 Concord,
NH – On September 18, 2019, members of the U.S. Marshals
Fugitive Task Force from both NH and Massachusetts, along with the
Manchester Police Department, arrested Boston Police Department
fugitive, Brian Joyce. Joyce was wanted on a warrant issued out of the
Dorchester District Court in connection to a Murder that occurred this
past Monday night.
Information was developed by members of the
U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force from the Boston Police Department’s
Fugitive Unit that pointed to Manchester, NH. Late yesterday afternoon,
a cooperative effort by the US Marshals Fugitive Task Force from both NH
and MA, along with the Manchester Police Department were able to locate
and arrest Joyce without incident at a residence in the 200 block of
Wilson Street in Manchester.
Joyce was transported to the
Manchester Police Department, where he was charged as a fugitive from
justice based on the arrest warrant issued out of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts. Joyce will have his initial court appearance in
Manchester District Court on September 19, 2019 and if he waives
extradition he will be returned to Massachusetts to face these very
serious charges.
This arrest was made with the cooperative
effort of several members of the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force
including, members from the Hillsborough, Rockingham and Strafford,
County Sheriff’s Offices, the Manchester, Nashua and Boston (MA) Police
Departments, along with deputy U.S. Marshals.
U.S. Marshal Nick
Willard said, “I am extremely proud of the team that was able to quickly
and safely take Mr. Joyce into custody.” Willard continued, “Based on
the serious allegations in this case, the public can definitely feel
safer knowing that Joyce is in jail.”
Since the inception of the
New Hampshire Joint Fugitive Task Force in 2002, these partnerships have
resulted in over 7,751 arrests (Updated as of 07/25/2019). These arrests
have ranged in seriousness from murder, assault, unregistered sex
offenders, probation and parole violations and numerous other serious
offenses. Nationally the United States Marshals Service fugitive
programs are carried out with local law enforcement in 94 district
offices, 85 local fugitive task forces, 8 regional task forces, as well
