FUGITIVE FROM JUSTICE WANTED FOR CHILD SEXAUL ASSAULT ARRESTED — On Tuesday, June 16, 2026, deputies from the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office extradited 23‑year‑old Brandon Yvon Gilbert from West Virginia and returned him to New Hampshire.

Gilbert was wanted on an active arrest warrant issued by Hillsborough County Superior Court South after he failed to appear for a scheduled court hearing on April 22, 2026.

Gilbert had fled the state and was located by the Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigative Services Division in Charlestown, West Virginia.

Through coordinated investigative efforts with the Charleston Police Department, Gilbert was taken into custody without incident on May 20, 2026. Gilbert was charged as a Fugitive from Justice pending extradition proceedings.

Gilbert was returned to face four felony indictments, including three counts of Aggravated Felonious Sexual Assault involving a victim under the age of 13 and one count of Witness Tampering.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office would like to recognize the Charleston Police Department, whose efforts played a critical role in bringing this investigation to a successful conclusion.

All individuals are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.

31 COMMERCIAL VEHICLE STOPS RESULTS IN A SHOCKING 146 VIOLATIONS DISCOVERED – More than 30 traffic stops of commercial vehicles resulted in the discovery of nearly 150 violations during a second joint enforcement initiative conducted by the New Hampshire State Police and the Plaistow Police Department.

On Friday, June 12, 2026, State Troopers assigned to the Motor Carrier Enforcement Unit within Troop G partnered with Plaistow officers, as part of an ongoing enforcement effort, to address concerns expressed by Plaistow residents related to the unsafe operation of commercial vehicles in the town.

Members of both agencies worked together on an enhanced enforcement patrol to deter and detect excessive speed, violations of weight restrictions, driving on restricted roads, as well as other unsafe behaviors by commercial drivers.

During this month’s initiative, dozens of vehicles were stopped, including 31 commercial vehicles. During inspections of the commercial vehicles, 146 violations were discovered.

These inspections resulted in 5 drivers and 7 vehicles being placed out of service and removed from the road for critical safety violations or improper driver credentialing.

Multiple summonses and warnings were issued for issues ranging from speeding to drivers operating in violation of federal out-of-service orders.

A previous joint enforcement initiative conducted on Tuesday, January 13, 2026, resulted in the discovery of 106 violations on commercial vehicles.

Troopers and members of the Plaistow Police Department will continue to collaboratively address the community’s concerns with additional joint patrols.

A preliminary on-scene investigation indicates a 2021 Subaru Crosstrek, operated by Cassandra Smith, age 30 of Hampton, NH was stopped for traffic, facing west, waiting to turn into the Mount Major Trailhead parking lot. A 2002 GMC 1500, operated by James Thomas, age 85 of Union, NH was travelling west behind the Subaru.
