'Fugitive of the Week' Arrested by U.S. Marshals in Denmark, Maine

Concord, NH - This week’s “Fugitive of the Week,” Adam John Little, 35, was arrested today at about noon by the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force in a Denmark, ME apartment. Little was just featured this past Wednesday as the “Fugitive of the Week.” Little was wanted for parole violations in the State of New Hampshire. Mr. Little was on parole due to his original conviction and sentence for criminal threatening and intimidation. Additionally, during a recent encounter with NH parole officers, Little is alleged to have assaulted a parole officer prior to fleeing.

It was based on the “Fugitive of the Week” feature that the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force received multiple tips pointing to a residence on West Main Street in Denmark, Maine. Today, members of the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force, along with a Maine State Trooper and his K-9 partner went to the residence in Denmark. Little was quickly located and arrested without incident.

Today’s arrest was made by task force officers from the Belknap, Strafford, Rockingham and Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Offices, deputy U.S. Marshals, and with the assistance of the Maine State Police.
