Fugitive of the Week: Cory Michael Watts

The NH Department of Corrections is actively attempting to locate and arrest fugitive, Cory Michael Watts.

On 04/25/22, Watts was convicted of one count of Class B Felony Kidnapping and sentenced to 4 years of probation supervision. On that same date, Watts was released from the Hillsborough County House of Corrections and never reported to the Manchester Probation/Parole District Office as directed.

As a result, the court issued a warrant/capias for his arrest, and he has been a fugitive ever since.

Watts is believed to be in the area of Newmarket and/or Pembroke. Watts should be considered ARMED & DANGEROUS based on information received that he may possibly have a handgun due to ammunition being found in a backpack belonging to him. It should also be noted that he is a suspect in a pending sexual assault police investigation.

The NH Department of Corrections is seeking any information that may lead to the location and arrest of Watts. If you see someone who resembles Watts, please contact the NH Department of Corrections, or your local police department.
