CONCORD, N.H. - "Fugitive of the Week," Jacob Brown, 24, was arrested without incident this morning inside an apartment on Sullivan Street in Berwick, Maine. Brown was featured as the "Fugitive of the Week" on May 20, because he was wanted on an outstanding arrest warrant for violations of conditions of supervised release. Brown was on supervised release as a result of his conviction and sentence for his role in a 2010 Farmington, N.H., bank robbery.

Brown had previously been featured as the Fugitive of the Week back in March of 2014 for a similar supervised release violation, after he fled from a residential substance abuse treatment facility.

As part of the U.S. Marshals fugitive investigation, Brown was featured as the "Fugitive of the Week," which was broadcast on WMUR-TV and other media outlets as well as online.

The "Fugitive of the Week" continues to be very successful tool that has resulted in the location and arrest of numerous fugitives since its implementation in 2007.
