Concord,
NH – The United States Marshals Service is very happy to
announce the arrest of one of New Hampshire’s “Fugitives of the Week,”
Jesse Davis. Jesse Daniel Davis, 38 years-of-age, was arrested early
this morning after being found using the name, Jesse Kimball at a
Lewiston, Maine hotel. Davis had been wanted on a Strafford County (NH)
Superior Court warrant for failing to appear on a charge of reckless
conduct with a deadly weapon (vehicle) that was issued on December 30,
2020.
Mr. Davis had been featured on January 6th as the
“Fugitive of the Week,” which was aired on WTPL-FM, WMUR-TV, The Union
Leader, The Nashua Telegraph, The Patch, Foster’s Daily Democrat,
Manchester Information, the Manchester Ink Link, the Rochester 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 numerous fugitives since its implementation
in 2007. Additionally, the “Fugitive of the Week” was distributed
statewide to all law enforcement officers in New Hampshire.
This
arrest is a direct result of the multiple tips received this weekend
pointing investigators to hotels on Lisbon Street in Lewiston, Maine.
Investigators from the U.S. Marshals – Maine Violent Offenders Task
Force checked these hotels this morning and were able to locate Mr.
Davis using the name Jesse Kimball. Davis was arrested inside his hotel
room without further incident. Mr. Davis was also found to have a bail
violation warrant issued out of Oxford County, Maine.
Mr. Davis
was booked at the Androscoggin County Jail as a fugitive from justice
based on the Strafford County (NH) warrant and will be held pending his
court appearance later today. Additionally, Davis will need to be seen
in Oxford County Maine prior to his return to New Hampshire.
This arrest was made by several member agencies of the U.S. Marshals –
Maine Violent Offender Task Force including, Maine State Police, Maine
Department of Corrections, Biddeford Police Department, and U.S Border
Patrol, along with deputy US Marshals.
Since the inception of the
U.S. Marshals – New Hampshire Joint Fugitive Task Force in 2002, these
partnerships have resulted in over 8,218 arrests (Updated as of
12/16/2020). These arrests have ranged in seriousness from murder,
