Robert A. Dematteo, 67, of 42 Allen St., has been a fugitive since 1998 from Florida on two counts of theft by deception, both felonies.
The Portsmouth Police Department has a warrant charging Dematteo with four counts of theft by deception and one count of theft.
There is a federal complaint issued out of the District of New Hampshire accusing Dematteo of unlawful use of a Social Security number.
