Concord,
NH – Yesterday, members of the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task
Force in Portland, Oregon was able to locate and arrest, “Fugitive of
the Week,” Lamar Linwood Clark. Upon approach to the residence, Clark
attempted to flee by jumping off a rear balcony and was taken into
custody as he hit the ground.
Clark, 32 years-of-age, was last known to be live
in and around Manchester, NH. Mr. Clark had been featured as the U.S.
Marshals – New Hampshire “Fugitive of the Week” just yesterday,
September 22nd. Clark was being sought on an outstanding Rockingham
County (NH) Superior Court warrant for failing to appear on a charge of
non-consensual dissemination of private sexual images. Information
developed by the NH Joint Fugitive Task Force through interviews and
research led to Clark’s location in Portland, Oregon. This information
was relayed to our partners in Portland who were able to quickly act on
it, which resulted in Clark’s arrest
As part of the search for
Clark, he was featured as the “Fugitive of the Week” on September 22,
2021. 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
distributed statewide to all law enforcement officers in New Hampshire.
After Clark’s arrest, he was transported to the Multnomah County
Detention Center, where he was held as a fugitive from justice on the
outstanding arrest warrant issued out of the State of New Hampshire.
Clark will most likely be ordered detained pending his return to
Rockingham County to face these serious allegations.
U.S. Marshal
Nick Willard said, “Even when fugitives flee completely to the other
side of the country, the men and women of the US Marshals will track you
down so you can face the criminal justice system.”
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,
assault, unregistered sex offenders, probation and parole violations and
