Nicholas Cummings, 28, last known address of 26 Lincoln Ave., Nashua

CONCORD — Nicholas Cummings, a Nashua native who law enforcement officials say has maintained strong local ties to the city, has been named this week’s Fugitive of the Week by the U.S. Marshals’ New Hampshire Joint Fugitive Task Force.

Agents are “actively attempting to locate and arrest” Cummings, who is accused of violating “multiple bail conditions set by the U.S. District Court,” according to Andrew A. Grillo, Deputy U.S. Marshal for the District of New Hampshire.

Grillo said Cummings, 30, was charged in April with possessing and distributing controlled substances, but he was subsequently released on bail with conditions “meant to manage his (alleged) drug use and community interaction.

“Unfortunately, Cummings’s (alleged) violations center around evidence of repeated drug use and failures to comply with court-ordered programs,” Grillo said.

Among Cummings’s arrests is the one in Merrimack in October 2020 in which he and a woman, also from Nashua, were taken into custody at The Residences at Daniel Webster by Merrimack police.

Cummings, whose address was listed as 26 Lincoln Ave. in Nashua at the time, was charged with two counts of possession of a controlled drug, and one count each of possession of a controlled drug with intent to distribute, and possession of a hypodermic needle.

The woman was charged with two counts of possession of a controlled drug, and one count each of possession of a controlled drug with intent to distribute and falsifying evidence, according to police.

Both were booked on the charges and later released on personal recognizance bail.

The Marshals’ Service warns residents against attempting to apprehend Cummings, or any other wanted fugitive. Instead, anyone who believes they see Cummings is urged to call the Marshals’ Service district office in Concord at 225-1632, or call 1-877-WANTED-2 or contact your local police department.
