Tips Lead To New Hampshire Fugitive Hiding Out In Hopkinton

CONCORD, NH — Another New Hampshire Joint Fugitive Task Force fugitive has been captured due to tips from the public, according to the U.S. Marshals Service.

Task force members were looking for Padraic Ryan Bean, 47, who had connections to Concord and Conway, on a warrant for three violations of a domestic violence-related court order, Jeffrey White, a deputy marshal, said. The warrant for his arrest was issued by Webster police in January.

“Bean has a criminal history that includes stalking, assault, narcotics, manslaughter (x3), and resisting arrest,” White said. “This extensive criminal history caused the U.S. Marshals Service to put the apprehension of Mr. Bean as a top priority.”

After being featured, “several anonymous tips” were received by the task force pointing to locations in Hopkinton. On Tuesday, task force members surveilled a home on Hawthorne Hill Road, White said.

“After watching this residence for a short time, Mr. Bean was observed outside the residence smoking a cigarette,” he stated. "Investigators were able to move in and arrest Bean without incident."

Bean was taken to the Merrimack County Jail for processing and held, pending a future court appearance.

U.S. Marshal Nick Willard said the fugitive of the week program continued to receive “an incredible amount of information from members of the public” who want to ensure their communities were safe. Tips like the ones received that led to Bean’s arrest proved that, he added.

“Today’s arrest of Mr. Bean is a perfect example of the public, media, and law enforcement working together for our common goal of community safety,” Willard said.
