Both were minimum-security residents who signed out seeking employment Monday
New Hampshire authorities are searching for two minimum-security inmates alleged to have escaped from their transitional housing facility in Manchester early this week, according to the state Department of Corrections.
Aris Karamousianis, 43, and James Brouillard, 63, signed out of the transitional housing unit in Manchester, about 22 miles south of Concord, at 11:05 a.m. EDT Monday in search of employment, the department said in a statement. “Neither returned to their transitional housing facility and their current whereabouts are unknown,” the department said.
The pair were placed on “ESCAPE” status at 5:30 p.m. Monday. Authorities said their last known location was near Manchester’s Delta Dental Stadium.
Karamousianis was convicted on charges of being a felon in possession of a dangerous weapon, and was to be released as early as Dec. 3, according to the corrections department. Brouillard is incarcerated for armed robbery with a maximum custody release date of Dec. 2, 2030.
The department described Karamousianis as a White man about 6 feet, 2 inches tall and weighing about 220 pounds, with blue eyes and brown hair. He was last seen wearing jeans, a white T-shirt, a gray zip-up fleece jacket and a gold cross necklace.
Brouillard is described as a White man, about 6 feet, 1 inch tall and about 200 pounds. He was last seen wearing jeans, a gray crew-neck sweatshirt and white sneakers. Brouillard has several tattoos, including a skull with a heart and rose on his right forearm, the Grim Reaper on his right arm, and a dragon on his left arm.
Anyone with information about the men’s whereabouts is asked to contact the New Hampshire Department of Corrections.
