Amadiz was located during the search and is being held as a fugitive from justice and will be arraigned this morning at the 9th Circuit-District Division Manchester. A loaded firearm and a quantity of drugs were allegedly seized by deputies while executing a subsequent search warrant for the apartment. It is anticipated that additional charges will be filed against Amadiz.
Kelly Johns, 33, and Benny Amadiz, 46, were also arrested due to the investigation. Johns was arrested on a warrant from the Manchester Police Department for armed robbery and first-degree assault. Amadiz was arrested on two warrants issued by the Hillsborough County Superior Court for failing to appear in court on the underlying charges of possession of a controlled drug and breach of bail.
The Manchester Police Department, NH Department of Corrections Probation/Parole, United States Marshals Service, and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration assisted with this fugitive apprehension operation.
Connelly thanked the assisting agencies and said that this operation is yet another example of the level of cooperation and partnership between local, county, state, and federal law enforcement agencies in New Hampshire. These partnerships allow for investigations and operations like this to be carried out seamlessly, all to get dangerous people off of the streets, Connelly said.
