Daniel Irving, 35, pleaded guilty on July 15 to one count of escape from federal custody after leaving a Manchester halfway house and being apprehended by U.S. Marshals, according to U.S. Attorney Erin Creegan. Sentencing is scheduled for November 4 before U.S. District Court Judge Steven J. McAuliffe.
According to court documents and statements made in court, Irving was serving the remainder of his prior federal sentence at the Hampshire House in Manchester following a transfer from a Bureau of Prisons facility in West Virginia. In October 2025, law enforcement was notified that Irving had removed his electronic GPS monitoring device and absconded from the halfway house. The United States Marshals initiated a search and later located him at a home in Goffstown.
The charge of escape carries a maximum prison term of five years, a maximum fine of $250,000, and up to three years of supervised release. Sentences are determined by federal district court judges based on the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and relevant statutes.
The United States Marshals Service led the investigation into Irving’s escape with assistance from the Goffstown Police Department and Manchester Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew Vicinanzo is prosecuting the case.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Hampshire serves as a federal law enforcement entity that prosecutes federal crimes, handles civil cases involving the government, builds alliances with law enforcement agencies at all levels, represents New Hampshire in federal court proceedings, and enhances community well-being through law enforcement efforts under direction from the United States Attorney General, according to its official website.
