CONCORD, NH — Two New Hampshire fugitives were found during the past 24 hours in two different states, according to the U.S. Marshals Service. Falynne St. John, 25, who was wanted on a gun charge as well as violation conditions of her bail, was featured in September after warrants were issued against her in July. Tips from the feature pointed to southern New England, Jeffrey White, a deputy marshal, said. "These tips were sent to several states, including the most recent tip in Rhode Island," he said. "The tip was researched by the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force in Rhode Island, who was able to locate and arrest Ms. St. John without incident this morning at a hotel in Newport, RI." St. John is being held at the Wyatt Detention Facility in Central Falls, RI, with a future arraignment date in U.S. District Court in Providence, RI. After that, she will be returned to New Hampshire, he said. Not long after St. John's arrest, Deshawn Livingston, 46, a convicted heroin dealer who was this week's Fugitive of the Week and was wanted on a supervised release violation out of Vermont, was also found. At first, the task force suspected him to be in the central part of the state, either Amherst or Manchester. However, after being featured, tips pointed to Claremont, another suspected location, according to White. "This morning, members of the US Marshals-NH Joint Fugitive Task Force, the Claremont Police Department along with the NH Attorney General's Drug Task Force investigated in and around Claremont," he said. "These efforts led to the location and arrest of Livingston without incident at a hotel in downtown Claremont." Livingston is being held at the Cheshire County Jail in Keene as a federal prisoner for the U.S. Marshals in the District of Vermont. He will have an initial appearance at the U.S. District Court in Vermont in the near future, White said. "It is great to see the teamwork between law enforcement in different states throughout New England," Nick Willard, the U.S. Marshal, said, "Fugitives think that crossing state lines lessen their chances of being found and arrested — the tips continued to come in and our law enforcement partners work seamlessly to arrest these fugitives." According to superior court records, St. John was charged in April on two controlled drug act: acts prohibited charges out of Hooksett after an incident in July 2020. She was indicted on the charges and the case is still active. At the time of the indictment, she was living in Manchester. St. John had a dispositional conference scheduled for Sept. 24 that she also missed. She also faces 10 drug possession charges out of Merrimack from September 2020.
