N.H. fugitive caught in Peachtree City

A clean-shaven look, a false name and a new home state were not enough to fool agents of the Southern Regional Fugitive Task Force in hot pursuit of an accused child sex offender wanted out of New Hampshire.

Agents arrested 57-year-old Bruce Melvin Tuttle of Farmingdale, Maine, Tuesday, April 26 at the Aberdeen Conference Center construction site in Peachtree City. He is wanted by Strafford County, N.H., sheriff’s officials for 19 counts of aggravated sexual assault involving two female children, said Steve McCausland, spokesman for the Maine State Police.

Tuttle’s indictments charge him with aggravated sexual assault involving two girls under 13 between 1997 and 2002 in Rochester and Strafford, N.H., officials said. He was tracked to a Salvation Army shelter in Griffin before authorities arrested him in Peachtree City.

Tuttle was posing as his brother-in-law, who died in 1971, officials said.
