Child porn suspect from Massachusetts found hiding in Connecticut woods
A Massachusetts man wanted by police on child pornography charges was found at a secluded campsite in Woodstock, Connecticut after hiding there for months, the US Marshals Service said on Monday.
Steven Labrecque, 40, was wanted on a slew of charges, including child pornography, photographing intimate parts of a child, intimidation of a witness, reckless endangerment of a child, threatening, obscene matter to a minor, assault, and battery, the Marshals Service said.
Police in Franklin and New Bedford, Mass. requested the assistance of the Marshals after they were unable to track down Labrecque on their own, according to a statement.
Labrecque was moved into the custody of the Connecticut State Police on a fugitive charge and is awaiting extradition to Massachusetts to face the mountain of other charges against him, according to the statement.
Lawrence Bobnick, acting US Marshal for the District of Connecticut, told the Boston Globe that Labrecque’s long-awaited, “high risk” arrest would not have been possible without the collaboration between all departments involved, spanning from local to federal.
“Despite his extraordinary efforts to elude capture, the apprehension of Mr. Labrecque demonstrates the tenacity of the USMS Violent Fugitive Task Force and the incredible value our law enforcement partnerships have in fulfilling our mutual mission of improving the safety of the communities we serve,” Bobnick said.
Naugatuck Police say one person has been arrested after a multi-car accident on Route 63 Saturday afternoon.
According to police, they responded to the area of Route 63 and Cherry Street around 1 p.m. for reports of a collision with injuries.
They say a 30-year-old man from Waterbury was arrested and charged with operating under the influence of drugs/alcohol, operating under the influence with a child passenger, illegal possession of prescription drugs, failure to keep narcotics in the original container, risk of injury to a child and distracted driving.
Police say he is being held on a $10,000 Surety Bond.
