MANCHESTER –– New Hampshire’s Department of Corrections is on the hunt for a parole fugitive with past convictions for armed robbery, according to official statements released on Thursday.
Justin Michael Paquette, who has been described as having violent tendencies, is wanted for a parole violation related to his previous conviction of armed robbery, for which he was sentenced to serve between 2 1/2 to 8 years in prison.

Paquette is known to frequent the White River Junction area, spanning both Vermont and New Hampshire.
Officials are urging the public to stay vigilant and to report any sightings or information about Paquette to the Department of Corrections immediately.
