BRADENTON, Fla — A man wanted for sexual assault charges in New Hampshire was found in the Bradenton area.
The Bradenton Police Department (BPD) said they have arrested David Duncan, 70, a fugitive from New Hampshire who was wanted for multiple felony counts of alleged sexual assault on children.
According to BPD, the Campton, NH Police Department has been investigating Duncan since June. The Campton Police Department contacted BPD after they found that Duncan had used a Post Office box in the Bradenton area.
After police obtained the P.O. box information from Campton Police, BPD said that they were able to locate Duncan living in his vehicle in Bradenton in September.

When police approached the vehicle, they established a relationship with him to keep tabs on him while Compton Police secured an arrest warrant.
BPD said that once the Compton Police secured an arrest warrant in November, the Bradenton Police took Duncan into custody.
Duncan faces nine felony sexual assault charges.
He is being held in the Manatee County jail awaiting extradition back to New Hampshire.
Police said they do not have any information suggesting that Ducan was involved in criminal activity in the Bradenton area.

Thibeault had been a candidate for licensure who was subject to a supervisory agreement since May 2024, according to state records. His arrest comes after the presiding officer of the New Hampshire Board of Mental Health Practice suspended his privileges to practice in the state in late December, citing the alleged assault.
Bow police had notified the state’s Office of Professional Licensure and Certification in early December that Thibeault was accused of sexually assaulting the patient despite her “audible demands to stop,” according to an order signed by an administrative law judge.

The incident was reported to Bow police in August, prompting an investigation by Detective Sergeant Tyler Coady that led to a warrant being issued for Thibeault‘s arrest, police said.
Efforts to reach Thibeault for comment were unsuccessful Monday. It was not immediately clear whether he has an attorney.
Police said the investigation is considered active and ongoing. Anyone with additional information is encouraged to contact Coady at 603-223-3956 or tcoady@bownhpd.gov.
