U.S. Marshals Seek Escaped Belknap County Prisoner

Concord, NH - The United States Marshals Service (USMS), District of New Hampshire Joint Fugitive Task Force and Belknap County Sheriff’s Office are asking for the public’s assistance in locating an escaped Belknap County prisoner that fled from the Concord Hospital - Laconia early Sunday morning. 

Anthony Clark, 41, was being held at the Belknap County Department of Corrections pending trial for a variety of domestic violence related crimes, including strangulation, simple assault, stalking, and witness tampering. While in custody, Clark required medical treatment and was taken to the hospital. An ankle monitor was placed on Clark, but it was recovered outside the hospital grounds later that day. Nationwide arrest warrants from Belknap County Superior Court have been issued for new charges of escape, criminal mischief, and breach of bail. 

Clark is actively evading law enforcement but is known to have associates and relatives in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and California. Victims of Clark’s violent behavior consider his escape a looming threat. Additional charges for associates aiding his continued escape may be pending. 

Clark is described as a Hispanic man, standing 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing 230 pounds. He has brown eyes, short brown hair and tattoos on both upper and forearms, and there is an emoji-style tattoo on his right hand above the thumb. 

If you see Clark, or someone that matches his description, please do not approach or attempt to follow him, as he is considered dangerous. Anyone with information about his whereabouts is urged to call the USMS Tip Hotline at 1 (877) WANTED-2 or District of New Hampshire at (603) 225-1632. Tips can also be submitted via the USMS Tips App.  All tips are kept confidential.
