CONCORD, NH — The New Hampshire Department of Corrections is attempting to locate and arrest a possibly “armed and dangerous” fugitive with a lengthy criminal history.

Jaquelle Lamar Anderson is 39, Black, about 5 feet, 7 inches tall, and weighs around 190 pounds. He has brown eyes and is bald. According to investigators, Anderson has been known to use the aliases “Q,” “Quelle,” “Quelly,” and “Guttaboi Goldmouth McDurmutt.”

Rockingham County Superior Court issued the warrant for his arrest after Anderson was accused of absconding from probation supervision on March 19 after receiving suspended sentences on multiple theft convictions. After he was accused of selling drugs to fellow probationers, he failed to appear in court, an alert stated.

“Anderson has previous convictions that include multiple willful concealment charges and numerous theft by unauthorized taking charges that amounted to well over $100K in stolen merchandise, as well as drug convictions,” an alert stated.

Anderson was last known to be living in Portsmouth. Investigators said he has a silver BMW SUV with a New Hampshire registration beginning with the numbers 537.

“Probation has reason to believe that Anderson may be armed,” investigators said, which is why an “armed and dangerous” designation was placed on his fugitive status.

According to superior court records, Anderson’s criminal history dates back about 22 years.

In December 2002, in Salem, he was accused of felony willful concealment. A year later, he pleaded guilty to the charge. Six months later, he violated probation and had a hearing in January 2006.

In Nashua, in April 2007, he was accused of resisting arrest or detention and pleaded guilty to the charge in January 2008. In between, in June 2007, he was accused of felony receiving stolen property and pleaded guilty to the charge four months later. In August 2008, he was accused of violating probation. Anderson had a hearing in May 2009. He also had a hearing on a violation of a court order in September 2010.

In December 2020, the Commonwealth of Virginia requested documents from his criminal case on the stolen property charge.

Anderson was charged acts prohibited and willful concealment, both felonies, in December 2017, after an incident in Salem four months before. He pleaded guilty to the charges in May 2022 and received a 12-month suspended sentence with 12 days of jail time credit and a fine of $434. Anderson was accused of violating probation in November 2022 and received a one-and-a-half to three-year suspended sentence, with 123 days time served, in July 2023.

In between that case, in March 2022, he was charged with four felony theft counts out of Nashua. Anderson pleaded guilty to two of the charges in September 2022. He received two two-and-a-half to five-year sentences, both suspended for five years, and $7,419 in fines.

In February and March 2023, Anderson was charged with willful concealment and theft felonies in Manchester, willful concealment and organized retail crime enterprise felony charges in Merrimack, felony theft in Salem (and later, a probation violation), and felony possession of controlled drugs and resisting arrest or detention charges. He pleaded guilty to all but the Manchester concealment charge. Anderson received several suspended sentences and was fined $6,788.86 accumulatively.

Do not try to apprehend him if you see him or know where he is. Instead, contact local police or the Department of Corrections at 603-271-1804.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A Massachusetts couple have been indicted on suspicion of casting ballots in New Hampshire despite living outside the state, according to prosecutors.

The couple, ages 56 and 54, each face three felony counts of wrongful voting, New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella announced last week.

According to the indictments, they voted multiple times in Concord despite being domiciled in Massachusetts.

Specifically, the two are alleged to have voted in the Nov, 3, 2020, general election; the Nov. 8, 2022, general election; and the Nov, 8, 2022, Concord School District election. They are believed to have lived in Ashland, Massachusetts, at the time of each of the elections.

A lawyer representing one of those indicted said he’s submitted a plea of not guilty for his client and looks forward to working with the attorney general’s office to better understand the facts and circumstances surrounding the charges.

The two are scheduled to be arraigned Monday in Merrimack County Superior Court, according to Formella.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Three parents and a grandparent have sued a New Hampshire school district, saying their rights were violated when they were barred from school grounds for wearing pink wristbands with “XX,” representing the female chromosome pair, in protest of a transgender girl playing in a girls soccer game.

The lawsuit filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Concord followed a Sept. 17 match at Bow High School against Plymouth Regional High School. A 15-year-old transgender girl is playing on the Plymouth team as she and another teen challenge a New Hampshire ban in court.

Two of the parents whose daughters play for Bow wore the wristbands during the second half of the game to “silently express their opinion about the importance of reserving women’s sports for biological females,” according to their lawsuit filed by attorneys from the Institute for Free Speech.

The lawsuit said school officials and a local police officer confronted the parents during the game, telling them to remove the wristbands or leave. The plaintiffs refused, citing their First Amendment rights, then said they were threatened with arrest for trespassing.

At one point, the referee stopped the game and said that Bow High School would forfeit if the plaintiffs did not remove their wristbands, the lawsuit said. The wristbands were removed and the game resumed.

Following the game, the two parents received “No Trespass Orders” banning them from school grounds and events, the lawsuit said. One was banned for a week, the other for the fall term.

“Parents don’t shed their First Amendment rights at the entrance to a school’s soccer field. We wore pink wristbands to silently support our daughters and their right to fair competition,” Kyle Fellers, one of the plaintiffs who said he received a no-trespass order, said in a statement. “Instead of fostering open dialogue, school officials responded with threats and bans that have a direct impact on our lives and our children’s lives.”

The lawsuit says it seeks to prevent what it describes as the unconstitutional application of several school policies, including those requiring “mutual respect, civility, and orderly conduct” and prohibiting actions that “injure, threaten, harass, or intimidate” or “impede, delay, disrupt, or otherwise interfere with any school activity or function.”

In addition to the school district, the lawsuit names as defendants district Superintendent Marcy Kelley, Bow High School Principal Matt Fisk, school athletic director Michael Desilets, as well as the police officer and referee.

“At this time, we have no comment,” Kelley said in an email Tuesday when asked if she, other members of the school district, or an attorney representing them, wanted to respond to the lawsuit. Emails sent to the police officer and to the organization representing the referee were not immediately answered.

An email seeking comment from the attorney representing the transgender athlete also was not immediately returned.

Bow School Board chairperson Bryce Larrabee mentioned the lawsuit at a meeting Monday night and said the board would not be commenting on it. Kelley, who attended the meeting, also did not comment on the lawsuit.

Audience members spoke in favor and against the protesters during the public comment period.

“You just silenced someone who had a different opinion,” one man said.

Criticizing those who wore the pink wristbands during the game, the parent of a player on the Bow team said, “This is not the right way to go about doing things.”
