Authorities in New Hampshire and New York announced the arrest of Nashua resident Jacob Reznikow, 39, on a series of serious criminal charges. U.S. Marshals located Reznikow in Rome, New York, a few weeks after a coordinated, months‑long effort to locate the suspect.

Charges stem from multiple incidents

Prosecutors say the indictment includes more than a dozen counts, ranging from felony possession of a dangerous weapon to drug‑related offenses. The charges trace back to June, when Reznikow was allegedly found with several firearms and illegal narcotics. In September, he is accused of crashing a vehicle and fleeing the scene, further compounding the case against him.

According to the indictment, investigators discovered that Reznikow used hollowed‑out compartments in his car to conceal both firearms and drugs, a method intended to evade detection by law‑enforcement officers.

Prosecutors describe a pattern of non‑cooperation

During a court appearance on Monday, Reznikou did not have legal representation present. Prosecutor Melissa Farr highlighted an extensive criminal record dating back to 2009 in New Hampshire, noting that Reznikow has repeatedly refused to cooperate with the legal process. Farr quoted the defendant as telling his girlfriend and his juvenile daughter that he would either resist surrendering to authorities or seek a “suicide by cop” scenario.

“He has stated to his girlfriend and his juvenile daughter that he would be unwilling to surrender himself to law enforcement or voluntarily go through the legal process,” Farr said. “He also stated his encounter with law enforcement would either result in suicide by cop or something similar, which was confirmed by both females.”

Potential penalties and next steps

If convicted on all counts, Reznikow faces a possible sentence of more than 15 years in state prison. He remains in custody pending a scheduled court appearance in early November.

The case underscores the collaborative efforts of local, state, and federal law‑enforcement agencies to bring dangerous individuals to justice, protecting both the Nashua community and the broader public from the threats posed by illegal firearms and narcotics.
