Marshals Find Former Fugitive in Massachusetts

A Fugitive of the Week from last month has been found in a Worcester jail, according to U.S. Marshals.

Andre Watson, 38, formally of Concord, was located in Worcester County Jail in Massachusetts, according to officials. He was wanted on “an outstanding parole warrant issued by the N.H. State Parole Board” and was on parole on a previous cocaine sales conviction. He was also wanted on a warrant out of Massachusetts for carrying a firearm without a license.

“Today, it was learned that Watson is currently being held without bail on the Mass. warrant on the firearm charge,” according to Jeffrey White, Deputy U.S. Marshal, District of New Hampshire.

Watson was featured on a Fugitive of the Week post on Patch and other media outlets in mid-August. After finding out he was in the Worcester County Jail, a parole officer was notified and filed paperwork in Massachusetts.

“This paperwork will ensure that once Watson’s case has been resolved in Worcester County, he will be turned over to the N.H. Department of Corrections to answer for his outstanding parole violations,” White stated.

During the last 12-plus years, the New Hampshire Joint Fugitive Task Force has made more than 5,800 arrests.
