Nice job, ABJ. Now this guy will know the police are looking for him. Way to give him advance warning.

I see your point on one hand... but on the other now that his arrest has been made public, anyone caught helping or harboring him could be charged with a crime. I wonder if that is a deterrent or not.

What's the difference Hank ? Now he knows he's wanted, he didn't before. He's lookin over his shoulder until he's taken off the street, not a good feeling I'm sure. I like the way APD is going about this. This is they're job, they know what's shakin.....

I wonder if he is related to Michael Townsend, the deadbeat dad who owe over 25k in child support?

The difference, lowrider54, is that people who don't know they are wanted are easier to catch than those who do.

it sounds as if he was identified from the State Felony DNA Data base. DNA taken from anybody convicted of a felony
