The man who took hostages at a New Hampshire Hillary Clinton campaign office in 2007 cut off his monitoring equipment Tuesday and went on the lam.
Leeland Eisenberg, who has a history of mental and alcohol problems, was on probation when he cut off his GPS bracelet at 10:09 a.m. and "absconded from supervision," cops said.
He was last seen in Dover, N.H., getting into a green SUV with a female driver, officials said.
In 2007, Eisenberg strapped road flares to his chest and took five campaign workers hostage in Rochester, N.H. He surrendered after a five-hour standoff. No one was hurt.
Eisenberg, who said he was molested by a priest, reportedly wanted assistance getting mental help. He served two years of a three-year sentence but had trouble sticking to his probation rules, including taking medication and getting court-mandated mental help.
A dozen mental health agencies in New Hampshire have declined to treat him because he has sued doctors, the newspaper Foster's Daily Democrat reported last month.
