Concord,
NH – The U.S. Marshals – NH Joint Fugitive Task Force is
pleased to announce the quick arrest of the first “Fugitive of the Week”
of 2022. Casey Anne Holley, 43 years-of-age, was last known to have ties
to the Rochester and Concord, NH areas when she became a fugitive.
Holley was being sought on an arrest warrant issued by the Strafford
County Superior Court for failing to appear on a narcotics charge on
October 4, 2021.
As part of this investigation, Ms. Holley had
been featured as the “Fugitive of the Week” just yesterday, January 5,
2022. This feature was aired on WTPL-FM, WNTK-FM, WTSN-FM, WEMJ-FM, The
Union Leader, The Nashua Telegraph, The Patch, Manchester Information,
the Manchester Ink Link, The Rochester & Lebanon Voice and prominently
featured on the internet. The “Fugitive of the Week” continues to be a
very successful tool that has resulted in the location and arrest of
over 500 fugitives since its implementation in 2007. Additionally, the
“Fugitive of the Week” was also to be distributed statewide to all law
enforcement officers in New Hampshire.
Shortly after Ms. Holley
had been featured as the “Fugitive of the Week,” several tips were
received from the public. The information received pointed investigators
to a residence in the 200 block of Concord Hill Road in Pittsfield, NH.
This afternoon, members of the U.S. Marshals – NH Joint Fugitive Task
Force, along officers from the Pittsfield Police Department were able
locate and arrest Ms. Holley, who was located hiding inside of a
bathroom in the residence. Ms. Holley was transported to the Strafford
County Jail, where she is being held pending her initial court
appearance in Strafford County Superior Court tomorrow.
This
arrest was made by several members of the U.S. Marshal’s – NH Joint
Fugitive Task Force, including Strafford County Sheriff’s Office, the
Pittsfield Police Department, along with deputy U.S. Marshals.
U.S. Marshal, Nick Willard said, “Time and time again, we have fugitives
that continue to hide and hope law enforcement doesn’t find them. The
U.S. Marshals Service takes pride in tracking down these people.”
Willard continued, “The best decision a fugitive can make is to always
turn yourself in and resolve your legal matters.”
Since the
inception of the U.S. Marshals – New Hampshire Joint Fugitive Task Force
in 2002, these partnerships have resulted in over 8,533 arrests (Updated
as of 12/20/2021). These arrests have ranged in seriousness from murder,
assault, unregistered sex offenders, probation and parole violations and
numerous other serious offenses. Nationally the United States Marshals
Service fugitive programs are carried out with local law enforcement in
94 district offices, 85 local fugitive task forces, 8 regional task
forces, as well as a growing network of offices in foreign countries.
