CONCORD, NH — The U.S. Marshals Service’s Joint Fugitive Task Force has been requested to assist in the capture of Tammara Ipock, an alleged escaped prisoner who fled Belknap County custody this afternoon. Ipock, according to Deputy Marshal Jeffrey White, “was able to free herself from one of her handcuffs, and flee from the transport vehicle” on June 22, 2017, while being transported to jail.

“The escape happened in the area of Union Avenue and Court Streets in Laconia at approximately 3:30 p.m.,” he stated. “Ipock was last seen wearing an orange, Merrimack County Corrections prisoner uniform.”

Ipock is 5 feet, 2 inches tall, weighs around 120 lbs., and has blue eyes and brown hair. She has several identifiable tattoos including on her right ankle – four leaf clover; left ankle – flower and moon; right upper arm – butterfly; and on her neck – zodiac symbol.

Ipock, White noted, is currently wanted for the escape as well as two outstanding Belknap County warrants for failure to appear on narcotic charges.

"Ipock has family, friends, and associates throughout Belknap and Merrimack Counties, and her current whereabouts are unknown," White stated. "As always, we encourage fugitives to do the right thing and surrender; and also remind family, friends and associates that it is a crime to assist Ipock in her flight from justice and could result in criminal charges."

Ipock, who formerly lived in Concord, was indicted recently for felony theft by deception, for allegedly stealing and then returning diapers for a cash card at Hannaford. Previously, she has been convicted twice of theft in Laconia District Court. Twice during the last few months, she was caught up in Operation Granite Hammer drug raids in both Concord and Tilton.
