Belknap County Fugitive Anthony Clark Arrested in South Boston

CONCORD - An inmate of the Belknap County jail who fled from a hospital where he was receiving medical treatment was arrested by the U.S. Marshals this morning in South Boston, U.S. Attorney Jane E. Young announces.

Anthony Clark, 41, was charged by complaint on August 1, 2024, with one count of violating the Fugitive Felon Act. Clark was arrested in South Boston this morning and will appear in federal court in Concord at noon today.

According to the charging documents, Clark was an inmate at the Belknap County jail on pretrial detention. He was facing trial on state charges, including assault, domestic violence, strangulation, witness tampering, and violating a protective order. In July 2024, he was released on conditions to the Concord Hospital in Laconia, New Hampshire, for medical procedures. Clark had an electronic ankle bracelet to monitor his location.

At approximately 10 p.m. on Sunday, July 28, the Laconia Police Department received a call from a concerned citizen who found an ankle bracelet on High Street near the Concord Hospital. Law enforcement confirmed that the bracelet belonged to Clark. Footage from Concord Hospital confirmed that Clark fled the area of the hospital at around 1 a.m. that day. When the ankle bracelet was removed from Clark there was a tamper alert, but it had gone undetected.

The U.S. Marshals arrested Clark. Assistant U.S. Attorney Alexander S. Chen is prosecuting the case.
