UPDATED: 'Consider fugitive armed and dangerous'

Timothy Wayne Smith

A New Hampshire fugitive from justice tied to a string of burglaries in Lebanon in which guns were stolen should be considered armed and dangerous, a U.S. Marshal said today.

• Timothy Wayne Smith, 22, who was last living in Rochester prior to his incarceration on felony charges for receiving stolen property, is wanted on a warrant for a parole violation issued by the New Hampshire Department of Corrections Parole Board. Officials say he's been on the run since August when he ended contact with his parole supervisor following his release from New Hampshire State Prison.

Since August he is suspected in several Lebanon burglaries, including at least one in which firearms were stolen.

Smith has a “history of violence,” including assault, theft and burglary, said U.S. Marshal Jeffrey White, whose headquarters are in Concord.

White did not have information on where in Lebanon the robberies occurred or whether the firearms were rifles or handguns.

Maine State Police are currently working on several recent robberies that may or may not be connected, including some in Hollis as well as Lebanon, said Maine State Police Troop A Commander Lt. Louis Nyitray.

Smith is described as white, about 5-foot-9, with black hair, brown eyes and several tattoos. On his left forearm is a tattoo of the Boston Red Sox. On his right forearm there are several tattoos which include a scorpion, “1990” and a demon face.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the U.S. Marshals Joint Fugitive Task Force at 603-225-1632 or local police.
