle Road in Lebanon, Maine, where they could see Stockford inside the house,” White reported. “Stockford’s mother delayed law enforcement at the door by initially denying her presence. The task force entered the house and located and arrested Stockford without any further incident.”

Maine State Police took custody of her on a fugitive from justice charge and she’s being held in the York County Jail pending a return to New Hampshire.

This arrest was made through a cooperative effort by members of the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force, including; Strafford County Sheriff’s Office, Greenfield and Rochester Police Departments, Department of State, along with deputy U.S. Marshals, according to White.
