Fugitive of the Week, Jake W. Hagy, in Custody

Concord, NH – The New Hampshire Department of Corrections announces that Jake W. Hagy, previously featured as Fugitive of the Week, has been taken into custody.

Hagy was wanted on a parole violation, related to underlying convictions of First- Degree Assault with a Deadly Weapon, Robbery, and Receiving Stolen Property. Hagy was highlighted in the Fugitive of the Week program on Wednesday April 16, 2025.

Shortly after the posting, Hagy was located and arrested by the Somersworth Police Department. An officer searching an apartment building for an unrelated subject encountered Hagy sitting in the stairwell, sifting through drug paraphernalia. The officer recognized Hagy and, upon checking for active warrants, confirmed his wanted status. Hagy fully cooperated and was taken into custody on the parole warrant as well as an additional Failure to Appear warrant out of Belknap County Superior Court.

After transporting Hagy, the arresting officer discovered a bag containing a substance suspected to be methamphetamine where he was seated. As a result, the officer intends to pursue a new charge of drug possession.

Hagy is currently being held at Strafford County House of Corrections.
