Hudson Fugitive Arrested In Tyngsborough By SWAT Team: Report

HUDSON, NH — A New Hampshire man was arrested in Massachusetts after a multi-hour manhunt by both municipal and state police searching for a wanted fugitive. Michael Pellerin, 45, of Hudson, was arrested Sunday on fugitive from justice on a court warrant and breaking and entering into a motor vehicle charges in Tyngsborough, MA. According to police, Pellerin was found inside of a recreational vehicle after fleeing from an incident in Hudson.

"Pellerin was traced to a RV behind Forrest Marine & RV on Middlesex Road in Tyngsborough," according to Chief Richard Howe of the Tyngsborough Police Department. "Initial reports had indicated that he may have been armed with a firearm. Pellerin was arrested Sunday night without further incident by the Northeastern Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council (NEMLEC) SWAT Team. He was unarmed at the time of his arrest and a subsequent search did not locate a firearm."

Pellerin is expected to be arraigned today in Lowell District Court.

Pellerin was wanted by Hudson police for a possible violation of a domestic violence restraining order on Greenfield Drive at 2 p.m. Back on Nov. 4, the restraining order was implemented barring him from having contact with a woman.

"Upon arrival, officers were told by his spouse that Pellerin was inside her residence, contrary to the protective order," Hudson police stated on Facebook. "It was later determined he had forced entry to the home. The victim arrived home shortly before calling the police to find him there and her firearm missing."

Pellerin is accused of fleeing into the woods and police set up a perimeter in the area of Sullivan Road, Paget Road, and Route 111, in an attempt to find him. The state police also assisted with the search. He was found nearly nine hours later in the Bay State.
