CONCORD, NH - A Somersworth man wanted on criminal threatening and drug charges was picked up by U.S. Marshals on Friday.
Kejuan Williams, 44, had outstanding warrant issued by the Rockingham County Sheriff's Office for bail violations along with original charges of criminal threatening with a deadly weapon, criminal mischief and possession of a controlled drug, all stemming from an incident in Portsmouth on Sept.11.
The bail jumping was discovered on Christmas Eve when Rockingham County Sheriff's Deputies and Corrections Officers conducted a check of Williams at his Portsmouth residence where it was noticed that Williams' GPS monitoring bracelet was not charged, and Williams was nowhere to be found.
An arrest warrant was issued for violation of bail conditions on Dec. 27 and the New Hampshire Joint Fugitive Task Force was asked to assist in the apprehension.
On January 20, information was developed that Williams was staying with an associate in the Somersworth area. Williams was located in a residence on Crystal Springs Way, and arrested without incident.
He was transported to the Rockingham County Department of Correction pending his initial court appearance.
