WOODSTOCK, Conn — A man wanted out of Massachusetts on child porn charges was found living at a secluded campsite in the woods in Woodstock, where he had been hiding for months, according to the U.S. Marshals.
The U.S. Marshals assisted local police Monday in finding Steven Labrecque, 40. He is wanted by Massachusetts police in Franklin and New Bedford on multiple charges connected to child porn, child endangerment and assault.
Labrecque was taken to Connecticut State Police where he is in custody as a fugitive from justice.
“Despite his extraordinary efforts to elude capture, the apprehension of Mr. Labrecque demonstrates the tenacity of the USMS Violent Fugitive Task Force and the incredible value our law enforcement partnerships have in fulfilling our mutual mission of improving the safety of the communities we serve," said Lawrence Bobnick, acting U.S. Marshal for the District of Connecticut.
Labrecque awaits extradition back to Massachusetts.
