Suspect On The Run In Jay

July 31, 2018

One person was taken into custody during a manhunt Monday evening in Jay as a second suspect remained on the run at last report just before 8 p.m.

The Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office sad the two were in a vehicle that had been reported stolen.

The suspect still on the run was described as a black male, thin-build and wearing a red shirt by Sgt. Rich Aloy, spokesperson for the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office. He said the suspect is about 24-years old.

A witness told NorthEscambia.com that she saw three deputies pulling over an older white SUV near the tractor dealership on Highway 4 near Smith Tractor Company. She said the SUV then fled south.

Further details have not been released.

    >>If the description is just SUSPECT and ABOUT 24-years old why even make this a story? I come to this site everyday for my news and it seems lately there hasn’t been any effort put in the stories. Was the person not wearing any clothes,

    You might try putting a little more effort into reading the story again a little bit slower and you’ll find there is more information. And, BTW, all that can be reported is what law enforcement provides.

    If the description is just SUSPECT and ABOUT 24-years old why even make this a story? I come to this site everyday for my news and it seems lately there hasn’t been any effort put in the stories. Was the person not wearing any clothes, shoes, short/tall, black, white, Hispanic. Or is the story telling the people in the area to suspect anyone that’s ABOUT 24yrs old?
