EDITOR’S NOTE: In cooperation with local law enforcement officials, The Evening News and The Tribune publishes a monthly print feature called “Most Wanted.” The online version of the file will be updated more often at newsandtribune.com. These are the same “most wanted” individuals as listed last month. The Clark County Sheriff’s Department asked that the same people be listed again.
On a monthly basis, The Evening News and The Tribune will run a list of people who are most wanted by local law enforcement agencies. However, just because someone appears on this list does not mean they have been found guilty of committing a crime. It means they are wanted for either questioning for an alleged crime or need to go through the trial process for an active warrant.
Police recommend that residents never try to personally apprehend a suspect. If anyone has information on the whereabouts of any of these individuals, they are asked to call Detective Randy R. Burton with the Clark County Sheriff’s Department at 812-283-4471 or 812-285-6338. If someone prefers to remain anonymous, they may leave a message at the department’s tip line, which is not traced, at 812-280-CCSO (2276).
