Fugitive Task members early Wednesday developed information that Magoon was at a family member's residence in Strafford. Once at the residence, Magoon was found residing in a camper at the rear of the property, where he was arrested without incident and transported directly to the Belknap County Jail.
Later in the afternoon, US Marshals of the Joint Fugitive Task Force were actively searching for multi-state fugitive, Tyler Christopher Leary, 29, who was last known to reside in Rochester. Leary was being sought by the State of Maine for failing to appear on a narcotics charge, as well as being sought in New Hampshire for failing to appear in Strafford County Superior Court on a charge of possession with intent to distribute narcotics.
Additionally, Leary recently amassed a third arrest warrant issued out of the Dover District Court alleging he was in violation of a protective order and two counts of criminal threatening: fear of bodily harm.
During the search members of the Marshals Fugitive Task Force were checking possible locations for Leary, when one of the investigators spotted Leary in the rear of a vehicle at a Rochester store. The task force was able to quickly mobilize and stop the vehicle in downtown Rochester, where he was arrested without incident.
Leary was transported to the Strafford County Jail for processing and holding on his outstanding New Hampshire warrants. Additionally, Leary will be charged as a fugitive from justice based on the outstanding arrest warrant issued out of Maine. Leary will have multiple court hearings in New Hampshire to attend to clear his local criminal matters prior to being returned to Maine to face his other narcotics related charge.
